If you're considering trying it again, OneNote has a web version (works well with any chromium based browser)

OneNote is nice and sweet on the surface, but a p.i.t.a. to maintain when it grows.
Notebooks are tied-in to your OneDrive in an awkward way, the book structures are very easy to scale up but very tedious to scale down, and you get encouraged to write long pages with different content types, but that makes the entire thing difficult to sort through when you need something specific.
I recommend Sticky Notes instead.
It's like OneNote, but with notes instead of pages, and a heavy emphasis on "let's search through the pile when you need something specific, don't worry about structure".
Overall, it scales better because it has less parts to maintain.

Agreed! I wonder if this telescope can suffer similar focus issues as Hubble?

NASA did finally figure out what caused Hubble's focus issues. The mirror didn't drop to temperature in the way anticipated. JSWT has 18 mirror segments, each of which can be individually focused, specifically to avoid the same issues has Hubble.

Exactly, it's not as though it can be fixed.

[PedantMode] Tsk tsk! The telescope named after him is. The man, I am quite sure, is still buried in Arlington National Cemetery. [/PedantMode]

It's a little known fact* that his soul was embedded in the machine shortly before launch replacing the guidance computer. (This is a regular procedure as souls are lighter than computers and this save significantly on launch mass).

Now, if you had said his sole had been embedded in the machine, I would have thought it a bit fishy, but probably would have accepted it.

I use smarterasp.net webhosting and yesterday my sites became unavailable.
I checked the main site and discovered it wasn't even available. 
After a long while it seemed to come back.
But then today the main site is all strange and my sites still were not working properly.
I sent them a message and they replied that they were being DDoSed. Oy!!!
So, i'm seriously considering switching to another webhosting company (probably winhost.com).
Do Webhosts have an effective way to avoid DDoS attacks?
Is this just considered normal business on the Internet?
Is there just no way to escape this if bad actors decide to attack?
Any network engineers who can explain this better? thanks

Not really. Your website is a sitting target (if your legitimate clients can find you, so can the black hats). A black hat with enough motivation could assemble a DDoS botnet large enough to bring down almost any site.
Assuming that your site is hosted on a commercial server, there is nothing that you can do in mitigation. There are techniques that can be used by the web hosts, but whether they are used depends on the size of their operation, the availability guarantee (e.g. 3 nines or 99.9% is approx. 8.75 hours of downtime a year), etc. Basically, you pays your money and you takes your choice.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I've been with WinHost for a few years now and haven't had any problems with them.

Good to know. I will most likely move.
I had moved to smarterasp.net about 7 years ago (moved from godaddy for similar reasons).
I guess I just keep hopping (and hoping). 
Thanks,

The problem is there was at one time, don't know whether they're still around a company that bought up successful sites and ruined them. I was with a company a long time and this company bought them oput and within 2 months it turned to shi..I bailed!

I wouldn't call a move every seven years "hopping." 
Anyway, unless your sites are extremely critical and you can move them before the attack is over, consider waiting a day or two. If the attack was random, just for the lulz, what are the chance they'll hit this site again? You wouldn't want to move and then it's your new hosts turn to get DDoSed two weeks later!

Not much you can do about this. We've seen DDoS attacks take down huge numbers of web-sites over the past few years. DDoS is the easiest attack to perform but one of the hardest to defend against as it's all about volume on the attacker's side and redundancy on the victim's side.

^ This.
If you have to stay online - you pretty much have to ignore the mom and pop shops--they will go down. Attacks have been measured in Tbps for quite a while now.

If they wanna bomb you out of the net they do, renting botnets is cheap as f and your server / hoster / provider can't basically do anything against it.
