I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Mostly lurking due to too many deadlines in too short a time, but no problem getting in.

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre

Also lurking, but I haven't had any trouble getting in this morning or last night.

The bestest thing in the world could sometimes be a simple thing like a habit. This morning I logged on to the Phoenix Board, as I'm used to, instead of PF, and before I even remembered it wasn't supposed to work and that I was supposed to get a grey screen with a "Server Unreachable" message, I was in.

And I Yay-ed.

Thanks y'all for the concern and the attempts to fix things. I have no idea what changed, in the university or anywhere else along the way, but I'm certainly happy to be back.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hi all...not having any problems getting in, just not posting much due to extreme tiredness; my body clock has to adjust to being a working stiff!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So it's been a week and I'm wondering...have you guys made a decision yet? I haven't seen anything here but I thought maybe there were some backchannel convos going on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We have no competing proposals other than iStrata, but before we get that far, we need to tidy in preparation.

I may need a word with Steven about exporting the database once we've trimmed it, but otherwise, I can back up and restore in a new place pretty ... well, not quickly, but in a streamlined manner.

I see it something like:

  • choose new host/package (perhaps trivial)
  • archive everything that can be (DX can give time estimate)
  • sign up for new package
  • do a test backup and transfer (one day, weekend preferable)
  • test new system (which, may not be possible, if we haven't transferred the domain name)
  • boot everyone to PF
  • switch DNS entries
  • transfer code/data for real (one day, again weekend)
  • poke a little (one day, tops)
  • bring everyone back
  • thank Kristen & Monique profusely

Can we do this one now, like eating dessert first?
