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.

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!

(so didn't see the L in clock)

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.

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?

The more profusion, the better.

Life is uncertain: eat dessert first!

And yes, thank Kristen and Monique hugely.
