You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

OK. I really hate to say this, but:

Since we won't be hosting Buffistas.org for much longer, and you're all eyeing another Web host pretty strongly, we're going to make arrangements to downgrade back to a resellers account, from a semidedicated account. I'm sure you understand that, being a fledgling business, we have to watch every last penny.

What does this mean to you? We won't have the same amount of Web space, bandwidth and MySQL connections. If you are still going to be here past Nov. 30, this will most likely bring about the return of the dreaded error messages and possibly not being able to reach the board at all.

So I guess what I'm saying is, do you think you'll be moving by the end of the month? If we could know by Friday, that would be quite helpful to us in determining our future business plans.

Again, thank you for giving our services a chance, and I'm sorry we weren't able to meet the Buffistas' needs.

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

I think the end of the month should be a target.

Let's assemble tasks:

  • Question iStrata (I have some about provided software -- are there others?) [ita]
  • Archiving (underway -- we need to decide how many of the closed threads should be archived) [DX]
  • Signing up [Jesse]
  • Configuring [techies - ita/TomS?]
  • Move buffistas.net DNS to point to iStrata [Jesse]
  • Test migration to buffistas.net on iStrata [ita, w/Steven's help]
  • Test banging on buffistas.net [team of volunteers]
  • shut down b.org
  • Migrate code and data to iStrata[ita]
  • Move buffistas.org DNS to iStrata [Jesse]
  • Go live

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The main question I have about the provided software is whether or not we have to use it to manage the system. The web page wasn't very clear on that.

Did you not like what you see? Me, I'm in favour of web administration, because I can only use HTTP ports from work. Did you have a web alternative, or were you wanting a command line?

I'd like to know if they provide an offering akin to what you get with a standard account, including webmail, phpMyAdmin, mailing lists, etc.

I've been getting sporadic "cannot connect to remote server" messages in Opera this morning.

Which I'm getting again right now.

Nobody

I just got this error message:

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?

This was after trying to submit a post, then not having it go through (but I got a "server not found" error on that one, and I've been having interent connectivity issues all day).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Same thing here.

were you wanting a command line?

I didn't see anything that indicated that a command line was an option. A web interface is OK, but I need a command line if I am going to run the kind of performance testing I had planned.
