Ch ch ch changes

Wow spend an evening at the hockey game and a Saturday running errands and stuff and things change so much while you’re gone it’s amazing. Here’s the latest. My hosting company is merging with another company and all of the accounts are being transferred starting tomorrow night! I got an email from my current host advising me to make a backup of the whole site before 5PM Pacific time Sunday. They will start moving folks around and could have some downtime off and on over the next 5 days. So if things get crazy on this site, you know why. 🙂 Hopefully it won’t be too bad, but we’ll see.

In terms of what this means for my current search for new hosting, I’m not sure. I think the conservative thing to do for right now is give this new company a chance to get things working and see how it goes before making another transition. But I’m keeping the information I’ve gathered close at hand, and I’m still open to anymore information you might have. I don’t know who the “other” company is, I think if I can find that out, any information I can gather on them will be factored into the equation as well. For now, keep your fingers crossed that things go smoothly this week and we’ll go from there!

    No seriously, I attended an Internet Security Systems demo/seminar this morning and they gave away t-shirts with big smiley faces and “Security is Happiness” printed under them. They’re pretty silly looking, I’ll try and webcam it tonight so you can see what I’m talking about. The seminar was decent, it’s always humorous when you setup…

    Not only is it the end of the 4 day weekend, it’s also the first of the month. That leaves me with a ton of things to get caught up at work, all while trying to get back in the swing of things. I was most definitely not in the swing of things this morning….

    Blogrolling is down. So that’s why there’s no links over there on the right side of your screen. Also, I’ve decided to stop blogging to the Office Beta blog. It’s served it’s purpose as a place to keep notes and links about Office 2003, but now that I’m using it every day both on my…

    If you work in tech long enough you will, inevitable, come across a fix that leaves you going “Why would anything be designed to do THAT?” Or, as I tell coworkers when I come across one, “I don’t know why it works, I’m not even sure why those two things are related, but it works,…
