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!

  • Low-key OneNote?

    I was just reading through one of the tech newsletters we get from ASAE today, and I noticed this tidbit: “Microsoft has quietly released a program that seems to have escaped much mainstream interest. Called OneNote, this intriguing software gives you a flexible place to save and catalog unstructured information. And, once it is saved,…

  • Geek gift.

    The one actual geek gift I got for my birthday this year, much to my surprise, (because my parents usually steer clear of buying tech stuff) was a wireless/CF card for my Axim. They picked up the Ambicom WL1100C-CF. Installing it was pretty easy, it found my AP right away and after a little configuration,…

  • IT stress

    An IT director’s lot is not a happy one. No suprise here really, network security and virus threats keep all of us on our toes, and if you’re unlucky enough to be the place where the buck stops when it comes to being responsible for this stuff, it’s a pretty stressful situation. On the other…

    I’m pretty much blowing off all PC related projects this weekend. One, because last week at work was very stressful, trying to fit 5 days of work into 4 days of the week, and two, because it’s finally nice outside! We spent most of yesterday at my parent’s house, and I think we’ll be spending…
