DevBlog

Wow! Has it really been over three weeks since I last posted? You may have thought that I dropped off the blogosphere. Not so. I've just been very busy. Part of this is due to moving to a new hosting service. GoDaddy.com was too flaky. They would make random changes to their servers without notifying me. Things would just stop working. If I called for tech support, everything had to be escalated to "development", a term for "we'll get back to you in about three days". After several years, I finally grew tired of all the bulls**t they were giving me, so I've moved to a new host.

I'm now on Brinkster.net. I've heard REALLY good things about these guys and had actually considered moving several times in the past, but they didn't have hosting and support policies that were attractive to me. That recently changed, so here I am, and so far, so good. I even got a notice from them last week (before the switch was made) that said they would be doing server upgrades and I could expect an outage of a couple of hours. GoDaddy would have just done the upgrade and my site would be down. More often than not, things wouldn't have worked when it came back. I'll report on other things as I grow accustomed to the new home. Now to fix the pages that GoDaddy broke (ie: they screwed up the FrontPage extensions).
