                               Pardon the dust

The former hosting company, the one where I'm employed as a consultant (you
know, the company whose servers kept [1] getting [2] hacked [3]) is currently
in flux [4].

On top of that, a few months ago one of the servers died a horrible death,
and that meant having to use the backup server (which does the backups) as a
production server. I disabled all logins to that server, since it has
unrestricted access to the other servers (well, server, and it's the other
server that hosted my websites) but R said that the gambling company wanted
login access to begin the process of site migration.

Not wanting my sites at the mercy of such unrestricted access, I felt it
prudent to find alternative hosting pretty darn quick.

Like, oh … today.

Smirk was kind enough to give me hosting space, and in less than five minutes
I had my own virtual server to play with.

Neat.

It's been many hours, but all but one of my sites has been moved (The
Electric King James Bible [5] is proving to be a bit difficult to move, owing
to the custom Apache 1.3 module that drives it, whereas the new server is
running Apache 2.0—some porting is now required).

Now it's [DELETED-Miller-DELETED] DiceWars [6] time.
