I think I mentioned a few days ago that GoDaddy had completely screwed up my website. If I didn’t, well…they did. And I, being the go-getter that I am, decided, basically, “To hell with them.”
To that end, I signed up with a new host, and you’re seeing the first tentative steps that I’m taking towards getting everything off of GoDaddy. My new hosts have – wait for it – actual daily backup service. They have integrated WordPress service. They allow subdomains (and if you’re here, you’re on one of them). And they seem to have pretty fast servers. So I’m moving everything here. My blogs. My forums. My sandboxes. Not only that, but I’m pulling in all of my OLD blogs, too. How cool is that? Remember the original “Stuff Nobody Reads”? It’s here. So’s “Frowzy Noise.” And the ever-popular “Lives of Our Days.” With the exception of a few very short startup attempts, everything I’ve ever written in blog format is now under this virtual roof.
I’m sure the historians will thank me, although I still have to bring over some photos that are still on the migration site. If you peruse posts, you’ll see a lot without photos, even though I may reference photos in them.
Today’s featured photo, by the way, is an old picture that I found of Chamberlain.
I’m also moving the football forums here, though that’s going to take quite a bit more effort than this did. I had them set up, briefly, but realized too late that I’d made a few stupid mistakes, so blew away what was there and I’m starting over.
Oh – I accepted that job today. The Level 1 Lead for the X-Company. It’s not a huge step up, but it’ll be an extra $4K a year. That will be helpful for retirement.
