Site transition: Successful!
Wednesday, April 23, 2008
I am pleased to inform you that the move from my former web host to my new host, as well as the transition from ASP-driven pages to PHP-driven pages was successful and there was zero downtime. The DNS update was propogated within four hours of the initial update, and thanks to some handy tricks with my .htaccess file, search engine placement and bookmarks should be preserved perfectly.
The only thing that isn't currently working is the contact form, which I'll need to work on a bit. It's been using ASP Formmail for a few years now, so I've got to consider whether or not to use Dreamhost's free cgi Formmail or write my own script. Depends on my laziness level, I suppose.
Either way, if you discover a bug or find a broken link, please let me know via the comments for this post. Thanks!
Quick Picks
- Another big PvE guild has closed it's doors: Forte calls it quits. Death & Taxes, Risen, and now Forte. Bad times for PvE progression guilds...
- Meth lab at kosher meat plant...? I guess that explains why the hotdogs were strangely addictive.
- Nihilum has a really great holy paladin raiding bible that all fresh Paladins should check out. It's very well done!
- Nazi goats.
- The Washington City Paper has announced it's 2008 Best of DC guide. If you're bored in the DC/Metro area and want to go somewhere exciting and new, read this.
- "It would be difficult to identify a President who, facing major international and domestic crises, has failed in both as clearly as President Bush..." It doesn't get any more clear than that.
