Admin: Notice of Pending Site Move

[deirdre]

If you see this, I haven’t moved yet (unless it’s edited to show I’ve moved).

The why is more complicated. There was over a month of outage on this web site earlier this year after TextDrive never migrated me from a Joyent server. I was traveling and busy and didn’t get to it right away, but I had to ask for more than I should have.

All you need to do is look through this forum of mostly unhappy people to see why it’s time to pack up and move.

TextDrive meant the world to me in 2005. I met one of my most awesome friends there (shout out to Nate), and I’ll always remember the good times. In fact, the picture of myself I most frequently use as an avatar was taken by Nate at a TextDrive gathering in September 2005. I was scolding Nate for wanting to go out and have a smoke. (He has since given up smoking.)

Anyhow, I wish all the folks there the best, as always.

I’ve moved six of my eight domains already, and have only this one and Ryan Johnson’s fan site left to move.

P.S.: if you let a blitzed person, even one from TextDrive, take your photo, they might think you’re in focus when you’re not….
