Santa's Bringing New Servers

By QBlog in

Yippee! This site, and a few others, are moving to new servers on Thursday. The new servers are bigger, faster, stronger, smarter and sexier. Hooray!

Ok, let's play "Good News/Bad News."

Good News: The new servers will be more secure and more reliable (we hope) and will be better able to handle the amount of traffic this site now receives.

Bad News: This site will be down for a while from Dec. 30-31. Sorry but it has to happen.

And thanks to all of you who notified me about the Forum errors today. The Forum was not hacked, it was just experiencing some connection errors which will hopefully receive a permanent remedy with the server move.

Lastly, I am continuing to make adjustments and improvements to this site to better serve you. A few things to look forward to in 2005:

  • New Blog design. They creepy eyes will probably be back in some form and integrated into the new design.
  • Forum enhancements. I'll be updating the Forum with new tools to make it even more dynamic (whatever that means).
  • More Blog enhancements. With the recent upgrade to MT 3.14 I can now integrate some additional features... like... uh... cool stuff. Trust me, you'll love it.

Ok, the point is that I'm working tirelessly to make this site so much better than it is now. A lot of stuff is behind the scenes but trust me, it's good.

Anyway, I guess I just spent an entire blog post talking about blog maintenance which doesn't make for a very interesting blog. I know I'd avoid blogs with strings of entries reading, "Today I added a new comment feature" and "Last night I found a new way to use trackbacks." So, enough with the maintenance crap, just know that tomorrow (Thursday) this site may not be here. Why? Boy your reading comprehension skills are crap.

Thanks QB for this site and all you are doing to keep it up and running smoothly. It has been truly great to come here and debate things with others. I imagine it can be time consuming (sp?) to keep it going and I appreciate that you do!!

peace...
