Then the move to DreamHost was successful. Some things probably won't function correctly for a while- like the KGB Quote-A-Matic and KGB Quote Search- but I hope to have them up and running soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Déjà vu all over again

The website went down this morning at 6 a.m. After 80 minutes on hold, the support person for XO Communications/Concentric, my hosting provider, said ""It's part of our DNS outage. I can't give you a time when it will be back up, but it should be soon."

That was at 11:20 am. I'm writing this at 11:51 am, and it's still down, and there's still nothing on their website or social media, aside from their response to my post on their Facebook page.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Again. I've been a Concentric customer since 1998, but I think it's time to move on...

Update: It appears the site came back up around 1 pm.

Whatever. I am now in the process of moving to DreamHost. Things may be a bit flaky for a day or two. Sorry for the inconvenience.

A critic is a necessary evil, and criticism is an evil necessity.

Of two evils choose the prettier.

A blunder at the right moment is better than cleverness at the wrong time.

A cynic is a man who looks at the world with a monocle in his mind's eye.

Happiness is the ability to recognize it.

One never knows what difference anything will make until the difference is made.

A guilty conscience is the mother of invention.

Every dogma must have its day.

A good scapegoat is hard to find.

Youth is a silly, vapid state,
Old age with fears and ills is rife;
This simple boon I beg of Fate-
A thousand years of Middle Life.

A fool and his money are soon married.
