This blog is a random collection of information, partly in support of my quotations web site. Other topics include wine, military news, economics, history, libertarianism, and other random things which happen to strike my fancy. Backup site is at http://quotulatiousness.blogspot.com/ (if there are no posts showing, hit the backup blog for explanation). Comments have been turned off, as the spam was getting too much to handle. Comments can be emailed to me for posting.

Potential outages

I've just been reminded by Jon, my virtual landlord, that a server move may be imminent. This will require, at a minimum, moving all files off the current ISP's server and re-installing them on a new ISP's server, then configuring whatever settings that may need to be updated at the new site. This could be as easy as running a simple backup or as complex as starting all over again, and manually re-importing over 3500 individual blog entries plus templates and then rebuilding. Which could drag out over a few days.

Doing system administration for Quotulatiousness isn't Jon's primary job, so I apologize in advance if the site goes dark for an extended period of time. I'll send updates to the members of the Red Ensign Brigade as and when needed. The URL you use to access the blog will probably not need to change.
