Or, to quote another cartoon character, “I’ve had all I can stands. I can’t stands no more!”It’s true how momentous changes are quite often brought about by little things. In this case it was the letter “I”. This morning I wanted to add the letter “I” to the latest update about my new computer. I’d noticed it was missing and I wanted to log back into my blog and correct it; but I could not get the page to load. I kept trying and trying for close to thirty minutes. My SFG page has been very slow — embarrasingly slow — for quite a while; and there seemed little I could do to alleviate that. And, this morning, I finally had enough. I spent the afternoon shopping for a new host and I signed up with a new host in the evening. I’ll spend the next few days rebuilding the site here (on this new server) and then will transfer the DNS information later on (presumably when my current three-month contract expires).
Normally it should be easy to move the MySQL database over. But I’m so anal retentive that I have to do things the hard way. Having removed all my movie reviews, the numbering on my blog entries is all off, with many gaps. For instance, the entries number in the seven hundreds, while this blog really only has around four hundred. So I plan on recreating all the blog’s posts, in sequential order, just for my own personal satisfaction. This should also allow me a chance to proofread the entries again — and will also explain why all the comments will have the same date [June 4 and 5, in fact].
Funny how I just went through all the entries, assigning categories to them. And now I’m going to be going through them all over again.
Oh well.
