Without Feathers just moved to a new server. The Export/Import function that I used appeared to work very smoothly — except that it doesn’t seem to have brought over all of my existing user accounts. I’ve made a couple of attempts to recover those accounts, but it’s just not working.
Please just create a new one.
Sorry about that.
I just realized exactly how self-indulgement my previous post (You Are Your Aesthetic) was. My appologies to anyone who actually read it. And my advice to anyone visiting this blog is to skip that post. My next post should be at least a little more interesting.
I’ve checked my connections: I’m getting to my router at top speed, my router is getting to my cable modem at top speed, but everything after that is just brutally slow. Pinging my providers name servers can take up to 700ms!
UPDATE: OK, I just found something about Earthlink (my provider) speed problems “north of Atlanta.” I’m pretty sure that NYC is north of Atlanta, so that probably includes me.
Darnit! I needed the internet today to do some research.
UPDATE: Well, it looks like things are back to normal, but now I’m too drunk to do anything productive.
UPDATE: Service problems again this morning (Sunday, October 26). The problem has been with nameservers, but I don’t know at what level. I was able to ping and even connect to websites by IP address (the few that I knew off hand) but no luck if I tried to address them by name.
One kind of interesting outcome of this: I haven’t received a single piece of spam since Friday. That’s unprecedented. I know my mail is working OK and I have a good connection to the internet because my servers report in every morning from an undisclosed site in Florida. They’re all running fine, talking to each other, and dispatching email messages to me according to schedule.
Did anyone else have any problems with internet service this weekend?
Testing, 1, 2, 3… Testing, 1, 2, 3 — Is this thing on?

Hellooo…Hellooo…can you all hear me?
OK, good…let’s get started then.
