A little down-time while I move servers...

Posted June 30, 2005 11:44 AM.

In case you're wondering why the comments functionality has been turned off and why I've got a little quiet, I'm currently orchestrating a switch to a new dedicated server for Barbelith and plasticbag.org and I want to make sure that none of the databases will lose any information during the switch. As you can probably tell from the degraded code at the bottom of each entry page, I clearly never tested with comments turned off and there are a few bugs there which I apologise for. There are likely to be a few things more or less savagely broken after the transition as I try and turn everything back on, so please bear with me. It should mean a fully functioning Barbelith in less than twelve hours, although I'm not going to promise anything right now. (Oh and an enormous vote of thanks to all the people who sent in donations towards getting this server transition happening - it's been an enormous help.)

Please stay on-topic, informative and polite. I reserve the right to remove comments for whatever vague capricious reasons seem reasonable at the time.
