Well, we’ve moved

I transitioned the site from a shared hosting server over to a VPS. Due to my failure, a few posts fell through the cracks. I’m working to get a newer backup from the former hosts but it’s not on my priority list.

I still have another wordpress installation to process and I fricking hate them. Plus a few other things I have yet to setup.

Stuff is live, flowing, and doing what websites do. It is fun to see live logs again. I have to fix several bits of code to quash warnings. I’m not going to miss OldPappy. Many thanks to the guys at FirstLink for helping with the setup and actually being humans behind a phone number or email. I owe you beers and perhaps smoked pork.

It’s damn nice to be able to update files without weird oddities and “support” people telling you to use insecure variants.

Some stuff may still be broken. I’ll fix anything I can on a daily basis until I’m confident we’ve made it through the transition.

Moving Day

Today is the great migration. Many of the materials I had hosted over on Gargoyle (aka moosh.net) are being transferred up to the new host. As with all moves, a few items get lost, broken or overlooked. The bulk of the items making the leap are php scripts, which are now running under a different php and web server configuration. So far, most of them migrated without issue. A couple used deprecated methods the new configuration didn’t allow. Those have been adjusted and updated to work properly. The vast majority of the materials have been moved, unpacked, and tested.

Still, some may bits of tape and packing material still attached. Tweaking everything will take time. Should you find something amiss, feel free to let me know.
