Hold on to your socks folks, unholymess.com is moving! For years and years (ok since 2002), unholymess.com has resided on a server in my closet/office/room of pain. This has always meant that I needed to keep decent hardware around for emergencies, manage updates and security maintanence, and make sure the internet connection was suitable. This is generally no problem, but when it comes time to move…well it gets to be a royal PITA. At the suggestion of one of my former co-workers, I’m going to migrate all of the items over to Dreamhost - mail, diary, gallery, etc. Email will be the last to go as I have to manually siphon the data out of the existing server and plow into the new one. If you get a bogus unholymess.com web presence for a few days,…well you won’t be reading this and will just have to suck it up.
Happy Trails….

seems to me that i posted a reply to this already. you lost my post!? but that post ment something to me! lol
i used to run all my stuff out of my house. then i dumped DSL and went cable modem and moved everything to work. it’s more fun having your own servers, but most of the time it’s a PITA.

The beauties of mysql backups and restore — I nuked the whole ‘new’ database with the old content, hence the old post & comments (as insightful as they were…) are gone. To the great big bit bucket in the sky!
BTW — fwiw: Dreamhost rocks. IMAP, ssh access, linux servers and a management interface that is SUPER easy to use. It was so worth the 6 odd bucks a month. Heck, my static IP costs me that on the DSL line.
