Wednesday, August 27, 2003 The pains of a breakup So, I cut my last ties with Toadnet yesterday, removing my last domains from hosting there.  So far, it hasn't been pretty; they deleted my email accounts there while DNS was still mapped to them, so most of my inbound e-mail is bouncing.  The DNS change seems to have only partially rolled out so far, so I'm still in the dead zone; I'm sure everybody on the mailing lists I was subbed to are just loving me right now.  I had been hoping to keep things set up there until the transition was complete--I had paid them for service through September 22, after all--but now I've just shut the whole shebang down completely. On the bright side, my spam has decreased drastically. Meanwhile, I've had to do some cleaning up of the website heirarchy on my remaining web host,  Powweb.   Since  I now essentially have  five domains pointed at the same server, I had to reproduce the PHP magic I'd used on Toadnet to host multiple domains with their own directory structures.  That meant moving the buzzword-compliant weblog to a new directory and recoding the root home page; I preserved a copy of the archived pages of the weblog in their original place in the heirarchy so that permalinks would still work (as if anybody's actually permalinked to that content); I'll probably deprecate that configuration in a month or two when I decide I need the disk space for something else. 1:12:54 PM    comment[ so far] © Copyright 2003 Sean Gallagher .
