Afterthought

Feed The Gamer’s move was a success.
Now I can stop worrying, and rather relax and move everything else over all in good time. There’s no rush.

The Norvard WebMedia website will be transferred soon, as well as Ca9ine.com and a few other sites I’ve built and still maintain.

Speaking of Ca9ine.com, it looks like I can really get used to this Tumblr thing.
I’ve made the blog my own, and I think I’m all done with the design. I’ll probably end up with a “Latest Tweet” thing on it, though. I can never seem to settle without one of those on any personal site I build.

The customizing is still a bitch, though. I haven’t gotten used to that yet, and I’m not sure I ever will. I really hope the Tumblr guys can develop some kind of dashboard editor, or at least give us an option to open an editor in a new window or something, because the tiny sidebar thing that pops out just won’t do!

Oh! And Tumblr, I want empty paragraphs! Or at least double linebreaks!
Stop removing them from the HTML as I write!

That is all.

The Waiting Game

I’ve decided to move all the Norvard WebMedia web assets to a new host.

Feed The Gamer has outgrown the current host, and the site is getting slower and slower, which is very bad as the reader base is getting bigger and bigger.
The current host just can’t handle the traffic. So it was time to move on.

Now the waiting game starts.
Everything has been moved, but we still need to wait for the domain transfer, and the nameserver changes. This is killing me!
I’m trying as best I can to plan ahead, to have as little downtime as possible, but I fear Feed The Gamer’s constant aggregation and updates will be impacted for at least a full day, if not several days.

On top of all this, the database, which is of a conciderable size, may be a bit of a hassle to transfer.

Wish me luck.
