I'm currently upgrading WordPress(++) and fixing all the little nits that inevitably come up. Right now I'm struggling with some odd devformatter and geshi issues.

It turns out the problem I've been experiencing was a bad plugin "Developer Formatter".  It wasn't playing well with 2.8+ which may be my fault, but for now I'm happy to just turn it off. Of course, now I have to go fix any posts that used it, grumble...grumble...

Sorry folks.  If you came to the site in the last  couple days and found it down, I goofed.  I forgot to update my billing data and the company that hosts my hardware suspended the account.  Eek!

Oh, well, everything is up-to-date again.  Whew!

Now, back to work for me.

It might be a small accomplishment to some, but I'm very happy. I finally got a mailserver up and running on my 'host'. This means, if you've been trying to send me emails and they've gotten rejected, ... no longer. I've tested the forwarding accounts and everything is cool.

Yeah, I just route my mail to alternate accounts, depending on who you send it to. This lets me sort and centralize my e-mails.

Technical Tip:

If you ever decide to use postfix and set up forward, AND if you use gmail, don't do this.

  1. Send test e-mail to account from gmail account.
  2. Set forward on destination account to gmail account you send from in 1.

Why? Well for some reason, if you send an email from gmail and the email address forwards it back to the same (sending) gmail account, the email is dropped. This makes it hard to test forward unless you have an alternate account. Trust me. I banged my head into this problem for hours, thinking I had messed up the install or config. Nope. Just gmail, protecting me from spam. 8-O

Note - If you're still reading. I've got a bunch of exciting and free stuff coming soon. Updates to TSTK as well as an add-on/starter kit for TGB. Keep you eyes open.

If you're seeing this short blog, I've succesfully changed my site host.

If you've been here before and if you have the time, please let me know if the load times are better. They seem to be on my end, but the final answer to that question (the one that counts) should come from my visitors.

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Warning: Expect some rough spots as I work out any remaining issues with the site transfer.
