Ten days ago most of my websites disappeared from the web.
My internet service provider (ISP), the ironically named DreamHost, was experiencing blackouts and mail delays.
Now Internet Time Blog, Informal Learning Blog, jaycross.com, and related sites have migrated to Bluehost, the top recommendation from a cry for help on Twitter. Actually, my cyber-savvy sysop son made the move. Transferring ten years of accumulated posts on five blogs and six MySQL databases is beyond my abilities.
Please forgive any weirdness from here in the next few days. Feedblitz has sent out a few spams from the transition (sorry).
Tell me when you find broken links and 404s; I’m sure they’re out there.
Thanks for your patience and assistance.
The geeks among you may be interested in a few of the latest status messages from DreamHost.

DreamHost Network is down.
Posted (October 12th, 2009 at 10:47 pm PST) by Sandon
It looks like our core router lost its BGP session which took down our entire network (as far as we can tell). We have our network administrator heading to the data center now and should be there in 20 minutes or so. More updates to come. This is affecting all DreamHost services.

Unfortunately, we’re experiencing some networking issues that are affecting our web (including PS) and mysql servers. If your site is suddenly not loading or can’t connect to the database, it’s most likely related. We’re looking into this and will be posting updates as soon as available. Sorry about the inconvenience!
