It's A Long Story

And telling it would involve some very not nice words that should not be uttered by someone who frequently criticizes the poor language choices of others.

In short, during the process of changing web hosts (to avoid such occasions as tacky "account suspended" pages), my site was held hostage. FOR NEARLY TWO WEEKS. Ambra was not happy. I shall however, release my pent up wrath by commenting on all the events I missed.

I have a new fabulous host (Plug: Living Dot) run by people who act like they have jobs to keep, and this shall not happen again. But if it does (and it had better not), go to ambranykol.com for updates.

Thanks for sticking around.

warning: the following is hacker speak and may not be understood by all readers. Use discretion.

Suggestion:
Your domain registrar can be different from your web host. If you have problems with your host again. You can have your registrar point to your new host's DNS and voile. Site is back up and you can sever ties with the old host. This of course presumes you do regular backups of your site.
