BP's Weblog

It's taken a little longer than expected, but the server move is in progress.... I partially torched the destination server. I managed to repair it satisfactorily, so, I now plan to do a downtime Monday morning to switch over the last bits of data and control. What this means is:

Please don't make any active changes to your content after about 6am Monday morning, until I post that things are switched over. Changes made during this time might be lost

In the meantime, if you'd prefer to fix things in a non-last-minute way, please check if you see what you expect/your tools work as you think they should by connecting to your normal address, but :81. Ie, http://movabletypo.net:81/whatever (including playing with the posting tools). Data in the database and on disk for the :81 space will be overwritten with current data on Monday morning, so, if you want to test posting/rebuild/commenting and whatever, feel free, it should just all end up cleaned up in the end.

Some things will still take a while to shake out after the switch has finally been thrown. Statistics and logs won't be taken care of until after everything else, probably not until late next week.

UPDATE: The move is done, the switches have been thrown. If you notice anything is acting weird (and, please check!) let me know. In particular, movabletypo folks: please do a rebuild of your site, and check each type of page to make sure that it is correctly built/displayed.
