Whoa, I’m all woozy after finally pulling my head out the gaping buttinkos of my finicky and power hungry blog. I just spent the last 3 days hunting down every bug and problem that popped up during my migration to a new VPS hosting service, and it seemed like wave after wave of issues would keep coming at me. First my photo gallery wouldn’t work, then it worked but wouldn’t let me log in. Then I try to upload files at the same exact moment that my cable modem decided to act like a dialup modem. Then my plugins would bomb out, then I’d get connection timeouts, then I’d suddenly get a brownout at my apartment that shuts down my computer and erases all the troubleshooting I’ve been doing. The whole weekend was just a blur of logging into the server, logging on to my blog, logging in here and logging in there, enabling this, disabling that, then enabling this and that only to find that it disabled something else that I really needed, so I have to go back and disable them again so it reenables a setting I needed more, and then I need to test it all by deleting my browser cache, flushing my cookies and refreshing the page, then refreshing it again. And again.
Can I DIE now???
Lord am I glad that’s over. I hope. I’m gonna go take a nice hot shower now, and after that I’m going full on hobo with pizza, Cape Cod chips and Coke Zero. If anyone needs me I’ll be in my captain’s chair watching the latest DVDs from Netflix.

Well, it loaded much faster and, so far, has not caused my computer to crash like it did the first 2 times I visited your site.
Wow, it actually crashed for you before? It might have been the ads (Circuit City had some crazy ads that went nuts for a few days.)
I’m glad it’s faster, as I still haven’t finished optimizing it, so once that’s done it should be even more nice and zippy. :-D
Your RSS feed isn’t working, I don’t think. This post never showed up. I was worried and came over to see if you were okay and saw this post.
Showed up fine in my Google Reader and in Facebook, but not in Bloglines. The server’s been up and down along the way so it probably got borked for bit. I pinged Feedburner just to be sure though. Let me know if you’re still having problems. :)
Isn’t technology wonderful?
Well, when I checked this morning it showed up. Maybe it was just very delayed. Whew!
Whew is right.
I think I can finally move on now. Just in time for the Antichrist to take over too! :-D
Now all we need is for the UN to decide that they need to move their headquarters to Babylon and get folks to rebuild it for them. Cue Rod Serling/Twilight Zone music.
Here’s hoping a fireball from heaven takes out the UN instead. ;)
