NEVER, EVER trust the lftp “mirror” command to uphold the newest files switch!! My server was hosed with last nights’ backup and we are back on the original server. Consequently we are missing a couple of posts and quite a few comments. The server will have to be re-imaged and I will have to restore everything from backup. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This blog (along with a couple of other services) will be migrated over to a new server over the end of this week and into next. Please bear with me while I put it into place to make sure that this blog is faster and not down as often. During the move, WordPress will be upgraded to the bleeding edge (again) and I will move some of my hacks and modifications into the 1.6 branch of code.

WordPress Fitted Caps: I am dreaming of WordPress fitted caps for $10 plus shipping. Anyone in for a few? (I need at least 4 orders) [EDIT] Now I wonder if Copyright prevents me from ordering those caps.

What in the world is 2o7.net and why is it slowing down my web browsing considerably for the past few weeks?? After doing some research, I find that 2o7.net is actually Omniture and many of the sites that are slow to load are running some kind of web analytics software called SiteCatalyst from Omniture. Now I find that the Omniture nameservers do not want to resolve 2o7.net or 207.net as long as the request comes from the x.x.x.x subnet (my ISPs class B) Grrrrrr. Why would a web company looking to analyze visitors block a whole class B from their DNS servers??
