“Alas, a Blog” is moving to a new server

Posted by Ampersand | February 27th, 2004

“Alas” is moving to a new server. So for a few days, you’ll find Alas here - at amptoons.poliblog.com/blog/ - rather than at the usual address.

This will only take a few days, after which the www.amptoons.com/blog/ address will be working again. Thanks for your patience, folks.

Hey, and while I’m thanking people - a big thanks and a big sloppy kiss (MWAH!) goes to Jenn Manley Lee, who has been kind enough to host amptoons for the past year or two. Thanks, Jenn!

And a big thanks (minus the sloppy kiss, since I don’t know him as well as I know Jenn) to Eric Brunner-Williams (probably best known to blog readers as Mary Beth Williams’ hubby) for being the new host for amptoons.com. Thanks, Eric!

    (End of singing)


  2. Ampersand Writes:

    Well, the first test went pretty well, so I’ll try a second one.


  3. Ampersand Writes:

    Hmmn. Funny, it’s not emailing the comments to me since I installed MT-Blacklist. Test, test.


  4. dch Writes:

    Check one. Check two.


  5. Ampersand Writes:

    And yet another test.


  6. Ampersand Writes:

    Waht is this, the fifth test? Anyhow, this is the test I did after re-installing mt-blacklist.


  7. Ampersand Writes:

    Adn this is the test after I reinstalled MT-BL and remembered to CHMOD the files to the correct setting.


  8. Ampersand Writes:

    Okay, now I’m trying again after having deleted all the mt-blacklist stuff. Why am I not receiving these comments via email?


  9. PinkDreamPoppies Writes:

    I’m not getting comments via e-mail, either, Amp.


  10. Ampersand Writes:

    Hmmn… okay, I officially pronounce myself bewildered.


  11. Ampersand Writes:

    PDP, have you edited your user profile in MT and added your email address?


  12. Ampersand Writes:

    Okay, now I’ve received a couple of emails - but I don’t know why. I think that comcast.net, my ISP, may be screwing up, but if PDP isn’t recieving email either than I don’t know what’s up. So I’ve reinstalled MT-blacklist and we’ll see what happens.


  13. PinkDreamPoppies Writes:

    I’ve edited my profile. I’m just waiting for someone to comment on a post I’ve written. ;)

    Could it be that you’re simply not getting e-mail for posts that you yourself write? That happened to me for awhile over at jennworks, but I don’t fathom the mysteries of Moveable Type enough to tell you why.


  14. PinkDreamPoppies Writes:

    Okay, I’m getting mail now.

    Do you think if I sacrifice something to MT it will impart on me its divine secrets?

    More boring ahead
    Now that Barry and company have begun their move, I can start my own overhaul and relocation for Jennworks in…
