road work next 5 miles
Ladies and Gents, boys and girls, children of all ages and yes — you too Tommy…
It’s Sunday Friday evening and I figure a good time to make a server change on Sticks of Fire that we’ve been putting off. The site will be going down for a bit’o'time and perhaps longer if we run into problems. Expect the fun to begin around 9:30 tonight.
If all goes well, however, Sticks will only be offline for a half hour less than an hour or so… But that’s the best-case scenario. I’ll update this message when things have been completed.
UPDATE: OK, due to some technical problems after a second attempt last night, we had to call off the server switch… And then we ran into more problems when we attempted to bring sticksoffire.com back to life. It’s back up now of course but any early morning readers noticed the site was not working right or working at all.
Carry on as you were
UPDATE #2: Yes, instead of adding a new post, I am re-using this one. Just to reiterate what I said above: 9:30 PM Sticks of Fire will be going offline for a bit. Hopefully she’ll be back up and running by 10:30 but no promises.
FINAL UPDATE: Whew… Done. Almost 3 hours of work. Some of you will experience Sticks being down for a bit longer as the serve change is recognized around these Interwebs… But everything should be done and working. Lemme know if you notice any problems

WP upgrade? My last one (2.1.2) was a headache.

No meredith. A total server switch. I can do WP upgrades without a problem but to switch servers entirely — which is the case — requires me to take SOF offline entirely, download the entire database, set up the site on another server and set up the DB there…
Long process that can get frustrating
