Apologies to anyone who attempted a trackback in the last day. Send failed tbs to me for me to include in a hard-linked roundup this weekend, OK?

Well, I know I shoulda asked Mama Diane*s*, first, but I jumped on a hosting package from [the Unamed Hosting Service] and followed through with specific directions from the friendly doof at Fatcow support (to make sure I did things their way). And the problems began piling up.

*sigh*

I’m back on “temporary” hosting at the “old” hosting account (not mine, a generous gift), and everything is temporarily OK, pending some “Level 2 Techs” at [the Unamed Hosting Service] finding someone competent to fix their server issues. Yeh, I have the emails from “Level 2 Techs” saying the problem IS fixed (though it was not). (And I have the error log showing where they didn’t competently do what they said they had done.) Lesson learned: NEVER switch a domain over until EVERTHING is confirmed to work properly. Silly me. But I did have some fun chewing new orifices for some folks who tried bullshitting me over the phone.

Clouds, silver linings and all that. All grist for a curmudgeon.

Oh, and the inclusion of this post in the “Sex!” category? That was just to see if anyone was paying attention. My sex: male. There. Now it’s a legitimate categorization.
