Okay, we’re back at last. There’s still a few things to sort out due to encoding issues that resulted from the database crossover–there may be stray ???s here and there for a while–but I’ll attend to those as I go along. I’ve never tried moving a database from one server to another before so I’m surprised it went as well as it did.

My apologies again to people who visited during the past week only to find a holding page. The final result of all the grief is that I’m now paying less for more and (I hope) a better service. I haven’t had a chance to fully test things yet but I think the new server is also faster than the older one, so that’s good for everybody.

Comments glitch

I’m holding off posting anything substantial until a fault is addressed by my webhost. The comments database appears to have become corrupted so for now there are no comments showing at the end of each post despite the comments numbers after the categories list. I have everything backed up, however, so nothing should be lost; watch this space.

Update: Everything back to normal.

I’m out of town for a few days so the archives plug-in has been enabled to throw up some previous postings at random.

Defend Dave Reeves!

From the latest Arthur email bulletin:

DON’T FREAK OUT BUT…
Something stupid happened to Arthur magazine “Do the Math” columnist/motorcyclist/writer/ “Defend Brooklyn” creator Dave Reeves late last year in Burbank and now he’s being tickled by the Burbank D.A. for fines, probation and even a jailing on some bogus-on-their-face criminal charges. Call it weird, call it harassment-by-cop, call it Kafkatime: whatever name you hang on this cruel mess, it is expensive and is requiring legal services at a level far above Dave’s means. He’s in a jam now and he needs—and deserves—our support during this nightmare. Help our brother out. Defend Dave Reeves like he’s defended you—order something off his website www.defendbrooklyn.com
Thanks.

Dave writes great columns for Arthur; give him some love if you can.
