Brief blog outage

Apologies to all who may have visited this blog over the past couple of days to find sweet bloody nothing in its place, or cryptic placeholder messages on the screen, or a website in various stages of digital undress. What began as a planned server migration in response to downtime issues turned into a full-blown immigration away from one webhost and to another. Waveflux has moved to the good offices of Steadfast Networks, and any bloggus interruptus was my own clumsy fault as I stumbled my way through various issues involved in the changeover. As you can see (I trust), however, all is once more right with the weblog. In the words of a noted philosopher: complications arose, ensued, were overcome.

Note to Blogger Nation: If you don’t have a consistent backup policy, thou art foredoomed. That bloggerly virtue is the reason I am able to speak to you - a bit smugly, to be sure - today.

I’ll expound a bit on the recent issues here and their denoument in an upcoming post. In the meanwhile, it’s nice to be back. I assume I haven’t missed much.
