Moving day: so, XO, our service provider of almost 5 years, are being such idots that I will be moving gulker.com much sooner than planned. As a result, the Herald Examiner message board and comments server will be down until I figure out technologies that will run on the new, hosted service.

BTW. if you own XO stock, dump it. They're hopeless, with clueless, unempowered customer service people. These guys are unlikely to survive... expensive service that's bad...

Congress to criminalize P2P: Senators introduce legislation to impose jail time for sharing as little as one file, while the House may consider a bill lowering the bar for taking people to court. Entertainment lobbyists appear to be winning their war against peer-to-peer networks. By Xeni Jardin in Wired News...

gulker.com will be moving servers sometime in the next couple of days: there will likely be some DNS weirdness as we go from our 144K IDSL line to a managed hosting facility. We'll leave both sites up until the DNS changes propagate.

Main advantages should be much better response times: www.gulker.com is slow for people using broadband connections (like our new 3 mbps Comcast ADSL line), and our vendor, XO, won't match SBC and other competitors' rates (XO charges $150 month/ SBC wants $54).

I'd be happy to give SBC a try (especially for $100/month savings), but we'd still be on a slow link - we're just too far from the switch to get fast DSL service. I'd like to use more pictures and multimedia in the future, so we're going to try hosting www.gulker.com and related domains on an Xserve on a fast network at Server Logistics. Still not sure how I'll migrate the comments server...
