technical difficulties
*ARGH* So, my domain host is attempting to upgrade. Excellent, wonderful news. It means (I hope) that they are stable and not about to disappear on me like my last business partner. Who, by the way, allowed my original, my very first domain name to expire, along with my parents' business site domain.
That means, yup, a domain I've had since before the millenium and the one they owned since 2003 are now search engine sites. No, we're not paying $500 or whatever they're asking to get the domains back. Actually, this was a rather traumatic discovery for me, which is why I haven't been able to write about it before. Goodbye my personal domain. May you search in peace.
Right, back to my host upgrade. It now looks like half of my sites are on one server and half are on the other. My parents' new business site is giving database errors because the db is not there... on the new server. But my new personal wiki is still kicking even though its database is also not on the new server.
So now I'm nervous about making any more updates to the wiki, because they may not get transferred. I've made local backups of every database on the old server, but that means no more updates until the move is done. And even though I can see both servers, I cannot access the new one to manually recreate the databases.
I'm going nuts. All I want to do is keep working on the code I'm developing for a new Warcraft UI mod. But I'm trying desperately to keep records of how I learn what in an effort to provide basic training for others. The documentation out there seems to jump from the "hello world" level to "integrate this library" with no in betweens.
