Having had some problems with my previous web host, in particular with how their email servers didn’t meet my needs, I’ve migrated to a new host. The upside is a chance to clean up some behind-the-scenes things that needed fixed/cleaned/adjusted. The downside is I didn’t come up with a reliable method of migrating before I made the move. Sooooo, I just manually copied each post into a Word document, and I’m restoring posts one at a time – in other words, possibly the worst way possible short of starting clean with no old posts.
I am not recovering the original post dates for all of my previous content, however, so if you happen to see these shortly after they are posted, know that anything which seems like it would be time-/date-sensitive will probably be expired. But going forward from here, I should post such things closer to when they will be meaningful. Where I can, I’m restoring categories, and I’m certainly trying to still have functional links in place. Over the next few days (it is currently Friday, 2024-10-11), I’ll restore all the content to the best of my capability. Then, I swear, I’m going to work on that VMWare or VirtualBox install and use guide I’ve made at least a couple of times over the sparse history of the site.
