I’m gonna switch…

I apologize to anyone who’s been trying to access my site the past four or five days. AffordableHost, the company that owns the servers on which I have my site located is having troubles. Their servers are going up and down faster than a kid with a sugar rush on a pogo stick. As soon as I get time, probably tomorrow or Thursday, I’m going to switch to a different host – most likely AxisHost. I can’t say I like the name, but I do trust the people there. (From what I understand, AffordableHost was bought out a year or so ago, and some of the fine people who founded AffordableHost in the first place moved to AxisHost. I could be wrong. I do know that AffordableHost has been getting worse and worse ever since the new owners took control – service has been spotty and technical support is nearly nonexistent other than the occasional poorly-worded mass e-mail.)

Not only has my blog been wiggin’ out, but my entire “radloffs.net” site has been crashing with alarming regularity since Friday. I can’t get any good answers from the server people, which is irritating, and I just found out that if you go to the Smokin’ Clams website you end up on the radloffs.net site. That’s GOTTA be fixed soon! That could affect the Clams’ business, and I don’t want that. My e-mail doesn’t work, either.

As I said, I’m a-gonna switch companies as soon as I have time to figure out all the intricacies of such a move. I’ve never done it before, and, to be honest, the thought scares me a bit.

Again, apologies for the hassle, and I hope to take care of it soon.

Since I’ve quit the Smokin’ Clams (a fine band indeed – they just didn’t want to play as often as I do) I’ve been happily catching up on my other hobbies (eating popcorn and watching TV). So I was very happy when I got a message from an old bandmate of mine from a pre-Clam band I was in. “Hey,” he said. “I was wondering if maybe we could get Hippie Go Lucky back together again to do a set at a street dance this summer…” Yay! We’re gonna have a few rehearsals between now and July, polish some of the old stuff up a bit, and generally have fun! First rehearsal is tonight, and I’m really looking forward to it!
