Comments are temporarily disabled while I do some site maintenance.

Co-bloggers are urged to not contribute new material right now because it might get deleted.

Update: Back up for now.

Because of some problems I’d been having where the image handling library would crash part of the MovableType back end, I had asked my hosting service to migrate Windypundit to a different server with all-new software.

I did a backup on Thursday night, and then they scheduled the move for Friday night. I asked them to notify me when they started and ended the move, but they misinterpreted my request and thought I had asked them to coordinate with me before they started. When I didn’t answer their midnight email, they didn’t do the move.

We’ve rescheduled for tonight, but I don’t want to have comments and posting down another day, so I’ve reenabled them. If the move doesn’t go smoothly and I have to restore from backup, I’ll lose some work. Similarly, if someone leaves a comment during the move, it could get lost.
