Weblog Has Moved

Filed under: Uncategorized. Tags: ,

I’ve been thinking about that whole “internet permanence” thing, and decided to put my money where my mouth is. I’ve moved a copy of this weblog to my new online home at darcynorman.net.

This new home should be as close to a permanent spot on the internet as I’ll have.

No, I’m not leaving the Learning Commons. No, I don’t have any plans to do so. It just makes sense for me to take responsibility for the resource that basically makes up my online identity, rather than tying it to any particular institution or organization.

If you’re seeing this, then all has gone well and smoothly. It happens occasionally… Everything should just redirect automagically, without having to do anything, but you might want to eventually update links (sometime before Heat Death of the Universe)…

Thanks to Rosemary Sanchez for giving me the kick in the butt to actually do this.

UPDATE: There’s a bugfeature in the WordPress wp-login.php file that attempts to “fix” things if it detects a move of the site (like, say, when moving from one server to another), that basically borked “siteurl” setting to “http:” rather than “http://www.darcynorman.net” whenever I logged into the admin interface. The fix is here.

    Hey D’Arcy! Congrats on transferring smoothly to your new domain! :)

  2. Yeah. It was pretty darned easy to get set up. Hardest part was filtering out the billion or so upsale offers from GoDaddy. But the DNS was live almost instantly, and I’ve got tons of room and bandwidth on a linux box for about $5/month CDN. If I ever need more than 500MB of disk space, or 25GB of bandwidth per month, I can upgrade pretty cheaply, too.
