update troubles at AKOTAS

[scarfman]

Something's wrong with AKOTAS's hosting account. My FTP program's been reporting "login failure" As I was composing this entry, the phone tech support rep came on the phone after half an hour hold. The reason I can't connect to my hosting server is because my account is being switched over to a new server. This transition has been going on for the company's customers for months, and it's my turn now, but I wish they'd notified me before my turn rolled around that I wouldn't be able to update for twenty-four to forty-eight hours.

The site's still online, including tomorrow's page, unindexed

Now not even that's true.

Well, apparently the site's availability is intermittent.

In any case I can still upload to the in-progress mirror site so Daily Grind status isn't to worry about. But it's an imperial pain.

Eh, which web host are you with?

IPower. I've been with them for the whole of AKOTAS and on the whole they're quite satisfactory. Problems are actually pretty rare and the biggest obstacle in fixing them is the hold time at customer service.

Ah, we used to host a Teaspoon and an Open Mind with them. Tech support was abominable, which was one of the reasons we moved.
