It’s been a good run, but Google is shutting me down. Well, not me in particular, but they are dropping their support for blogs like mine that they don’t host on their servers. I’d like to complain about this, but the reality of free web based services is that sometimes you get what you pay for. Still, I’ve been powering this blog with Google since 2003. In all that time, I haven’t paid them a dime or even allowed them to put advertising on my site. I’ve certainly gotten my money’s worth.

Over this weekend I will be attempting to migrate the blogging platform to my own servers. I’ve been toying with this idea for awhile now, so maybe it’s good that Google finally kicked me into gear. I’m optimistic that I can recreate the blog pretty much as it is, but my actual mileage may vary once I get out on the road.

So please bear with me. There likely wont be any new posts for a day or two (or more if things go badly). And you might find the blog down or links broken until I get things running smoothly again.

I’ll see you on the other side!
