I was attempting to upgrade some unrelated packages on my FreeBSD server, with the net result that something truly horrible happened (and which I don’t really understand): apache2 and mysql were essentially deleted from my system. Curse you portupgrade. I’m becoming less enamoured with my old time friend FreeBSD, and more enamoured with Ubuntu, so perhaps it is time to abandon FreeBSD on my server. I’ll ponder it more later.

It appears that I have a significant hardware error, one which I am not in the mood to fix at the moment. So, I’ve taken this as an opportunity to move my weblog off my home webserver and onto a remote webhost. I bet that I have made the wrong choice when it comes to webhosting, but it’s cheap at least.

Expect images and some of my sidebar stuff to be broken. I also expect that the feedburner is down, but I will try to get that remedied shortly.

Sigh.

Addendum: Feedburner is still eluding me.  It’s balking at my feed, when it never did before.  Sigh.
