hello all. the blog is back and running (though not at full speed).
we've moved hosts from dreamhost to textdrive to media temple. i think all the blog entries made the trip, but i lost all my movable type templates and style sheet info...it's going to take a couple days to reconfig everything.
what a pain, but hopefully there will be no more site outtages and freak outs due to bandwidth spikes.
old blog is still up at: http://slanted.org/backlog_backup/ though links may be wonky. if you try to go to a link from here and it's broken, try replacing 'backlog' with 'backlog_backup' and it may work.
