HumidCity

Late this evening we will be relocating the site to its new server hosted by Green Tangerine. This means you may end up seeing some downtime while the domain catches up with it’s new server.

If you are a Feedblitz/Feedburner subscriber (or use another feed reader) you will need to re-subscribe once we are in our new home. I am truly sorry for that, it s unavoidable due to the way things have been structured up till now.

Once we are stable on the new server you will see a lot of new content as I will be spending the weekend at Rising Tide III doing some blogging and video blogging. If HumidCity does go down please look to Katrina: An UnNatural Disaster where I will be liveblogging the conference.

Thank you to everyone that helped us get to where we are today. Over the past three years I have had the pleasure of watching as HumidCity has grown into a true community pulpit. Not bad for a site that was started as a throwaway test blog just before the storm, eh?

Remember, its all about you! The residents of New Orleans, the most amazing group of humans to walk the earth since the days of the Australopithicenes! It is because of you, our friends and neighbors that HumidCity exists! Special thanks to Alan Gutierrez for the assistance he has given us over the years, it is directly responsible for the site’s continued existence.

See you on the other side of the server relocation!

Yes, thats right, HumidCity is moving to Portland, OR. Not only that but we leave this weekend, at least the ones and zeros do.

After two and a half years of hosting kindly donated by ThinkNOLA the HumidCity site will be relocated to servers owned by Green Tangerine Media, who are also being quite kind to us. ThinkNOLA is shutting its doors. The team writing are still in New Orleans, the attitude is still in New Orleans, but our servers will be outside the storm zone.

I am stressing this for a few reasons, first of which is the fact that we may end up with some dead time during the change. It can sometimes take a day or two for the address to map to the new server. In other words while I hope there won’t be any, the possibility of down time is one to be aware of. The move will be late at night on Friday so there will be no new blog posts from dinner time on.

In addition, those of you following on Feedburner or through Feedblitz will need to add us again after the move. The feedburner account is ThinkNOLA’s and we cannot take it with us.

I’m letting you all know about this in advance because the memory of our three days of downtime a few months back haunts me. It haunts me I tell you!

Look for some major improvements to the site in the near future!
