The currybetdotnet Test Card
I've been very pleased that despite living in an almost-always-offline world during my stay in first Greece, and then Austria, that I have managed to keep up with making a new post to currybetdotnet virtually every weekday since I reactivated the site in April. However, updates have been sparse over the last few days, and I expect they will be for a few days to come.
In part, this is because I have reached a crucial stage in one of my new projects at Sony and so I have been very busy with work, and I'm also living in a small guest house with no internet access, which isn't condusive to round-the-clock blogging.
By far the biggest factor though, is that the site is about to move servers again. That means that the time I should be spending writing is actually being spent tweaking server configs, editing MT templates, testing PHP includes, and generally making sure that it isn't going to go horribly wrong as soon as I flick the big switch. All of which is a rather long-winded way of pointing out that if you pop along to the site in the next couple of days, and it isn't there, it'll be because I got it wrong somewhere along the way.
In fact, I guess this post is the blogging equivalent of putting an online test card up for a couple of days.
