There’s been some grumbling this week about the turn towards the talky that Aldomania has taken. Some of you have even gone so far as to say that the Aldo storyline is no longer awesome! Blasphemy, I say. This little intervention is just a breather. I believe that we will get the shocking denouement that we were promised! I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF ALDOMANIA!

You know who else believes? Faithful reader mon-ma-tron! She designed the fabulous Aldomania t-shirt, and I realize now looking back through my old posts that I never properly credited her (she posted a link to the design and offered it up for t-shirtization in the comments, but I know not everybody reads all the comments). Anyway, she is, it goes without saying, TOTALLY AWESOME, and here she shows off her t-shirt design prowess loudly and proudly, no doubt to a crowd of baffled onlookers.

The lovely and talented mon-ma-tron is sporting the junior raglan, but baby doll ts, baseball jerseys, and ringer ts graced with her fab designs are also available. And of course, there’s a whole bunch of other crap there as well.

When I posted my previous metapost about moving servers, I said this:

Hopefully all will go smoothly, but comments you post here and in the forum during the transition period might not make it over.

Perhaps I should have been clearer. This does not mean that I will be capriciously removing comments or forum posts during the transition. This is an unavoidable part of the server transition process. Basically, to make the switch, I had to copy the entire site, comments and all, to the new server; once I did that, I needed to switch the domain information so that joshreads.com points to the proper server. But it takes 24-48 hours for that domain information to percolate across the Internet, so for a brief period, your Internet service provider may have been pointing you to the old site. If you made any comments or forum posts on the old site after the copy, they will be lost. Perhaps I should have made it clearer in my original post, but I didn’t think I had to. If you have further questions, e-mail me.

I’ve found a new server host and am going to take a stab at moving over this afternoon. Hopefully all will go smoothly, but comments you post here and in the forum during the transition period might not make it over. I will post an update here when the move has happened, letting you know that you’re looking at the new server. If all goes well, this shouldn’t take more than 24-48 hours. Sad that this must happen just as Mary Worth hits a fever pitch of thrills, but them’s the breaks!

UPDATE: Well, if you can read this, you’ve succesfully made the transition to the new server. Congrats! More deathless prose and less tech gibberish to follow.
