I had more than 55,000 items on my blog. Yesterday I downloaded them to my hard drive and now I have a new contract with my server host, and I'm moving them back up there.

I have no idea why they made it work this way, but they did. In the meantime my blog is dead. My little laptop is working it's ass off transferring everything back.

All to create a new site at a lower cost.

I've been working with a nice young guy named Phil for two days, but I have to honestly wonder if that's his real name, or is it just short for Philippines.

He will be calling back in a few hours to see how this huge fucking data transfer is going, and I will ask him.

I'm sure the whole thing is just a cost cutting method for the hosting company, and since I've taken advantage of their generosity for years, how the hell can I bitch.

If you've landed on my blog and are reading these words, the whole thing worked. A couple of recent Posts are missing, but what the fuck.
