File this one under “The Joys Of Mergers And Acquisitions.”

Invite.net has been sold to BizLand.com, which doesn’t support several of the key features that brought me to Invite.net in the first place. I got an email today that states that first thing next week my website and email will be transferred to BizLand’s servers.

There’s a very good chance that this site will completely break when that happens. The best-case scenario is that the existing journal entries will display but comments and a lot of the “extras” here won’t work (not to mention some of my security settings), I won’t be able to add new journal entries, and there won’t be a damned thing I can do about it since SSH shell access isn’t an option with BizLand.

My current plan is to have Europa, the dial-up provider I’ve used for many years now, point the domain at a box I need to build here at the office. It’s not the best solution, but at least this way I’ll control the box in its entirety. This is also going to cost me a little more. Such is life.

Ideas and contacts are welcome. Be warned that this may be my last journal entry until I get this thing moved elsewhere. No point adding entries that may get lost anyway. Grr.
