Our host provider has a planned server update and migration of SDA to the new machine, scheduled for 6pm Eastern Saturday, August 13th.
SDA will be unreachable during this time — for how long, we don’t know as the process isn’t under our control. If we encounter serious issues that result in an extended downtime, I’ll try to provide what updates I can via Twitter – @katewerk
Sunday morning update: it appears that everything’s working well, apart from some content that was lost late last night.

This just seems odd. Is SDA not running on a virtual machine or slice?
Visiting SDA is virtually always a slice.
Oh no! You mean we may have to get a life, meanwhile?
I can try to wait … Good luck with the migration.
wot did Rance screw up now?????
We’ll just have to be patient until the switch-over is complete. Thank you for the warning, Kate.
It’s more likely that Lance will need to rescue us from somebody else’s problems.
Calgary at Riders if you need a distraction during this trying ordeal.
Don’t use Hitlery’s server, or her closet host service
one wonders why Kate has an over seas server, Rance could fly here and set one at Pear One, and then be able to do switch overs in 15 minutes, as my SIL used to do.:-)))
Please give us a like button!!
A like button…Please!
Good luck with the change.
What glasnost said, “Always a slice”.
Hopefully SDA will remain SDA, unlike some of the other blogs. Good luck with the change. =-)
There’s no reason not to have this site on a VPS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_server). There are plenty of Canadian options these days.
Thought you would all like to review my thoughts on why progressives don’t follow through their ideas..

com’n for u little bill….
Laura Ingraham tears the never Trump fools a new one. Well said ma’am. I’ll add polling to back her point which currently have Trump’s lower party loyalty vote as a decisive difference, whereby Trump could be up a bit rather than down a bit, if not for the crybabies:
“Those are reasons to support Trump, not reasons to fear him. Over the last 25 years, the conservative movement has failed to win a single election against Bill Clinton or Barack Obama. They failed to stop social liberalism. They failed to stop the rise of China. They failed to shrink the federal government, balance the federal budget, return power to the states, or generally do any of the things that GOP voters wanted them to do.”
Now, peeved and spiteful that the base no longer trusts them to do almost anything, they are supporting Hillary Clinton — a radical liberal whose 25 years on the national stage have been an absolute disaster for the average American.”

I think my comment was something like ‘DNS changes usually go smoothly and quickly’, which is true, except when they cause comments about DNS changes to go missing. It’s not as if the comment was worth much anyway.
CBC: But he had a lot of whiteness about him…
The suspect is described by police as a black man, six foot one, in his 20s, wearing a red and white shirt, white pants and white shoes, and carrying a white gun.

Is my memory going or was there a Reader Tips that disappeared from this blog????
Just thought I’d ask.
Is my memory going, or was there a Reader Tips that has disappeared from the page?? I believe that this was the featured group with the song ”Bernadette.”

“Sunday morning update: it appears that everything’s working well, apart from some content that was lost late last night.”
Some content …was an entire thread on the Milwaukie travesty.
I had 2 long comments that I spent a considerable amount of time working on.
The basic substance of those 2 screedic victims of collateral damage was that the government and their agents(POLICE) are at minimum enablers of the civic unrest that is currently going on.
But BOY oh BOY won’t Wisconsonions be greatful to the government and their agents(police and now apparently National Guard) once they put out the Fire that the government and police enabled in the first place.
YAY! Aren’t we lucky to live in the best place in the whole world?!
And the government only robs us and lets the thugs they pay with the robbed fruits of our labour to beat us and burn us out every now and again to help us to fully appreciate how well and benevolently we are ruled over.
Yippy.
eso pasa porque la gente tiene animales en su departamento ylos animales no estan en su habitat natural.
