After more than a decade of bending the terms of service of my cable provider, I’ve decided to move bognet.org web and email to an external host. The spam was getting ridiculous and I just didn’t have the time and energy to keep up with the necessary spamassassin updates and rules. I think regular readers will also appreciate a faster load time now that they won’t be competing with the Mrs. for limited upstream bandwidth while she listens to the FNC Strategy Room (yes…it’s streaming video) all day.

The old blog was a nice java webapp called Pebble. I loved that it was java-based, but I wasn’t nuts about the XML vs database storage. I chose it because my job is very java-centric and I intended to mess with it a little. Never happened. Since the new host didn’t offer java, it didn’t kill me to switch to the much more mature Wordpress. Hence the different look. I’m really digging the features of WP too. Let me know what you think. I didn’t bring users and comments over, so apologies if you have to re-register.

Subscribers to RSS may have had the feed hiccup for a few days. I set up an alias to the new feed, but the current feed is now http://www.bognet.org/?feed=rss2.
