Racing Blog Back Online

My hosting provider performed a platform upgrade (actually sold part of the business and moved to a new colo).  So somewhere between September 25th and October 2nd, my blog went down when WordPress could no longer access the DB.  While they assured their users there would be no interruptions to service, clearly that was not the case.

I saw that the blog was down this morning, figured out what was wrong,  and edited the wp-config file to point to the new database.  Things are seemingly back to normal.  It could have been MUCH worse.  I have seen total disasters in migrations such as these (none under my management of course).  🙂

Now I need to jump in my car and high-tail it to Summit Point, WV for my last SCCA Club Race of the season.  I am shooting for a new personal best lap record after setting one in the qualifying race yesterday.
