I’m making a change to a new hosting provider. I’ve been testing TextDrive for the past couple of days, and have found that things that were not working at all at Pair.com work just fine at TextDrive. I think a lot of the problem is that Pair.com’s software is, for the most part, old. Especially on my server, being that I was a customer for more than 8 years and things hardly changed in that time.
Naturally there’s going to be some domain name messiness for a little while until things get sorted out. Hopefully you’ll stick with me through it. If you run into any problems, please send me email at [email protected], or just leave a comment on this entry.
Until the DNS is switched over, requests to rc3.org will be redirected to rafe.textdriven.com. If you go to rc3.org and stay there, you’re getting the fresh DNS info.
Signalling your status
The New York Times has an article today about the psychology behind those white oval bumper stickers with obscure acronyms that seem to be popping up everywhere. Here in North Carolina, the preponderance of them seem to advertise an affinity for various North and South Carolina beaches. We have OBX for the Outer Banks, TI for Topsail Island, and OINC for Ocracoke Island, NC. It took me forever to figure some of those out, probably because I’m not in the in crowd.
CafePress.com has a big selection of these stickers. My personal favorite is LKW for Lake Wheeler, a 650 acre manmade lake featuring picnic areas and a regulation volleyball court. Here in Raleigh our status symbols just don’t measure up very well to New York’s.
