So yeah, I spent way too many hours trying to get Intellectual Poison right again after the move to BlueHost. But there are some issues that are not easy to figure out, the "help" files are as obtuse as reading sanskrit in a sandstorm and I just don't get why the system is doing what its doing. It makes no sense to me.
But I will continue to battle the forces of confusing coding until a resolution is found. In the meantime, whenever I publish the blog, I need to go into my cpanel and copy the updated index from a buried subdirectory and move it into the top directory. Loads of fun. No, not really. But at least it works. Sort of.
Anyway, lots to update, lots to pontificate and lots of insights to relate. So much pending its like sitting below a thought cornice.

And We're Back!
Well now, that wasn't near as difficult or painful as I expected it to be. I'm sure there'll be some lost links and files and things but, for the most part, the migration was a pretty smooth one.
And now there's no space limitations, the support site seems to work without issues and we're no longer paying for hosting on two different sites. Seems like a solid win/win to me.
Actually, the site finished migrating yesterday, I just got sidetracked with a kid's party and then a sweet night of UFC 98 ass kicking action!

Please Stand By...Migration to Less Annoying Hosting Services Underway
I'm in the process of migrating Intellectual Poison to a hosting service that doesn't suck anywhere near as badly and as often as EHostPros. More on their fail after fail after fail later.

Resolved and Quickly At That
My tweets today have been mostly centered on my stupidity at resetting my password to upload blog posts and content here. Yes, I did it all on my own and have no one to blame except my hosting provider's limp support system.
Granted, once I got in touch with support, they hammered out the solution pretty quickly and that's a plus.
However, the linked support pages from within my signed in account pages were garbage. And that's pretty ridiculous when they can't keep URLs up to date. The lack of alternate means of contact is more annoying than ridiculous since I wouldn't want to be contacting them unless I had a problem and that means I'm already annoyed.
But still, once the process got kicked into gear, it went quickly and I now I can both access my blog again, I can also even start updating IP Politik, my politics side blog, to start using again to help keep the political nonsense off the main blog to some degree or another.
I guess I'm just having one of those "Meh" days where you'd just as soon be doing anything else than what you are doing. I'd rather be sleeping or riding my bike and I know I won't get to do either for at least a few more hours and it won't be riding.
I think one of the problems is that I have too many accounts, too many logins and passwords to keep straight and not enough time to get things into an organized place enough to get on top of it all. Plus I've got projects languishing on back burners all over the place. Projects that I don't want to languish anymore, I want them boiling and throwing off hot nuggets of revenue!
Anyway, I'm back at speed again, will start posting political posts to IP Politik (with a short link here, I'm sure) and am also looking to migrate WIPE (Wal-Mart is Pure Evil) to its own custom domain to stop the cross-pollinated RSS feed. There is always, always work to be done.
