ugh

I got an email from my ISP the other day. They're decommissioning the server my site is on, so I have until December 1st to move my site to the new server. Which really means I have until Monday, since I will be out of town next week. And I'm on call this week, so I won't really have much time at all to work on this.

The bad news is that I can't just ftp everything over. I tried putting everything on the new server last night with the ftp mode set to "auto" and that was a disaster. I expected most of the scripts would break because paths to files and directories have changed, but nothing works. It looks as if the ftp client just uploaded everything as binary, which is bad for scripts. So nothing works.

My plan is to re-ftp all the static pages, re-install Movable Type and Gallery from scratch, and attempt to re-construct everything. I doubt that I'll have time to do all that before December 1st, so who knows what this site will look like in a week...
