I'm pleased to report that we successfully moved our site to a new host over the past weekend and things went about as well as we could have hoped. Readers should have seen only a brief interruption in service for the site. The blog was down a bit longer due to the fact I neglected to remember to set some data base id's and passwords. So far, response times seem pretty solid and we aren't seeing any unexpected errors. Our site redesign will get underway shortly and visitors will soon see a new look.
One unrelated problem we have been dealing with is a mail bombing / denial of service attack by a spammer. That seems to be under control again this morning but it was a major distraction over the past week. If you e-mailed AFANA over the past week and didn't get an answer, please do so again. We more than likely never saw the message.
Getting back to footy, regular readers won't be surprised to learn the AFL has chosen not to respond to our letter regarding the proposed exhibition. Apparently common courtesy is something currently out of fashion at the AFL. To the AFL: you might consider acknowledging our letter even if you don't intend to answer our concerns. If you wonder why we're cynical, this is a good example. It's also worth noting that we have yet to see any official announcement regarding the exhibition. Whether this means it won't take place we aren't sure.
As another addendum to a past blog, our membership rates will be rising in January. If you want to join, now is real good time to do so. We have little alternative as our expenses have gone up considerably over the past three years and we have to bring income inline.
And lest anyone forget, the first matches of the wizard cup are only about two months away...
