| So you've found
me. A quick explanation of what's going on08 May 2004
The domain arik.org is on ice. After hosting it for several years with Earthlink, I'm now centralizing all the domains I own with a single hosting provider, 1and1.com. The transition is complete for all the domains except arik.org. This means until the various bits of the Internet bureacracy get my domain registration and hosting transfer complete, which could take as long as ten days, everything about my Internet existence is going to be in a weird state of flux. I myself am rather flummoxed by the whole affair. The further complicating fact is that Blogger.com doesn't seem to like sending data to the new host via ftp. I'm either going to have to perform some kind of sacrifies to the Gods of Blogger to get them to help me out, or really stand on my ear with my ISP to get them to investigate further. The new hosting provider's level of support as yet is not encouraging. Meanwhile my digital identity is floating in peices.
Testing.
This site is moving06 May 2004
If you happen to notice any disruption in availability here, it's probably because's switching hosts. It should only last a few days. I'll be reachable on arik - at - arik.net in the interim.

 On my very first job, I said 'thank you' and 'please.' They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees. Then I got fired for being scared of bees, and they only gave me 50 cents an hour....
