Things are going to come down to the wire in my exit from New Zealand - I can tell. I have been snowed organizing things, selling off stuff that is surplus to requirements and tossing out other stuff.
One of the immediate issues is around finding a place to park my blog for a month or so. You see I run my own server and host my blog and an email server on that. This is all well and good and gives me plenty of control over my own blog destiny, but it poses a wee problem when you have to take the server out of the rack, box it up, put it in a container and ship it across the Tasmania Sea. I could not get a container with a broadband connection - what's with that!?! :)
The mail server is easy - I am going to copy Nick Randolph at Softeq and move the domain to a hosted Exchange environment for a few months and migrate back when I am up and running across the ditch. There dose not seem to be such a thing as Hosted DasBlog, so the blog presents a bit more of a problem. Right now I'm looking for web hosts that can accommodate my blog for a similar period of time - at least. I may move to external hosting permanently...
