Hey, it’s a tiny post, just like 2004 days. Short. Sweet.

If you are actually reading this post, not just clicking a like button, you hopefully notice a bit more “zip” to it? Like a purring sports car engine. Like…

…being now hosted in Reclaim Cloud. It was maybe a year or more ago, when Reclaim Hosting announced their Reclaim Press (I tihnk that’s what it was called) service, an optimized WordPress hosting, I of course raised my hand for a beta.

I thought maybe I would do a small site as a test, maybe my calling card at cog.dog. It would be risky to move this whole CogDogBlog barge that has been slopping on bits and bobs since 2005.

Then I got distracted.

Then when I was undistracted, I thought, why not? WTF? Why not move the most important (to me) web site in the universe? I contacted the Reclaim gurus, and we had some question over the nearly 17 Gb heft of its files.

With assistance, I managed to knock of some mammoth unneeded log files and then with some archiving of some other hanging blobs

I got it down to a more svelte… 13 Gb?

Taylor Jadin took it from there scheduling Monday as a transition time, He suggested “not blogging” which was really really hard to do 😉

And then it was done.

It’s now a sporty race car, eh?

It’s born to blog.

And now, it is cloud-injected with… okay I will stop the automobile metaphors. I have a load of big posts to unload.

Zooooooooom.

An early 90s builder of web stuff and blogging Alan Levine barks at CogDogBlog.com on web storytelling (#ds106 #4life), photography, bending WordPress, and serendipity in the infinite internet river. He thinks it's weird to write about himself in the third person. And he is 100% into the Fediverse (or tells himself so) Tooting as @cogdog@cosocial.ca
