An Eclectic Affair

Well, this morning, some fairly significant news has been confirmed… July 12-14th, I’ll be in Urbana, Illinois for An Eclectic Affair, a convention celebrating nerd culture.

“Okay, Thomas… you’ve been to a handful of conventions.  What’s so special about this one that you’re letting us know 5 months ahead of time?”

The answer is that this time, I’m a special guest on my own merits, rather than an attache to someone much more famous than I.  It’s a bit overwhelming to get that sort of recognition, but it’s also another chance to see me in person and get all those things you wanted to say to my face out!

I’ll update information as to what sort of panels I’ll be participating in, as well as the content, as well as exactly where I’ll be.  So mark your calendars, and if the opportunity arises for anyone and everyone, feel free to drop in and say hi.  I’m sure I’d appreciate it.

Server Move Is Complete…

So, it looks like the Exiern server move is complete. Sadly, because of when the database pull was taken, we lost all posts, comics, and comments for the last week or so. This saddens me, but it could have been worse. I also want to send a shout-out to GoDaddy’s amazing Customer Service, who stayed on the phone with me for over two hours yesterday, helping to fix problems with products and services which are not their own. I may hate the commercials, but I love the service.

I’ve reposted “Minor Details Is All” today, and will repost “Dramatic Sepia” tomorrow (trying to post two comics on the same day only causes problems). Wednesday we’ll see the new comic that would have posted on Tuesday, and Thursday should have us back on schedule.

Next week, once I’m sure all this hosting foolishness is done, I will start posting the Reader eBook promotions. I had delayed them to make sure no one got short-changed by the server problems.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. I look forward to having all of this behind us shortly.
