Migration Announcement

Once upon a time - starting way back in 1993 - I had a pretty deal with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to host this web content for free (since I derive no income from my work here). That ISP went to an "everything's a profit" philosophy during the ugly brain-drain and for-profit shakedown period of 1998-1999. I started getting invoices for hundreds of dollars monthly; I had to move.

Since cost was based upon size of content, I removed the hundreds of megabytes of pictures and replaced each and every exist web page with the following announcement:

we're moving!

How did I do it? Well, my contribution to the project was to hire the brain of "Phil Suh", who explained how to place the announcement text into the workspace,

the workspace note

make a copy of the pageFilter (to make the reverse process trivially easy), and instruct the pageFilter to use the announcement text instead of the body text. Then I render the entire site and upload the changed pages to the site. (I use "Fetch-O-Matic" to do the uploading.)

the pageFilter

To undo the process I renamed "pageFilter" to "pageFilter with announcement" and "pageFilter copy" back to "pageFilter". Then I render the entire site and move pages and pictures to the new web server.

Thanks Phil.
