NCVoices.us (the news etc aggregator) may be coming to an end.

Well, thus is sad.  The rather wonderful and reliable web hosts who've kept NCVoices.us up (along with journo101.com and warming101.com) for the last 12 years or so are transitioning their webhosting to The Cloud, which would raise the rates for the setup I have, which helps make it appear that an obsolete and rickety script like the one that builds those pages is more trouble to adapt than it's worth.

As you can see from some of the ncvoices.us content (e.g. there's a section still up for candidates from a previous election)  I have not been tending it with care, anyway, and the script would need work that I'm not suited or wanting to do, to make it functional and secure enough to deserve readers in this era.  Besides, now there is facebook and twitter.

In other news, there was a presidential election yesterday.

FYI, NCVoices is underperforming

Tuesday Aug. 18 update: It was *really* underperforming, it turns out I broke it late Sunday night (Aug 16; obvious advice: do not mess with software when sleepy) and didn't realize this until today (Tuesday, the day after the wildfire evacuations were ordered).  Quite a tangle on Monday.

Blogs that should be appearing on ncvoices.us, but aren't (and haven't been, for far too long), are farstars.blogspot.com (mostly ideas) and cea-nc.org (the idaho-maryland mine, etc).  I'll see if I can improve this situation in a day or two.  Also, there is probably a leftover tracking cookie thing that I need to get rid of, in the template, from an earlier era.
