On June 24, 2013, we had an annoying little outage that affected all the WordPress sites on this domain. It ultimately came down to a DNS subdomain issue that mysteriously reared its head after a few years of non-eventfulness. Once it was figured out, a simple change of settings set things straight. Sorry for any inconvenience.
I’ve installed a new theme. My plan is for it to be the last of these for a while (still, no promises). It’s a bit better behaved than the previous one and works marvelously with the WP 3.6 betas.

The Forum has been locked, i.e. made read-only. The reason: I’m planning on changing my default forum. Since there isn’t a quick-and-dirty way to move the data from the old forum to the new, I’m keeping the old one available so those interested can still read the posts.

TIB Has Moved – The Migration Experience to WordPress 3.0
For good or for ill, I’ve moved TIB over to Wordpress 3.0. What does this mean? For you guys, it pretty much just means that instead of typing “http://cjcs.com/tib” you’ll be typing “https://tib.cjcs.com”. Hopefully that will be the only significant inconvenience you’ll have.

My apologies for this site being unavailable for at least 10 hours on June 28, 2009. A critical file on the T I B site which should never get mangled somehow got mangled. It happened at the worst possible time: right after I’d stopped personally monitoring the site for the day (hey, even I have to sleep at some point).
