Pack your bags, We're Moving!

So, Yeah.

Yesterday we got a very friendly email from our webhosting provider. Apparently within the past 2 months we have been consistently going over our transfer limit. This means that we've had more visitors than usual, and those visitors have been transferring a lot more data than normal. (robotLOVE, I'm looking at you...)

They said in their friendly email that we now deserved our own server. An actual computer that would be dedicated to running this website. (that's flattering)

Then they told us how much that was going to cost...
YIKES!
Even their cheapest dedicated server option was a bit pricey.
(read: MANY DOLLARS)

Needless to say we won't be going with that option. So we have one month to pack our bags, wrap our porcelain figurines in newspaper, hire some dodgy tough-necks, and move this bitch. Hopefully we won't have a Richard Pryor-esque miss-adventure like in the beloved 80's film "Moving." Hopefully, everything will go smoothly, and we won't even notice a ripple on this smooth glasslike website. We'll be weblogging just like normal, with no interruption of "services." Then at the end of the month, we'll cut the ribbon on our new digs.

The new host should provide us with some much needed improvements around here, and an up-to-date webloging software. It's an exciting time here at clunkyrobot.com. I've already picked out our new place, it's got a pretty picket fence, and under the carpeting I found impressive hardwood floors.
We're gonna dig it!
