Happy Holidays! in Site Updates

Wow, only nine days until Christmas. This year is slipping away quickly. Where did that first half of December go? Wasn’t it, like, (American) Thanksgiving last week?
I do remember mentioning to someone on the site a few months back that there would be site changes on the way, most certainly before the end of the year. But then life happened, and not much has changed on the site in quite some time. So I guess I have to fall back to the old George R. R. Martin line, “It’s done when it’s done.” Or something like that. I won’t push out something shoddy or half-broken.
But there are a couple of items I think are worth mentioning:
-
The domain prosebox.com is now mine. I wasn’t really expecting to acquire it, but now I have and that’s pretty cool. Eventually prosebox.net will redirect to the dot com domain. So the rename of the site may be a moot point now. :)
-
I have set up a (secret) secondary web server that will be instrumental in testing the new site changes. Right now it’s just a copy of the existing site but I’ll start migrating new stuff to it. And I’ll go revisit my old comments to see who amongst you were interested in doing a bit of beta testing. So that’s still going to happen.
Meanwhile, I wish you all a very happy holiday season. I hope the end of 2015 treats you all very well, and here’s hoping for great things in 2016!

Ohhh, secret web server. It's like a spy novel.

Well hello, Gaius Baltar. I have this sudden urge to go watch the first episode of the rebooted BSG again. :)

Is it too late to volunteer for beta tester? I have some experience doing this for OSS. Although I have to say I like the site quite well as it is.

Certainly not, the more the merrier. :)

Well congrats to you now owning Prosebox!! So very happy that you allow us to share it and if you need a beta tester, I can be a user tester as no smarts to fix anything. Just a blogger here.

Bob and Doug... that was perfect.
Merry Christmas to you and your family and thanks for this amazing site! My first PB book was 2013, and now it's almost 2016? Crazy!

Oh those crazy Canucks! Have you seen Strange Brew? Campy, classic Canadian film. I'm feeling another viewing might be in order. Thanks, ya hoser, eh. ;)
Love all you've done for us. Looking forward to seeing what 2016 brings!

Happy holidays! I certainly feel more that Prosebox is a little family more than I ever did at the old site.

Better to take longer to do something right than to do it quicker and have it be full of bugs and all kinds of frustrating glitches. So glad to hear you care enough to work so patiently and diligently on it no matter how long it takes. You got a beta tester if you need one!
