Regular subscribers will have noticed that I'm blogging again! :-D Agilemanagement.net has been in transition. We've moved it over to be hosted with the Modus Cooperandi servers and web site. Since, its inception, agilemanagement.net was hosted by my old school friend Alan Laird at his likk.net facility which from time-to-time has been in a garage in London and a back bedroom in Tokyo. I'd like to thank Alan for all his hard work maintaining the servers and providing hosting space for more than 5 years.

We've moved the site over to a professional facility and as a result, service to you the readers, will be better. There shouldn't be any more outages of more than a few minutes. Murphy's Law had a bad habit of striking likk.net. Alan would go on a vacation to a location without Internet connectivity and while he was on the plane outbound the servers would fail. Most recently a nearby house in Tokyo was stuck by lightning and the router was taken down. The outage was 3 days and the failover to an old server in London left me with a 2 year old version of the site and a problem with FTP that meant I couldn't republish the latest version. After 2 weeks of struggling with GoDaddy to transfer control of the site, we finally have agilemanagement.net back up and running.

So I can finally blog again reliably. I have a wireless aircard for my laptop. So long as I am in the USA I can blog. When I am out of the country, I can blog as long as I have a connection at a hotel or WiFi at a conference. So expect a lot more casual blogging from me - for the first time in a long while. I'll also be doing some heavier pieces on new material that I've been storing up for the last year or so.

Expect a redesign of the site this fall. I've got Interactive Space who did the branding for Modus Cooperandi working on a new design. I'm also planning to migrate the site from City Desk to Expression Engine. Until then I'm going to leave the design as is. And while every page says "Hosted by likk.net" and it is no longer true. I feel Alan deserves the credit for helping out for all this time. Technorati tag: Agile+Management,, David+Anderson
