We’ve moved!

by Chris Brightwell on September 27th, 2007

OK, so the server migration is (finally!) complete. It took a lot of planning and many long nights staring at a pair of Unix terminals, but we’re finally moved into our new home on the new server.

It’s been a long time since we’ve posted an episode of ClothTalk, but we’re hoping to be back to a regular release schedule very soon.

Since you last heard our voices, we’ve moved the entire site to a new server, upgraded all of the software, optimized the databases, cleaned out some dead files, and completely reorganized the back end of the site. What does that mean for you, the listener? It means that our job, after all this effort, has gotten a little bit easier.

Also, as the eagle-eyed among you may have noticed, we’ve moved the ClothTalk site from scouthistory.net/blog to scouthistory.net/clothtalk, which isn’t as easy as it sounds. WordPress is a bear to move. The good news is that, through some technical magic, all of your old ClothTalk bookmarks will still work!

Ben and Tim working on a new episode of ClothTalk and I’m still testing everything I can on the new server. If you have an idea for the show or find a problem with the site, please leave us a comment or drop us an email (clothtalk@clothtalk.com) and let us know!

Gone but not forgotten

by Ben Killen on August 9th, 2007

If you’re a ClothTalk regular, i’m sure you’ve noticed its been a while since you’ve heard a peep out of us. After more than a year of bi-weekly production, we decided to give ourselves a bit of a break and take the summer off. Even so, we have been hard at work planning and preparing for bigger and better things in the future of The Scout History Project.

Soon we will be upgradading our hosting and migrating our website to a new server, which we hope will go very smoothly. Also, we’ve begun planning on the biggest, most exciting thing we’ve even taken on at The Scout History Project…but we’ll have more on that later. So fear not, we may be gone, but we’ve not forgotten. Keep an eye on this page, or sign up for the email notification because we will be back to our regular bi-weekly schedule very soon.

Thanks,
_ben

Conclave, conclave!

by Ben Killen on April 28th, 2007

Just a quick note to say we haven’t forgotten about you. It’s just deep in the thick of conclave season and we’re out and about getting a lot of great interviews and stories to share once we’re back.

In the meantime, check out the brand new “Arrow Ads’ videos Coosa Lodge is debuting at camp right now:

Ok, gotta run. See you soon!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays … from our family to yours!

We started this project in February (following several months of planning) and, needless to say, we feel that it’s been a huge success. We have more than 100 regular subscribers to our podcast, a growing community of wiki contributors, and lots more planned for the coming year.

So thank you, ClothTalk listeners, for helping us make this little project a success. We look forward to another year of bringing you the history of Scouting through collectibles.
