Well, that's it, then! The site has officially changed names and domains. The Demented Chicken Network is dead, long live Altered Origin. The domain change was uneventful and took a matter of a few moments, as expected; thankfully there was no downtime. You can continue browsing the site as usual. That notice up there will stay at the top of every page for a week or so just to remind people to update any links/bookmarks/references they have. I'll also be emailing my affiliates to inform them of the change.

There are obviously still a lot of references to the old name everywhere, and it may take me a little while to find and destroy all of them. Give me a few days to clean up what I can, in addition to fixing any links I need to. If you still see a mention of the old name somewhere and it's been about a week, though, I probably missed it and I'd appreciate it if you could bring it to my attention via email or whatever.

I don't have that new stuff quite ready yet, but I'll try to get to it this weekend. I also got an interesting idea that fits in nicely with that project thing I'm being so obtuse and vague about; it'll still be a while before you see either of those things because I have quite a bit to read up on before I can start, but they should be fun when they're ready. Will probably also have some layout updates and things to go along with whatever I finish this weekend, and hopefully a styleswitcher fix shortly afterward.

 

EDIT: Derp, forgot two pretty important things! First of all, I'm changing my primary email address to phoenixsong@alteredorigin.net to reflect the name change. The old address will automatically forward emails to the new one just in case, but please use the new one from now on if you need to get in touch with me; I'll only be replying from that one. Second, while I'm in the mood to get rid of stupid names, the "Inane Nonsense" section has been renamed "Miscellany", which is not quite as interesting but makes me feel less like a five-year-old. (A five-year-old that knows the meaning of the word "inane" for some inexplicable reason, but a five-year-old nonetheless.) Cheerio.
