Okay, Do Think of an Elephant

UPDATE: Thanks to the good folks at Coptix, I now have my elephants back. As you were, then, tigers.

...

I haven't had time to fully determine what went on, but it looks like an image file got lost in the server shuffle (good news: Terrablogs now has a new server). Every candidate page is now showing the alt text 'republican.gif' instead of the elephant icon beside the Republican candidates.

As a Milne critter would say, "Bother!" It wouldn't be that bad, but due to a series of circumstances, I'll now have to:

Locate the image file on the old machine

Put the file onto a RW or some such medium (the old machine is not USB-capable, and neither is it connected to the Internet any longer) and transfer it to the new machine

Re-upload the file to the new server

Do a search-replace in each candidate listing for the new filename

Rebuild the pages

So, please understand that that's what happened, instead of inferring some kind of passive-aggressive behavior toward Republicans.

After all, some Republicans are being very good to me these days. An example: former House District 6 candidate Joshua Arrowood not only sent me the website of the guy who beat him in the primary, which I took as a classy move; he has also tracked down the websites of several US House candidates and shared them. I couldn't keep up this site without this kind of help, and it is very much appreciated.

I'll get them added as soon as possible, and as well will finish updating the General Assembly pages to get them in tune with the upcoming general election. It's upon us.
