Timing, or why to plan even minor tech changes.

---

I'd forgotten I'd even emailed Leo Babauta of Zen Habits. I shot him a question about productivity (his area of expertise), or my oft lack thereof, and thought no more of it.

Then just yesterday as I was porting this site to a new host/domain (not a particularly fun process for TextPattern), I noticed a spike in my (meager, some may even say pitiful) traffic, from a post of Leo's.

I popped over there, expecting it to be from some comment I'd made on one of his posts, only to find myself front and center (so to speak), the catalyst for one of his posts.

Talk about timing - this site was partially ported between hosts, and I hadn't even given thought yet to redirects from my old host. Nothing like panic to make one more productive, even temporarily.

Seriously though, thanks for the mention Leo. One of these days I'll have to get trackbacks working with TextPattern.
