Prepare for short period of Urban Yukon going haywire.

The last step in the transfer of Urban Yukon from Geof to me will take place within a few days as the domain name ownership changes hands. In theory, there should be no visible effect. In practice, however…

Update: the transfer completed successfully on October 25th with an apparent lack of haywireness.

New Urban Yukon Blog: Inspiring Works

A man is propped up on an understuffed couch with a laptop computer perched before him and a mug of hot chocolate to his side.

We welcome Celia McBride’s Inspiring Works blog to the Urban Yukon community.

Most of us will know Celia from sour brides theatre and her many theatrical performances.

Exit.
