*********Server has BEEN UPGRADED - 11/20 ***********

[jason]

We are moving to a new server on this coming Sunday Night, 10/24.  I will start working on it around 10:00 pm central, but the planet won't go down until around midnight.  Everything should be up and running by Monday morning, if you experience issues, give it some time for the new name servers to propagate across the internet.

I will be also addressing some maintenance issues also. 

This change should address any slowness experienced as a result of our current provider throttling our resources.  It will also give me more flexibility in the future to better serve everyone.

Always wondered what you looked like.  Now we know.

I guess I wasn't expecting that many teeth!! Ha

Yeah, substitute the coffee iv for a red bull iv and that is probably accurate some nights.

So how did it go? Or shouldn't I ask!

Ran into a few things, not totally over yet.  Actually I am working on the switch right now.

We are on the new server, still having some issues on the frontpage.

Yep that is the reason, how to got a little bit more server than I thought we needed, but we were constantly crashing today.  The real test will be Monday to see if she can handle it.

Just a random question, but did the jpg's not follow the switch? Seems like the stuff that has a pic gives a 404 error. Thought you might want to know...

Yeah, directory structure changed just a bit, everything should change over fairly quick.

OK, I'll bite. What is the special thanks for above? What did they do? I'm assuming something with the server switch???

Thanks for all the work you are doing to get the site moved to it's new home. And I second the call to transfer the blogs.

And while you're at it could you add SD's blog back to the menu?

Thanks. (clapping)
