You may have been wondering why you haven’t been able to connect to this site over the past couple of days. Or perhaps your concerned where the heck your own site that was being hosted on the splorp.com server went. Well, let me fill you in. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have found it necessary to switch to a different ADSL service provider. Because of the timing involved, this switch has unfortunately affected the availability of the splorp.com server and all of the sites that are hosted on it. This means that all web access, email accounts, and ftp services were down for an indeterminate amount of time. My original guess was that this server was to be offline for approximately 2 or 3 days starting on the 12th of July. Rather than wait for that date, the soon to be no more Cadvision decided to yank all of my IPs Wednesday afternoon, leaving my servers without any forwarding addresses. However, all was not lost. Thanks to Bruce Livingston and the lovely folks at Webcore Labs, I was able to move the servers to a temporary hosting location that will be their home until Nucleus — my new DSL provider — has me all hooked up again. I wish I could be more exact with how this whole thing will shake out, but as anyone who has had to deal with changing internet providers and updating domain name records can attest, this is not going to be a precise chain of events. I will advise you of any changes to the status of this situation as they occur. And of course, I’ll post a full report of this entire, lovely experience after the whole mess blows over. Whee!
