Normal service imminent

Posted on February 26, 2013 by

We apologise to all readers for the extra-flaky performance of the site today. The ridiculously, needlessly convoluted process of moving domain should be complete by tomorrow, and we should be in maximum effect at our brand-new, altogether-more-robust location by Friday. And we thank, once again, everyone who contributed to the donations that made that move possible.

    I bet something goes wrong tomorrow. I’ll put money on it, in the form of an extra donation to the fund!

    I thought this was normal, or even improved, service! But on an iPad without the benefit of 4 or even 3G who can tell!

    I have been in the habit of buying a Guardian/Observer every day. Stopping has saved nearly £10 / week. Having sent £10 to Wings last week I’ve given Newsnet a few £ today and the balance of the saving will go to Wings before the target date.
    Look forward to the shiny new domain!

    That would be a good slogan for the Yes campaign: “Normal status will be resumed shortly”.

    I trust the site is now hosted beyond the powers of Westminster to close it down.
    Ask Guido Fawkes re order-order.com’s repositioning.
    Paranoia is irrelevant if the BSTs are really after you.

    Hah! Jiggsbro’s comment made me giggle. In any case, looking forward to the domain swap. Maybe a little site make-over next?

    It’s good to see there has been a jump in contributions over the past 24 hours or so.  Now clearly past the half-way mark on the Indiegogo counter, and am I right in guessing there’s another couple of thousand off-system?

    Payday in a couple of days….
