Wings Over Scotland

We’re back (we think)

Posted on July 29, 2012 by

Our apologies to anyone who had trouble accessing the blog over the last 36 hours or so. While a few concerned emails asked whether we’d forgotten to renew the domain name, in fact the problem was the opposite – we DID renew it, several days early, but the transaction caused our rubbish registrants to reset the nameservers by mistake, and although their speedy online support managed to identify the problem and help us get the proper details back, the nature of DNS propagation meant that it took a while to get the old ones fully out of the system.

(We regularly saw the page flip from the proper one to the placeholder several times in the space of ten minutes, as late as yesterday evening, and annoyingly it’s probably cost us the chance of breaking the cumulative million-page-views mark this month.)

Everything should finally be fine for everyone now. If you manage to read this page but then the site vanishes again, please let us know.

    Do you have a public e-mail address should this happen again. I maybe still drunk from last night but I cannot find one on the blog.

    Can’t have a public email address because of spam, but the contact form is on a totally separate domain and server:

    link to worldofstuart.excellentcontent.com

    So it should always be available in the event of any related issues coming up again. Twitter is the best way to reach me quickly, though.

    Yeah! thanks for the advice someone there gave to me through Twitter, of clearing my cash (or what ever it’s called?).
     Great to see you all back (big smiley face) 😀
