They switched servers cause they had capacity problems on stage 1

they have this temporary URL until the new server is up.

the benefits of Twitter

able to still get the updates and info when a site like this is down…

No twit-r for me

I hate my cell already. I don’t want it doing more than it does to ^&% up my day.

You don't have to do it on the phone

You can use the webby sites. That’s what I do. No phone for me.

Waiting for the DNS caches to update.

Which was probably more than you wanted to know. Server change, takes a little bit of time for the server caches around the interwebs to update.

Hope it comes up soon. I didn’t write all those previews for my health ;-)

it was your previews that took it down to begin with. So many people trying to read them. :-)

They had to upgrade to handle the Gavia effect.

Agreed!

Well worth the read too.

I still think it wasn't a DNS problem

Servers www and test always had the same IP address for me. Seemed like a virtual host config problem. Never mind, it’s all better now!

There’s so much on that site that I’m sure I’m missing stuff, but why does it have a “.tv” ending? It doesn’t have streaming video does it? Is it because of the video episodes showing the various travelogues from different sites?

I mainly go there for the event dashboards, but the “tv” part confused me.

I think it's something of a legacy

of the original purpose of the site (Steve’s own travelogues).

I love Steephill.tv, and the fact that it’s essentially an individual labour of love makes it all the better.

The domain is currently operated by dotTV, a VeriSign company; the Tuvalu government owns twenty percent of the company. In 2000, Tuvalu negotiated a contract leasing its Internet domain name “.tv” for $50 million in royalties over a 12-year period.1 The Tuvalu government receives a quarterly payment of US$1 million for use of the top-level domain.

Just because I have time on my hands….
