Yeah, about that server...
The server change I mentioned a week or two ago actually didn’t happen, because there were some issues that had to be ironed out with the new server (telling it to use eastern standard time instead of UK time, for instance). Anyway it’ll happen over the next 3 days -- I just updated the DNS resolution for nodivisions.com to point to the new server.
What this means for you, fair and noble visitor, is that you might not see some posts, or some posts might suddenly disappear, because they got posted to the site on the old server. I’ll eventually move any such posts to the new server.
In the meantime, if you want to start using the new server right away and avoid all that (not that "all that" is really anything...), you can edit your hosts file, which will be in one of these locations:
C:\Windows\hosts
C:\WinNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Just open it up in Notepad and add a line to the bottom that says:
212.13.208.64 nodivisions.com
(And the amount of space or tabs in between doesn’t matter.) Then File, Save, and exit. Close your browser and re-open it, and you’ll be able to see the new site. Which is, of course, the same as the old site. I made one little change so I could tell when my DNS servers get updated -- the new site has a capital S at the start of the "song of the moment" link (in the Fall theme, of course).
(If you use Linux, you can add the same line to your /etc/hosts file... but if you use Linux, I probably didn’t have to tell you that : )
