Fixed : Accessing the Almanac, Not Fixed : Accessing the MoveOn Virtual Primary
If you're a semi-regular surfer to my site, you've probably noticed the occasional instance when you'd try to get here and you'd just... well, hang. And then you'd get an error. The old familiar "Page Cannot Be Displayed" message.
Well, to quote an ex-girlfriend... "It's not you, it's me."
Apparantly my registrar (aka the company I registered my domain name with) had trouble pointing to the correct IP address for my webserver. Basically, it wasn't always able to talk to the Domain Name Servers (DNS) at my webspace provider.
After some phone calls and a few tech support emails, my provider finally forked over some new DNS server names to give my registar... apparantly the ones they originally gave me (DNS1 and DNS2) were so old they were gathering mold. I switched over to DNS5 and DNS6, and voila. No more connection issues.
Oh, sorry, did I just put you to sleep?
To summarize : It was broke, now it's not.
Getting here should be far less annoying from now on. As for the actual content... well, I can't promise anything there.
In other "Page Cannot Be Displayed" news...
MoveOn.org, the online political action organization that boasts 1.4 million members, officially started it's "virtual primary" today, where registered participants can vote online for their preferred Democratic Presidential Candidate. If any one of the candidates gets more than 50% of the vote, MoveOn will endorse them... and that's an pretty big deal.
Unfortunately, soon after voting opened this morning, their webservers took a nosedive and crashed hard. Not ready for the volume of traffic, apparantly. Slightly embarrassing for them, but exciting to know that so many people are interested in this political picking and clicking.
If you look to the upper right, you can probably guess who I'm planning to vote for, so I hope I actually get to vote. It'd be a shame if this whole thing gets spoiled by an unprepared, if well-intentioned, IT crew.
12:30pm - an update : It looks like they're back up and limping. It's possible to get through, but it might take more than a few attempts. Consider my vote cast and counted.
