  1. I’m getting the email with the new posts and can see the new posts in The Old Reader, but I cannot see the new posts on the web site.

    1. Ditto. Can see this post, but can’t see the newer ones for which I’ve been getting e-mail notifications. Traceroute shows it living somewhere on a Linode, which I assume is the new server.
      I’ve tried multiple browsers, and even my phone with WiFi turned off (so entirely different Internet service), so it’s not a cache thing.

  2. At this time, there are some people reporting some errors. If you are seeing this post, then you are on the new server. If you don’t see this post, then you are visiting the old server.

    DNS is a finicky beast and it takes time for all the people that like to cache IP addresses to get the word.

    If you see anything referring to the old hosting server, that is likely a cached IP address in your browser or your computer or your service provider.

    You might be able to fix it with a “shift Reload” or you can try an incognito/private window. We are monitoring and Miguel is very good at yelling with the right level of curse words when he sees something wrong.

    Thank you for all your donations to Miguel and for your forgiveness as we watch things slowly propagate and get a little better (see, not a post, just a comment)

  3. So I figured it out. Our great bloggers, Miguel and J.Kb. either had a couple of posts pending OR they managed to post on the old site.

    So the old site sent out email saying “NEW POSTS!” But when we went to visit the new site we saw things that we shouldn’t.

    It all comes down to DNS propagation. I don’t have access to put the old site in maintenance mode so it is still serving pages to those poor unfortunate souls that were captured by the sea witch of DNS propagation.

Only one rule: Don't be a dick.
