TMS Alert! (1/30/09)
« on: January 31, 2009, 12:59:54 am »
Hi Folks, Wraithlike here. Just want to warn you all that sometime over this weekend (1/30-2/1/09) our good friends over at TMS will be down for a few hours. Luckily, when it comes back it'll be faster, something everyone loves. <3 

I know it might be scary to think about, but it's just a short time, and if you need a hand to hold, I'll be around. To prepare for the downtime, why don't you go now and download a bunch of maps hosted there. It'll give you a new experience for the short time TMS is down.

Now, for the technical stuff, if you need to hear it:
TMS is getting moved to a new server and the DNS'll have to propagate through everyone's DNS servers so they know the domain's on a new IP address and that usually takes a few hours. Just to reassure you, nothing is broken, and you'll be able to savor the delicious maps soon.

New DNS stuff.

This really doesn't relate.. well, I just changed my DNS servers to those of OpenDNS.com. Surprisingly, it makes web pages load faster. I personally recommend it to people, and if need be, you could always change your DNS servers back to your original ones.

Yep.

Okay, it seems the upgrade went fine. It's on the new server, along with a bunch of other sites, if you're interested in what the box is: http://www.jrgp.org/phpsysinfo/
