Just a friendly lil note to let you all know that we are moving house Friday afternoon.
The server will shut down tomorrow afternoon for several hours while I migrate all data over. downtime should only last a couple hours at the most though due to namespace propagation (I have always wanted to say that) it may take some of you longer than that to get on over to our new home (but not too much longer).
Don't stress though - it should all go pretty seamless (fingers crossed). I have been spending most of my mobile time in preparation so I doubt there will be too many woes.
Will the site look different? Nope. Basically it will be the same beast but on a faster and more powerful dedicated server. This means that during periods of high load (when loads of geeks are on) no one should notice any slowdowns and no ugly crashes.
Right now - we are OK until we have 70 odd people on at the same time - then everything slows to a crawl and the server starts gagging for breath until it passes out. This move will give thenailgeek.com bigger lungs and a breath of fresh air.
