Some of you were disturbed by the blog temporarily going off the Internet earlier today. This was due to the wall.org domain name accidentally expiring. It’s been taken care of now, and we return to our (ir)regularly scheduled programming.
I’m in the middle of writing a post about the sun going dark during Jesus’ Crucifixion, but compiling all of the historical data is hard work! Meanwhile I’ve been quite busy with finishing various physics articles (and now I’m back in Santa Barbara now for a couple months for a workshop). But hopefully there will be a new post sometime soon…
It’s actually bounced a few times since yesterday, the last round being this morning… could’ve been propagating DNS updates I suppose but it seems stable now. Good thing too… I was going through some serious Undivided Looking withdrawal!! I figured that if it wasn’t up and stable by later today I’d contact my old work colleagues at Demand Media/Rightside and light a fire under someone to get it taken care of (they control Network Solution’s reseller rights for wall.org… when you called their help desk you probably ended up speaking with one of my old compatriots). Anyway… all is well now & I’m recovering. :-)
Very glad things are back :) have been watching as the name server was bouncing, Aron’s message was reassuring. (and I am curious to see the new post; although still tons of back issues I am working through)
