• Howdy all…Surprisingly, we’re STILL not seeing www.newsaskew.com bouncing over to the new server here at our end, and we certainly thought we would by now. The way you can tell if YOU’RE there yet is if you see the bright yellow text above the news letting you know. If you see that message and could be so kind to drop us a line letting us know you’re there, we’d appreciate it. At least we’d know the process IS working.

Just to explain quickly: When a website changes servers, its numerical IP address changes behind it. The front end stays the same, which is why you’ll always type www.newsaskew.com to get to us, no matter what. BUT, it takes a while for all the DNS sites (that’s DOMAIN NAME SERVER) out there to catch wind that a site has changed addresses. So, while someone in say, Kentucky, might still be seeing us on the old server, folks in California may have already reached the new one. We’re going to give it 2 more days, then replace the old page with forwarders that take you to the new server, no matter what, because it’s getting tough for US to maintain the site in 2 places! Anyway, there’s your internet server education for the day.

In other news — We’ve got an outstanding lead on where you can catch your own copy of Chasing Amy on DVD in a couple months, some Dogma news (as well as a long awaited Dogma: RC update coming this Sunday, on the NEW SERVER only), the usual smattering of NewsBites, and lots more fun. Behind the scenes plans continue on enhancements and surprises to celebrate the move to the new server, so expect some neat announcements over the next couple of weeks, as we lead up to the big chat & raffle drawing on September the 1st!

And now, on with the show…
