Dang DNS

For the most part, my hsoi.com hosting transition has gone smoothly. I really like my hosting company’s new system; so much better than the old way.

Thing is, DNS still has not fully propagated. *sigh* To paraphrase Larry the Cucumber “Don’t know; shouldabeenherebynow.”

Some of the wordpress.com and Facebook notification emails come in via the new system, some still come in through the old system. Some other emails as well (spam, who cares about). I look at headers and see it’s a matter of what server on their massive system happened to send the mail, but gosh…. wouldn’t you think they’d keep all of their systems somewhat in sync? Maybe, maybe not… maybe it’s outside of their control (they’re at the mercy of someone else for their DNS).

Looking at other stats for the old system, like web, there’s no more stats there since Thursday.

I just want to get this transition over and done with, closed off the books and moving on. Just got a lot of things on my to-do list and I’d like to clear this one off. Plus the more I think about it, I’m pretty sure I’m going to move my blog from wordpress.com hosting over to be hosted at my own system. The transition will be annoying, but long-term it’ll be a better solution and give me more functionality and options.

We’ll see how things go after the weekend.
