From geneb at deltasoft.com Fri Aug 20 06:15:38 2010 From: geneb at deltasoft.com (Gene Buckle) Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 06:15:38 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [simpits-ann] Service outage! Message-ID: Hi folks, I wanted to let you know that in the coming week or so I'm going to be upgrading the network service to the simpits.org and my other servers. The current network link uses a DSL circuit that runs 1.5/768k. The 768k number is the important one as that's the amount of bandwidth that the web servers have to send you content. I'm upgrading to a MUCH higher bandwith service of 20M/5M. This should alliviate any remaining speed issues that the hardware upgrade from last year didn't catch. The down side of this transition is that I'm going to have to renumber the entire outside network - this will require updates to the nameserver addresses that all my hosted domains use and that change can take up to 7 days to propagate throughout the root name servers. When I have a firm install date, I'll post another message letting you know when the outage is likely to begin.

I use the Comcast service for the "house" Internet and the DSL for the services that I run. By going to straight cable, I'll be consolidating down to a single source and in the end will save me about $20 per month. I may even be able to turn off a machine which will save some on the power bill too. g. -- Proud owner of F-15C 80-0007 http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of its kind. http://www.simpits.org/geneb - The Me-109F/X Project ScarletDME - The red hot Data Management Environment A Multi-Value database for the masses, not the classes. http://www.scarletdme.org - Get it _today_!
