Moving to new server

[Jay Dougherty]

Hello, OAFers. Knownhost will be moving this and the sister sites to a new server in the next days. Hopefully you won't experience any disruption, but if you do, the move will explain it.

P.S. If you can help support the cost of running this place, please do (click here). I'm doing my best to keep costs down, but the fact is I never did recoup the cost of setting this place up. Hence the carryover that makes this year's operating cost as high as it is.

Thank you.

i've just added to the collection plate

let us not forget
that OAF is not supported by any senate Reconciliation Fund

so if you can please chip in

Site is now migrated and seems to be working properly from my end. Let me know if you experience issues. Over time, the speed should be improved (esp. front page).

Some small issue with a certificate seems to be sorted out now, Jay, thank you

Might take DNS 24-48 hours to propagate. So says the host.

If you're on Windows, opening a command prompt and typing ipconfig /flushdns should speed things up.

Got you .. Firefox had an initial alert about an out of date Security Certificate, but it's been updated now.

Yeah. I got that stupid message as well. Then I cleared my cache or something, rebooted, etc., and it went away.

The security certificate will eventually update, Silent .. if you know how to clear the DNS cache, to get a new connection, that will also help.

Clear old cookies, cache, etc from the browser too

 

[Jay Dougherty]

I submitted a ticket, though, just in case.

This is where the old out of date info took me, Jay and Silent .. some weird Peruvian Blog 404 page

Yeh, Silent's security/error message also named the same Peruvian blog site as the owner of the certificate, might be an idea to see what's going on there.

The aialp.org.bo URL was the same one for me.

 

[silent lotus]

Jenn yes i had that same exact page as well at first

i did clear my cache from the last hour
and it seems i'm back in

Jenn if you are suggesting that we go to Peru to see what's going on

count me in !

I'm in!
But, I may need to go shopping first, haven't got a thing to wear for Peru

it's hard to know what's in fashion these days

Sorry for the hiccup. The new server is faster than the old one. Front page (from here) seems a lot faster.

What? Tell us about this...

See, you've just pictured my Peru fashion perfectly

Highly chic and highly inappropriate!

Hehe, just playing around with Silent, Jay .. but, South America, yeh, I'd go there in a heartbeat.

I'm an expert blagger, Silent, I'll find somewhere.

.. and oddly enough, if I were to have a travel plan-route for South America, it'd start in Argentina, the Tierra del Fuego area specifically, as far down south as I could get, move through Argentina into Chile and then work my way up.

I think we could be very happy there .. lovely work .. reminds me of the small art galleries that used to fill the road in Eton where I lived, not so many these days, but lovely little galleries your cousin's artworks would have been very much at home in.

and my cousin Paul Greenfield is the Audubon of Ecuador,, over 30 years he painted every bird species
and co authored The Birds Of Ecuador

we birded together when we were young kids in America
and i've enjoyed going into the jungle with him in Ecuador

he is a lot of fun and will take us everywhere without a care
if we are fashionistas or not

Just fantastic, Silent .. Art, birds, in the jungle, being perfectly happy with roughing it .. all the while being guided by and kept safe with someone friendly and close to you.

What a life!
