Personal: Life can be cruel+Dublin notes

I managed to get to sleep around 5.30am yesterday morning. Not good. And today, I swear everything I watch on TV is intent on reminding me of my ex-fiancee.

Tried contacting her to give her my congratulations, but “The mobile phone you are calling is switched off”. Oh well. Also tried calling Kim again, but still getting the “We are unable to connect your call”. Blarg. Oh, and my “southern green eyed” friend returned my call and told me all about Ireland.

Techy: DNS – Fingers Crossed

I’ve just requested that Network Solutions change the DNS servers of one of my domains to point to Name Servers I have direct control of (previously they were pointing at my web host’s NS’s, but I wanted a bit more control over the entries – making sub domains etc etc.

Thing is, although I’ve tested the DNS setup (and had it running on 4 other domain names for over a month), I’m still slightly nervous about this switch over. Mainly because if the DNS goes tits-up (which it shouldn’t do), then my website and main email address are off-line for 24 hours until I switch the DNS servers back. Well, fingers crossed – nothings gone wrong so far in the last few hours (the change over happened around 3 hours ago), I see no reason how it could go wrong, but… Just call me “Richy – the paranoid humanoid”.
