SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 22, 2012 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 22, 2012 In light of our current server move that is ongoing right at this moment, more on that here, Bob (the tech dude) has created an endlessly fun game. If you go here: http://www.snowjapan.com/bob.htm ....he'll tell you if you are currently on the old or the new server. Exciting stuff hey? Actually this is helping us monitor the situation as well, but as it's so much fun, I thought we'd share. Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 23, 2012 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 23, 2012 Basically, we created 2 versions of the "Bob" file. One that says old and one that says new. Uploaded the 'old' on to the old server and the 'new' one to the new server. The domain name 'snowjapan.com' has been set to point to the new server, but that flushing out through the internet can take a day or two - usually less. So some people can see the old and some can see the new. Unfortunately, we are still on old and so we can't really get to work fixing up any problems just yet. Funny, last week we changed over 30+ domain names, and they all pretty much took hours to change. Trust the most important one to take much longer (for us)! Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Still getting old as well here. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 My PC says "old". But on my keitai, I see "new". Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Old.... Fitting though as I am like a fine wine. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 23, 2012 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hmm it is really taking it's time which Bob isn't too happy about... all we can do for now really is just wait. Emails are very wonky as well at the moment and the weather forecast data and Now reports might be wonky today as well - some posted to old and some to new. If we have the old we will later on post them over to the new. Word for the day..... wonky! Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Was old just 30 minutss ago now. Not changed to New! Kool! Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Still old....Damn that Bob.!! He's giving me a Geritol complex. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Work mac and mobile phone both say new. Could we have a bob and cheese photo please? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 23, 2012 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 23, 2012 Seems to be on and off here the last 15 minutes, changing between the two states. Email is very weird. Sadly we seem to have "lost" our Niseko Now report today.... it was posted, but is neither on the old or new server. Very strange, I need to get Bob on that to see if we can recover it from... wherever it is!! I'll be very glad when this is all over! Link to post Share on other sites
