Well V3 is officially broken as we wait for the new DNS server to kick in. Woo!

Well, anyone who gets unauthorized access during this time won't be seeing much. So there is one good thing from this.

The V3 website is also working.

So much technical jargon to think about, plan and do. I have the CDN working pretty well now, but it looks like we'll be moving V3 onto a new host; a collocated server.

Hope you're enjoying seeing the progress so far... have hit a couple snags, but I think we'll be ready to launch; possibly early.

mm yeah looking good though I have noticed that (as I look at it just about daily as promised) the postcard map hasn't been working 4 me...

I know not a bid issue and probs the least pressing matter but o well

pyrosrock, Complaining starts in phase 2.

[pyrosrockthisworld]

i know...
there fore can i complain that it is taking way to long to get to phase 2 or cant i make that comment untill we are in phase 2 at which time it becomes redundent

haha im not reli complaining just comenting and i in no way am i being serious

[Garbee]

Things take time to develop when you are doing it 100% custom.

[pyrosrockthisworld]

well I am glad that's been cleared up

[Robbie Ferguson]

Truth be told, when I started V3 I thought I was building a new web site. Turns out, I was way off.... I'm building a new server, a new CDN distribution mechanism, a new way to post on-demand broadcasts, a new RSS feed creation system, a new image compression algorithm, and finally, a new web site.

It's all looking to the future. Do it right, or don't do it. That's my philosophy going into V3.

So sure, it takes time to get to Phase 2, because I have to be confident that I'm "done" before Phase 2 can start. That's when you need to test everything. No point jumping the gun on Phase 2 only to get reports that "Watching episodes in a lightbox doesn't work"... well, of course... I haven't coded that yet. Phase 1 is me coding it with you watching. Phase 2 is you letting me know what I did wrong
