Goodbye Deep Thought, hello HAL 9001

As our present IndiServer (aka Deep Thought) has complained several times that there are too many of you, and that he rarely gets a moment's rest after IndiTalk arrived, we've decided that he needs to retire and go fishing.

So over the next two days, you may find that IndiBlogger is intermittently inaccessible while we pack our bags and move over to a younger, stronger and less temperamental server (aka HAL 9001).

See you all on the other side everyone, and wish you all a very happy new year! Smile

To put it in layman's terms, we shifter servers, which means that our IP address has also changed. When your browser makes a request for IndiBlogger.in, the DNS tells the browser which IP address is matched to that domain. DNS servers take some time to update, which is normally 48 hours. During these 48 hours, some ISPs will still point you to the old IP address.

After some research, I found that Opera Mini has it's own DNS cache, which is why some of you may be looking at the old IP, even now. As of now, there's no way to refresh that cache manually, as far as I can see. Frown Will try and sort this out quickly!

Just found a browser in which Indi opens - OPERA 4.4 customized for Vodafone. And now in other Opera Browsers it is showing Error 403: Access denied/forbidden.
