Squidblog

Gil is migrating Squidoo to our new servers tonight, sometime between 8:00 and 8:30pm EST.

Here’s how it’s gonna work. We’ll be disabling the lens wizard and workshop 30 minutes before the start of the move, just to make sure no one’s work is interrupted. Then the entire site will go dark for approximately 5-10 minutes while the changeover takes place.

Your lenses, of course, will be totally fine.

Servers = scale, speed, stability… what a nice trifecta.

Update: We’re back everyone! Thanks for hanging in there. -Gil

Update (Thursday, 9:00am EST): The server move went well, and the site (and your lenses!) is safe and live for viewing. We’ve disabled the workshop and lens wizard again, however, as it was throwing off a few bugs. This means you won’t be able to edit lenses or make new ones until we’ve worked out the kinks. But Gil’s hard at work, so it’s shouldn’t be long. Thanks! — Megan

Update (Saturday, 4:45pm EST): Here’s an update on the major bugs encountered during our migration. Thanks for your support and patience! -Gil
