If you’ve stopped by Adaptistration anytime in the past several days, you’ve probably noticed it moving v-e-r-y slowly at times. That’s the result of the blog being so damned popular that the amount of daily visitors is necessitating opening up some new hosting territory. On that point, it is genuinely humbling to know that so many folks are finding the content useful and I thank everyone in advance for patience while the hosting upgrades roll out.
I wish there was a firm target date for when the work will be complete but the best estimate at this point is a few weeks.
In the meantime, if you begin to experience normal loading times for the site, pat yourself on the back for being one of the fortunate ones to connect via the new server and once again, thanks to everyone for bringing about good problems to have! We’ll pick back up with normal content tomorrow.
I’m en route to Chattanooga today to attend a concert on Thursday, 3/2/2017 of my wife, violinist Holly Mulcahy, performing Jim Stephenson’s Tributes violin…
Hi Drew,
I think that this slowing down not only affects your site, but computers in general. I know my MacBook Pro runs slower than it did five years ago and it’s due to everything loaded in the hard drive. So, don’t feel to bad over the amount of speed that enables your site to be read; Between networks and servers as well as hd content (not to mention some wireless network connections), there’s nothing any of us can really do to speed up the loading time of web pages or any documents on a computer, save having the ‘latest, greatest’ machine all the time. In my case, with a first generation Intel Apple, I’ve gone as far as one can with its OS so until I get a new Mac I can’t even use the newest cat in the family-Mountain Lion. Yours for faster computing.
