Extend-A-Story Updates

This is a quick update on some changes with the Extend-A-Story project. I've recently upgraded the Extend-A-Story project on SourceForge to use an updated version of their project management software. One of the big changes in the new version of their project management software is a new interface f...

I just checked my email logs and saw that email to other GMail users seems to be working. You may still need to tell GMail that email from sir-toby@sir-toby.com is not spam to prevent GMail from sending messages from sir-toby@sir-toby.com to your spam folder. I am still waiting for the networking ch...

My latest test emails seem to be working. GMail may be accepting email from Sir-Toby.Com again. I'll keep monitoring to be sure. Just in case, I am also making a small networking change that should make it more likely for GMail and other email hosts to accept email from Sir-Toby.Com.

Sir-Toby.Com Email Blocked by GMail

I just noticed that GMail is blocking some emails sent from Sir-Toby.Com. I'm not sure what the issue is currently. I am looking into it. If you are using GMail, you may not receive some emails from Sir-Toby.Com until this is resolved.

The migration is complete. If you can read this message, you are seeing Sir-Toby.Com on its new server. One thing to note as part of this migration is that the email address that is used to send email notifications from Sir-Toby.Com has changed. The new address is: sir-toby@sir-toby.com Please make ...

I've tried to factor in the DNS propagation delay into my estimate of the migration time. I figure about an hour for my work and maybe an hour or two for DNS propagation. But you are correct, there are variables outside my control, such as for how long your ISP will cache the old DNS information for...

I have installed a test story on my new hosting provider so that people can poke at it and make sure that everything seems to be working. My initial tests look good, but I'd like to make sure that I haven't missed anything. This is the URL: [URL Removed] Episode notifications will come from this ema...

I have started the domain transfer of the Sir-Toby.Com domain from my old domain registrar to my new domain registrar. This process may take several days. If everything goes smoothly, you should see no changes in the Sir-Toby.Com web site. The IP address and DNS servers are not changing as part of t...

Both Ben and I have posted a couple of episodes to the beta story, and there seems to be nothing obviously wrong. When I extended one of my own episodes I duly received an email notification, so that function works. Thank you for your testing effort. Everything I've tested looks good as well. I wil...
