PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

You may not have noticed this, but last week we upgraded our old workhorse Blog server (which had been around since the beginning) to a coterie of processing beasts. It’s like moving from My Little Pony to a team of Agros from Shadow of the Colossus. That’ll mean less downtime on the busiest of busy days (a rarity, but still nice to avoid), comments should appear immediately (hence less double posting), and, most importantly, John D. should now be unable to break the site.

It also means we’ll be able to start working on adding some new features. But before we get to that, I wanna make sure we tied up all the loose ends on this server switch. I’ve been hearing the occasional commentary about people being unable to view the site on certain browsers at certain times. If you’re experiencing any problems, please let us know in the comments area. And yes, I realize the irony of asking here on the Blog itself :-)
