I just informed the TPN hosts that the techs and I have decided to re-build the TPN servers from scratch over the course of the next week.

Why would we do this?? Have we gone craaaazy?

Over the last week, it’s become evident that the TPN servers are completely frakked. Every time we fix something, it breaks down somewhere else.

In order to break out of this recursive loop, we’re going to build some brand new servers and migrate over the old content.

I’ve been told it should take 3 - 5 days, assuming our hosting provider can get me some new servers quickly. In the meantime, any TPN shows that break (like G’Day World currently is), will just have to stay broken. No point fixing them only for them to break again 24 hours later.

Ahhhh…. the joys of being a one-person, unfunded, online media company. Sometime I wish I’d just bent over, grabbed my knees, assumed the position, and let the VC’s invest….

… nah, just kiddin’. We’ll make it through this!

Ladies and gentlemen, please ensure your seatbelts are fastened and tray tables stowed securely - this could get bumpy.
