Site News and General Announcements

First off, I feel I ought to apologise for the lack of updates over the last couple of days. Ant and I have been swamped with exams, so, unfortunately, The Bytevine had to take a back seat to the issues of real life for a while (namely, seemingly insurmountable piles of chemistry revision … I shudder at the thought!). However, those are, for the most part, behind us and we can begin to bring you content In earnest.

Looking forward to the next couple of days now, I would just like to make you aware of the fact that the web host for thebytevine.com’s VPS (servercomplete.com) have decided that in order to continue providing premium bandwidth (and not just Cogent! I wonder why …. ? ), all San Jose based servers must be migrated to alternative DC locations.

What will this mean for you ? Well … hopefully nothing – if all goes to plan the site will only be down for as long as is required for the dns to re-propagate – but I like to think (in my infinite wisdom) that this is your site as much as it is ours, so fair warning seemed to be in order.

On a more general note, you may have noticed from the 1200 word giant of an article on new iphone rumours, that we have a new associate editor here at the Bytevine. Dylan (or Tracker, as he prefers to be known) has been writing about technology for a long while now over at themodshop.net, and we are delighted to have him on board here, helping us bring you stuff really worth a space on your feed reader!

Lastly, I’d like to thank those few who have already commented and/or subscribed … you early contributors are really why we blog and we won’t forget it (when we’re all rich and famous and stuff …). Please continue to come back, it won’t be a waste of your time!

Cheers, Hugo
