Well, how about that for an unplanned April Fool’s Day joke?

If you tried to visit my web site (or for that matter, any 1122 Productions web site recently (yesterday, especially), you got a Network Solutions “under construction” page. This occurred thanks to yours truly, but not as a joke. In fact, the joke’s on me.

It started when I got an e-mail from our host saying that our DNS information was changing and that we needed to update the change if our domain name seller (Network Solutions) used IP addresses. For those of you doing the Charlie Brown “wa-wa-wa-wa” sound right now, don’t worry about what that means…just know that I thought I’d have to change some information about where our site was on the Internet.

So I logged into our account manager, and found that all was well in as much as I didn’t look like I had to change anything. Unfortunately, it appears that I set the site to point to Network Solutions’ temporary “under construction” page in the midst of all that. It was not intentional.

So now I have to wait for the DNS to propagate through the Internet, a process that takes about 36 hours or so. Which meant that, for most of April Fool’s Day, I couldn’t do anything to my own web site. And as of this writing, I still can’t get my e-mail. WWW 1, Brandon 0.
