mskfisher's Journal: DNS on fire

A story on the front page two weeks ago pointed out Verisign's intent to speed up DNS updates. The stated date was September 8.

Well, I just registered http://www.mattfisher.name/ tonight - the whole process, including name server propagation (to my location, anyway) took less than 20 minutes.

I'm impressed.
So, that begs the question - does it work for all of y'all? Or was I just in a fortunate corner of the 'net?

I'll even make it a poll:

• a) Got it.
• b) Don't got it.
• c) Don't have the ability to look up name records... as far as I know, this site is named 1109654166, you insensitive clod.

Site works here

[glh]

Works for me, and I'm checking it from work. We use VAXes for our DNS servers, so I'm guessing it's probably propogated fairly well by now...

Also, site looks great! I wish I had html skillz like that. My sites look pretty blah in comparison. What did you use for making the images?

Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with the speed of propagation. That's really cool.

Thanks - I put a decent amount of work into that initial design (has it almost been 2 years?). It's actually due for an update, and I think I'm going to go with CSS 3 and XHTML 1.1.
I used Photoshop to create the images, and I used CSS to style everything else. If you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to set up a JE for it - or you can ask by email.

Works here too in .gov land.

Uh - very clean site...

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? :)

In any case, it's going to be changing in the next month or so... I've learned some new HTML tricks, and I'm itching to try them out.

a got it

[TechnoLust]

I clicky clicky and I get a website, so I guess it works. :-)

Don't use XHTML

[superyooser]

I was an enthusiastic advocate of XHTML until I read this: Don't use XHTML [hixie.ch].
