Service Disruption at planet.topicmaps.org

Hi all,

as you probably noticed, planet.topicmaps.org was offline most of the
weekend until Monday afternoon (European time). This was the result of
the transferral of ownership from the Standards Council of Canada to
Steve Newcomb who did the hosting and DNS management in the last 9
years already.

I want to say thank you to Steve Newcomb (from Coolheads Consulting)
and Zbigniew Ignatowicz (from the Standards Council of Canada) for
making this move finally happen.

The reason that http://planet.topicmaps.org was unavailable for longer
than a few minutes was not their but my fault. I was not clear enough
about the procedure when organizing the move, resulting in a HTTP-302
redirect forwarding instead of the intended DNS CNAME forward to
emnekart.bouvet.no. This is all fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience
this has caused.

I also want to thank Arnar Lundesgaard and his employer Bouvet for
providing the hosting for http://planet.topicmaps.org.

Regards,
Benjamin

PS: I received a lot of feedback for the http://www.topicmaps.org
website, most came from Patrick Durusau, Lars Heuer, and Robert Cerny.
I didn't manage to do any updates until now but will do some soon.
