new server

[Paul Clerkin]

Migration to the new server is now underway - you may and probably will notice strange stuff over the next week.

Major changes to come this week:
the website is now archiseek.com
irish-architecture.com and archeire.com will be relegated to ireland.archiseek.com

[GrahamH]

What's the official pronunciation by the way?

The versions I've heard are wild and varied (well, all two of them).

Generally assumed it to be ark, but your online head tends to speak in tongues where it's lodged as arch...

[Peter Fitz]

Good question ! never quite know what to call it myself ... used to say arch cause of the way archeire was written but reckon arc is the 'correct' way for archiseek ! ?

[Paul Clerkin]

i always call it archie-seek

[ctesiphon]

Well you're the boss...

I call it Ark-a-seek, but I've heard it called Ark-ee-seek, Archie-seek, Archis-eek, and 'that website about Irish architecture'.

[GrahamH]

Yeah it's often handier just to say irisharchitecture.com . Certain people, notably Gardaí (cough), tend to look at you like you've two heads...

But generally archie seek rolls of the tongue better than ark.

once i get it all migrated (hugh's site as well) i'm going to upgrade a few things like the forums...
already updated the rss feeds this week

Almost all services except for the forums are now operating from the new server.
We will probably have to turn off the forums for a few hours later in the week, but we'll try to do it as late as we can, and as quickly.
