Site maintenance: planned server migration

The server move I indicated earlier will take place on Monday, September 10th around 11:00 GMT+1. After the new server is installed in the datacenter, I will start updating the DNS records for all hosted domains. This DNS transition is expected to be seamless.
Update on September 11th, 2007: the new server has been successfully installed and if you're reading this, everything is working perfectly. The DNS entries will be gradually updated across the world over the course of a week and the old server will be shut down when the migration is finished.
The new server is handling the load very well and the two-hundred-fold bandwidth increase is very noticeable, especially when downloading images and audio from the website. Speaking of which, with the new server available it won't be long before I'm launching the brand new Audio Units website.
