It seems all the back room stuff has been completed and the time has come to switch over to the new server. I have just changed over the name servers, so unless I have screwed that up, you should see an improvement in reliability and speed within the next 24 hours or so. From what I can gather from the error reports on the old server, it seems that my large number of US visitors are the cause of the problems. You guys from across The Pond seem to account for around half my traffic!
Not that I’m grumbling, I am always keen to evangelise shibari as done in Japan to countries that still worship false prophets in this area. When people cease to post replies to “How do I learn shibari?” that contain advice to study Two Knotty Boys tutorials, I will feel my job is largely done. This in not to say TKB don’t do excellent work. I admire what they have achieved, an unique style that is recognised throughout the world but is not what I call shibari by any stretch of the imagination, nor what my vision is about. They have also taught sound and safe techniques well, as far as I know, and introduced many to a type of rope work that has made a lot of people happy. You can’t argue with that. It’s just that I like to call a spade a spade and not a shovel. I will never critcise you for your choice of implement or what you chose to do with rope so long as it’s RACK. Just make sure you are not Risk Un-Aware.
