We’re going to try to release another beta of CityDesk today.

At the same time, we’re shifting stuff from an older server to a spiffy new one. (Is that asking for trouble, or what?) While that happens, the discussion groups may be a little flaky.

I hate the way that when I change a server’s IP address, even though our TTL is set to 15 minutes, people are still using the old IP address almost a week later. Why is that?

About the author.

In 2000 I co-founded Fog Creek Software, where we created lots of cool things like the FogBugz bug tracker, Trello, and Glitch. I also worked with Jeff Atwood to create Stack Overflow and served as CEO of Stack Overflow from 2010-2019. Today I serve as the chairman of the board for Stack Overflow, Glitch, and HASH.
