DNS Problems
We have been having some DNS problems with VentureBlog and have been getting emails about some users being unable to access the site. I believe the problems are fixed but this is one of those classic hard-to-debug problems that happens intermittently and unpredictably. I know this logic doesn't work too well, but if you are not able to view the site, can you please email me at aa at augustcap dot com? Even better, do an nslookup on www.ventureblog.com and tell me what you saw.
Oh and we will start writing again soon. Venture guys take long holidays.

David... thanks although that's probably overkill for me, I host VB on my home network. It was actually a relatively trivial problem, it just was a bitch to figure out what was going wrong. I think we have it under control now...
These guys can monitor your site including DNS checks from different parts of the world:
