Flush twice, and make sure it goes down the right tube

All morning long, fighting it out with a guy who's changed his registrar information from his old host to his new host, but he's still getting the old host when he goes to the URL.

I check from work. I check from home. I check from various test reflectors.

It's all going to the right place.

Diagnosis: proxy, firewall, or some other device has cached the old numbers, needs to be flushed.

You know, so his crap goes down the tube and makes it all the way there. Right, Senator Ted Stevens?

Speaking of flushed, I keep trying to flush this guy, but he keeps coming back.

Enough with asking nicely. Enough with It puts the lotion in the basket or it gets the hose calmly. Time to move Put the fucking lotion in the basket.

Sure enough, he wants to call to talk about it.

Nothing to talk about. It's not us. It's you.

No. A thousand times no. I'm not your damned psychologist or personal coach or some huge-chinned motivational speaker.

When I go to lunch to eat my salad, I'm going to eat the hell out of it. Torture every leafy bit between my jaws. And make... it... suffer.

It might be his internet provider. I know because this happened to me when I moved to my current host. I couldn't do anything on my site because I kept going to the old one, no matter what I did. Everybody I knew saw the new one, but I couldn't.

I don't remember exactly how I figured it out, but phone calls to my provider did no good. Then I found the forums for broadband companies and there was a tech from my provider there and he responded. He had access to programs and areas that phone support didn't know about or something and it turned out of all the machines my provider has, one wasn't set properly to update DNS. And that was the one that had my account. Once I was armed with the proper information on what to tell tech support for my IP, we were able to get it resolved.

But it was frustrating to say the least. I mean, how do you get other people to hear the voices in your head?

I ruined my string with a BK stacker.
