Sharing a nice 1U server called sasami.acornseach.com in a London hosting facility, Drobe are going to continue to provide news, but also a redesign to go back to their portal roots is on the cards. And in case you're worried everything's going to change, they'll still be accepting pizza bribes :)
Ian had problems with the last Acornsearch server - something I can totally sympathise with - so let's hope for plain sailing with the new location and wish everyone involved the best of luck.
