...I'm just glad it's back up. Thanks, Adlon.

Thanks for bailing us out yet again Adlon!

The posting content in my blood was getting low for a while there. A whole weekend w/out ENWorld. Eeek.

Between 1:30 am to 2:15 a.m., I was on, when it went down.

AH, HAH!! Now we know who the culprit was......!!! It was Truth Seeker!!!!

Cyberstreet is NOT a cookie cutter web host company, where they can afford to have rotating shifts of 8$/hr monkeys sitting around waiting for a board to blow. It's a smaller, family owned and operated business. A business who works with their clients, rather than shutting a site off at a day past due on service fee's.

Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers, Adlon. Just curious and fondly remembering my days of being screamed at by customers.

For your efforts, sir, I say unto you: Booyah!

*blink...blink*

Wait...the last thing I was looking at, was Krug's new piece for the day...switch pages..then -click-....got that 'Error can't-find-server-page.'

At first, I though it was a hacker attack...honest*heavenly halo*...then I just felt, it might be a server issue, so...went to sleep thereafter.

Wait...I am NOT the culprit...we know there is some Enworlders that live in Florida...yeah...squeeze the ------, the orange juice out of them on this.

Now where is my orange juice squeezer?

punch cards mang. there are 10 kinds of people in this world. those who know binary. and....

i still love the old Cray computers in the NSA.


edit: ditto on the glad to be back and great work to get us here guys..

Heh, I've used punch cards. (Believe it or not there were punch card readers for the Apple ][. I got to be the lucky kid to transfer data from an ancient DEC to the more powerful and smaller Apple ][. The DEC was old enough to have a 200 baud modem designed to handle four computers at once, because one machine had no use for so much speed!)

Also data drums, stringy floppies, tape drives, hard sectored drives, and (horrors) a paper reel reader. (Like a very narrow punch card on very fragile paper, wrapped around a reel like an old fashioned tape player. Worst Idea For Data Storage Ever.) Though I only had to use APL once... To get the machine to transfer its data to the cards in a format the Apple could read. (All previous data having been saved on the aforementioned paper reels. Having to tape the paper strip, then poke a hole through the tape to copy the holes the tape covered was one of the most annoying jobs I ever had.) I had an easier time programming the Altair than trying to get readable data (most of it ignored for years before being copied over, and I am sure it was ignored again afterwards) out of that darned machine.

The Auld Grump, what was the topic again? Oh yes... Glad to see the boards back up, I have been having enough problems with my connections lately that I wasn't sure that my machine wasn't at fault.

*EDIT* Mostly because of an ongoing battle between XP SP2 Firewal and my remembering to turn it off while downloading stuff...

Glad Enworlds back, although my computer seemed to take paticular long to relize that it was up as now is the first time I could acctually connect. Still I know well enougth that such things happen an I'm not complaining. I'm just happy its back.

Just my 2¢. Cyberstreet's service is standard for co-lo centers. It is the client's server and they are expected to maintain, fix, update, etc. it. Remember EN World is co-located at Cyberstreet not hosted by Cyberstreet. In my opinion Cyberstreet went far above and beyond the call of duty for a co-lo. I personally see zero room for criticism against Cyberstreet.

Hey cool, the board's back again! Just wondering what the problem was this second time? Wonderful to see it was fixed so quickly again, but my curiousity is blooming... was it the motherboard again, or something else?
