Title: Down Time
Post by: Mince on October 03, 2015, 05:24:54 PM
The Beau Peep board has been down twice now for several hours. Apparently our host, the until recently lovely Arvixe, have been acquired by EIG, which might as well stand for Extremely Irritating Gits. If it gets too bad, I will move the site again to a host not owned by EIG.

We can't keep moving every time the authorities give us trouble.

Hang on - wasn't that a line from 'Fiddler On The Roof'?

I saw that in a theatre with Paul Michael Glaser as Tevye.

It's one of my all-time favourites. I always wanted to be Tevye - so much so, that I had four daughters (gave up on the ambition before going for the fifth). Tradition!

Back on topic, this drivel was down for most of the day yesterday. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Hang on - Paul Michael Glaser was in the film as young Perchik, the revolutionary. Must have seen sense.

The site seems to have settled, and has been online now for 36 hours. However, I don't trust a company that just lets your site go down for hours on end without warning or updates, so I am asking for a refund and then moving Cameldung to a new host not owned by EIG.

Seems like a plan, nice work my friend, now if you could just arrange a weekly delivery of chocolate cookies...

Did you just, ever so slightly, steal my cookies?  Quick quiz for you Diamond Lil...who were the tree people?

The uptime for this site for the last seven days has been 99.67%. It still needs to be better than that, so I'll keep monitoring.

That's very conscientious of you, Mincey, but try to get some sleep. I'll do a shift for 20 minutes on Thursday.

You really ought to get that 'f' key fixed on your keyboard.

I have just moved us to a new host. I hope everyone notices a speedier and more reliable notice board.

Thank you, Mincey. 

The smileys selector on my iPad are all coming up as empty boxes with question marks in them. Okay, so that means they're not empty, but you know what I mean. No smileys. You can click them, but you don't know which one is which. It's a bit like Russian Smiley Roulette.  :o ..0 :'( ;D

The title of this thread grabbed me. "Down Time". I suppose it was too much to hope that it would be along the lines of "the complete history of the world", and would in fact be a thread with far less gravitas...  ..0

It's actually the new song from my pet, MC Duck.

Freshly polished beak and webbed shoes
And my dancing flipper feet all covered in tattoos,
Quacking about in the altogether,
Showing off my body and my softest feathers.

I told you, homeboy: can't touch these!
