Title: Website and stuff
Post by: mirth on November 01, 2007, 12:16:01 PM
Hey there, users of the club website!

I have accepted a job offer and have resigned my current job as of the 21st. I have an upgraded Internet connection on order for my home, so my server will be moving from underneath my desk to my house.

There's a possibility that the club site may be inaccessible for a week or two, if the new service isn't installed in time. I'll know more as the days/weeks progress.

Congrats on the new job!

I guess this means you won't be able to administer the site from work anymore.  ;D

that remains to be seen. all signs so far point to no

Congrats Mirth!!

Hope the new job is closer & more $

Thanks for all you do keeping this site running, the very active message board is one of the best things about Discontinuum

Thanks Chris. Oddly enough, the new job is in Schaumburg.... so I'll be driving roughly the same distance every day.

Yeah, it would be nice to get some traffic on our site. Most of our members are not using this wonderful communication tool at this time. Please use it!!

=) Outage will last 24 hours tops.

sorry for that brief downtime. I was putting a new hard drive in my server so I can back up personal stuff from work before I leave.

Next planned downtime is scheduled for 11/16 when I bring the server home.

Hit Home when you're logged into the forum & then scroll down to the "Club Related" section

If you don't see it, send a PM to Mirth so he can give you permission.

Chris should be fine now. His account had never been updated to reflect his club member status.

Planned downtime for this evening is still on, pending the outcome of my new internet service installation today.
It should take up to 24 hours for the address change to propagate thru the internet.

The site will be going down around 5PM today. Server should be back online this evening sometime & fully available by this time tomorrow.

First off, thanks for all the work moving and maintaining the site Mirth.  I did get a Page Cannot be Displayed error about 45-60 min ago for less about 2-3 min.  Not complaining, but you asked.
Title: Re: Website and stuff
Post by: mirth on November 19, 2007, 09:08:18 PM
Yeah, that was me troubleshooting connectivity issues from my server to other places on the internet.

anybody having trouble posting?  I could not submit a post last night while at home (this morning too).  I tried logging out and logging back in, guess I'll have to see if there are any leftover cookies that need to be deleted too.  I'm posting from work right now, hope I find more success! :)

Jon has reported issues posting as well.

Post by: Bruce Brakel on November 20, 2007, 10:49:40 AM
I'm having posting issues too.  It's as if I'm barred from posting on certaqin threads.  Maybe I should be?   ::)

I'm going to be replacing my Internet gateway this evening to rule out my existing hardware. The site may be a little inaccessible after 8:00
Title: Re: Website and stuff
Post by: mirth on November 20, 2007, 06:46:05 PM
Did the router swap. The site went from somewhat inaccessible to totally offline.

My ISP is going to be sending me a replacement dsl modem as that is the next piece of hardware in the troubleshooting chain.

Those of you intermittently having troubles posting will likely continue to have posting problems for a couple more days. Sorry!
Title: Re: Website and stuff
Post by: Jon Brakel on November 20, 2007, 08:16:07 PM
I can post again!
Title: Re: Website and stuff
Post by: mirth on November 20, 2007, 08:20:45 PM
Okay. I *think* I have things a little better sorted out now. Please let me know if you continue to have problems.

Wanted to make a farewell post from my old job. Goodbye gateway.jccofchicago.org in the web reports!

I didn't think to make a shout out to the web reports from the Chef Solutions gateway before I left. Oh well!

Mirth, Stretch said that he "Got it!!!". I assume he means his Discontinuum bag tag. If his membership has gone thru, please change his message board status.

Thanks!

No evidence in the store of a purchased membership. No idea if ones have been sold in the wild. I'll wait until I have some kinda confirmation.....

I mailed it out Jon when I saw your post and store purchase.

Then that would explain it. I wasn't looking for Jon Brakel! =)
