I took my whole computer apart thinking it wasn't working.  I sprayed a whole half can of WD-40 into it and put it back together but the site still wasn't working.

I'll know better next time, not to waste so much WD-40.  Stuff seems to fix most anything else.

Glad it's back, and thanks for the hard work to maintain it.

It put an amazingly large hole in my browsing habits having it gone!  Shocked

KA2DZT, did you bash it a few times first?  That seems to work with the Tardis a lot!

Thanks Steve for getting things back and running.   I had the laptop up at NEAR-Fest and saw the "crap-out"!

You can slow it down by replacing those 12AX7's with 12AU7's for those still on dial up!

It has been proven that 12AT7's would improve performance in the area of DSL speed!  DSL is still somewhat slow but my experience is that at least its steady at that speed. DSL's are like being on a private line and are not shared like cable..

What with the " failed attempts to engage site" messages and getting same message on three computers my first thought was that you'd been hacked.
Next thought was by who.
Whew!

And for getting the site back up,  how about we all get Steve a pair of push pull 807s?  Cold,  of course!

Best idea yet.

I had to dredge up long lost (and not very proficient) Unix skills to get it done.  Tongue
