Massive, massive apologies for all of the downtime experienced today.

There was a problem at the datacentre, specifically a routing problem. Completely beyond my control, so all I could do was sit here and wait for them to fix it, which is an incredibly frustrating position to be in when I know lots of people have been wanting to access the forum just like I have.

These things happen, and thankfully rarely, but we're back now and hopefully normal service will be resumed.

Again, apologies - I've been tearing my hair out all day waiting for the problem to be resolved, I'm almost bald now! :unsure2:

Have a nice cuppa and vape Jackie - you tweets were getting slowly more stressed out :)
I won't slave for beggar's pay,
likewise gold and jewels,
but I would slave to learn the way
to sink your ship of fools

We knew it wasn't your fault, Jackie, and also beyond your control. No need to apologise for that.

I guessed it was something like that. No need to apologise Jackie, there's nothing you could do about it.

Definitely time for tea and relaxation. :)

It'll all end in beers.

E-cigs are not "quit smoking" devices - they are an alternative way to smoke, but with a much reduced risk profile. Believe this - it's true. E-cig users are NOT quitters.

Thanks guys - I always feel responsible even if it's not really my fault, just the way I am I guess. :)

I'd just spent 30+ mins writing a carefully considered post on rprens atomiser design thread, the site went splat when I submitted it.

My fault, sorry everyone, especially Jackie ... :banghead:

Normally when writing more than a few words I write it in open office then copy paste when I'm ready to post, that way if you nuke the server all is not lost Posted Image
