Forum downtime

I'll be in Denver for about an hour on Jan 3...

Nope, I'll be a thousand miles away in California.    However, if you stick around Denver until June, I should be there. 

               Sorry about that,

...and I was there last July...  Looks like you missed both of us by half a year on either side.

Nah - I'll talk to myself   The significant other claims I do that anyway But I'm the only one around this household that ever listens to me

hehe... I know the feeling! 

[RobertB]

That must be my problem, too.  I will e-mail you from the work address.

I was able to get onto the forums today from the work address.  If this was because you have fixed things, thanks!

I removed some of the blocked IP ranges after noting that no further attacks were coming in. Curiously, a large chunk were of US military IP addresses, go figure!

I didn't do it!  I swear!   :cool:

Though I thought it was fixed, when I tried to get into the forums from work, your site could not be found.

What's your IP address Robert ?

[Andrew Wiskow]

Robert, if you're unsure of how to find your IP address, just go to http://www.whatsmyip.org/ and it'll tell you what your IP address in big, bold text along the top of the screen.

Thanks but I'm on vacation now.  Won't be back to work until January 12.

Oh, you mean you actually do work?  I thought you were always on vacation! 

[RobertB]

Nah, that's our club treasurer who retired a few years ago.  As he told me at last Sunday's FCUG meeting, every day for him is vacation!

Only five more years left until I get to retire...  Of course, I'll have to keep working somewhere else since military retirement pay really isn't enough to live off of.

The trick is finding a way to make money from something you would do for free. Earning a hobby-based income is a nice way to whittle away the years.

I'll have a lot of 'em to whittle away since I'll be retiring from the military when I'm 38.

Robert, if you're unsure of how to find your IP address, just go to http://www.whatsmyip.org/ and it'll tell you...

Done!  Sending Lance a personal message right now about the IP address.

Robert, are you having trouble accessing this forum from work again?  So am I!  Unfortunately, there aparently isn't anything that can be done about it until Lance gets back to Oz.  Oh well...  We'll just have to be patient.

Lance wrote that his housemate can look into it.

I'm guessing that's the guy who Lance left the e-mail address to write to if anyone had problems.  Well, I wrote to him as soon as the problem started happening again, and he said he wasn't sure how to fix it, and I'd have to wait for Lance to get back.

Several times today from work, I have read/logged into the forum without any trouble.  The problem may be fixed.

             Yay!

I'm off work until Thursday, so I'll try then and see if I can get on from work, too.

For some reason after I left the system reverted to blocking US military IP's......

Okay... I can be patient...  It just means I'll be getting more work done while I'm at work.
