[2016-11-17] Sorry for the unexpected downtime!

This forum run on your home PC?
Where can I see the specs? :slight_smile:

No, fortunately! But it requires internet access for me to access the remote server, and my internet went down in the middle of the chaos of an unexpected upgrade snafu. :person_facepalming:

Ooooh makes sense, haha!

Thanks SB, for your Divine Intervention !

He is hard at work behind the scene

As he deftly tweaks his grand machine

And we're hardly aware

That he's always there

Gazing thoughtfully into his screen

The impossible he makes routine

And he buffs this place to a fine sheen

When opinions may clash

He perceives in a flash

If he should or should not intervene

I wonder if we truly know

All his efforts at keeping the flow

He strives for the best

Day and night without rest

His creation continues to grow

I've said it before and I'll say it some more :

Thanks for all you do , sb

Thanks sb. :+1:

Hey sb56637 - is that your real name?

:smiley:

SP

Rumour has it that sb’s second job is driving car’s, he is the Stig.

Thanks SB for all your work !

:beer:

I second that! :beer: :beer:

glad its just maintenance/upgrade issue

Thanks for the work again, sb!
(and Jack for another very nice poem)

+1thought the site got hacked.

Thanks sb for getting the site back up. Life is too boring without BLF :smiley:

Very nice Jack!! Many thanks to our resident poet.

Somehow I survived when the site went down during a reply :confounded:

But in all seriousness I did realize that I barely recall any outages happening on BLF. They used to happen quite frequently on other sites. All in all I hope every member realizes how smoothly BLF’s site is kept running & how much effort must be put in behind the scenes to do so.

Thank you SB :+1:

Thanks a lot to everyone for their sincere appreciation, it means a lot to me!

I rebooted and ran some maintenance just in case. Thanks you SB

Y eh, I kept getting DNS server not found….AAYYYYYYYYY!

Glad it’s back. Thanks to SB !! :+1:

ETA: WoW…just reallized this is an old thread,But I had problem getting to site this morn. Maybe it was just on my end???

I’ve been on all morning with no problems. BTW, I watched the video you sent me again today. It still cracks me up!

Yeh, but I noticed SB edited his first post above just yesterday I think. So there must have been a short term problem. Twenty minutes ago I got the “can not locate DNS server”……for about 5 minutes…then it popped up for me.

Oh well…
