Hi, Walt
Noticed Newbies Forum seems to be down the past couple of days - that's not just me, is it ?
hope you're keeping well...
regards,

I hate to admit it, but I haven't been in over there for a couple months.
We had to move as a result of the financial meltdown, and my online time has been sparse. I haven't been here for quite a while either!
It came up to the login page when I just checked and I am now on my way to catch up on things.
EDIT: It looks like a database issue. This forum did the same thing some time ago when I broke something to the database. I don't know if John was upgrading it, or what. I'm gonna send an email to the rest of the mods when I finish here.
John's site seems OK; just the forum seems broken.
EDIT again: John thinks it has to do with the time change. He'll be spending time rebuilding things it seems.

Hope things get better with the meltdown... it's not helping here, either.
Funny thing about the change in time change dates - win machines don't seem to keep up with that... >.<
I see it's still malfing - but I don't get there much lately either...
Best to you,
rumbarg

I'm not sure when John will get to fix things; it seems that there is a lot that needs to be done to restore it (if it can be restored) I hope the database didn't get scrambled by whatever happened.
Win machines seem to make their own time changes...... (rednose)
I don't know what NL's host uses on their servers. I imagine an open source OS however as it seems you pay extra to get proprietary (M$, that is!). Mine runs BSD the last time I looked.
Well, time to head horizontal as I have one more day of training and an extra early start.
