    Default Website stuff

    Hi folks, it's me again....finally.

    I have a major issue with some background settings that make the site appear in your browsers. As a consequence, as I stuff about 'under the hood' so to speak, you may notice that the site disappears for a period of time. This period could be up to 48 hours but should hopefully be a lot less. This will happen in the next week or two.

    My own fault. I forgot to pay a bill

    PLEASE don't freak out if you get a 'site not found' error or something similar, it'll only be temporary.

    I missed when it was unavailable and was wondering how everyone was getting along. It is nice to have it running again.
    thanks!

    It was demoralizing not to be able to get to the site..... Glad it's back up. :-)

    ISP and DNS change?

    Hi Vdub, yeah I remember you are of a techincal mind Basically what happened is when I was away overseas the name server domain expired. I couldn't get it back out of redemption without paying $250. It was still working in that the site was available but I couldn't access the server at all and eventually of course the site would disappear. I elected to set up new name servers instead with one of the hundred or so domain names I have (don't ask lol). The dudes at the Data Centre were extremely helpful and it would have gone without a hitch except the domain that I chose to use for the new name servers was pointed elsewhere which I overlooked which destroyed everything until one of the support guys at the DC very gently pointed out what my issue was

    Andrew, I would be happy to send you a chunk of that $250 you had to shell out if you would let me know the best way to do so. Ron

    Thanks Ron! In the end i didn't need to pay the $250. I just did some work in the background to get around it. Thank you for the offer though, very kind
