If you're off work, could be a good time to do the jobs on the Mig - just make sure you don't need any maintenance guides.

Apparently there's a hand brake on my car with a return spring missing on each side ............ I could maybe look for where they should live  ::) ::)

Cheers for the heads up. I will be wrapped up in bed that day with a cold sweat, shot full of Valium and all sharp instruments will be removed. Anybody else who will be suffering withdraw is more than welcome to share my bed but under no circumstances is pooing in the bed allowed.  :P

Now delayed to next Thursday.

Reminder, we expect to be offline for a significant part of Thursday.

This has been compounded by a problem affecting OOF'd authorititive DNS servers - one is dead, the other is hanging on by a shoestring.

As you probably saw, all outage work was completed between 8 and 9am this morning :D

We still have a broken DNS server, so may end up with some glitches around that whilst we (our primary DNS is here, secondary DNS is operated by Logitel) work through the very, very bizarre problem.

I've been waiting for it to go off all day and now I find out it was all done while I was laying a transatlantic cable ::)

Another secondary DNS server built and configured as a temporary measure, thanks to New City Design.

Hopefully, it should all be working well now, and hopefully more reliability now.


I need to replace a failing mains socket, and move the server back to its usual location, probably be 2 seperate outages. Will probably do early next week.

Indeed we are, taking up the space previously occupied for the past month by my brother's server, which has at last made it back to his shop...
