News, please!!
Hello Techies :)
OK, the site speed is a lot faster, and I haven't had the 'unavailable/no nodes' message now for....oooh, days!!
So what's next? You've all gone very quiet! What about our pm's, the 'read last posts' button......and of course the SMILEYS!! :D ;o)
Bank hols are over now, you know, lol.
Thank you in eager anticipation.
I don't think my stocking's big enough to fulfill my wishes, LB ;o)
And get off my thread.......this isn't about what a lovely time you're having! Now be a good boy and go back to dozing in your deck chair, hehe.
Not sure I want to get in the way of what seems to be a beautiful friendship here...
Now be a good boy and go back to dozing in your deck chair, hehe.
Hmmm that's a sore point. I didn't bring any chairs because I didn't want to tempt fate :O(
This is the reason I logged on to find the nearest caravan accessory shop, B&Q or Argos to see who has the best deal on LaFuma chairs. You can see how the heat must be getting to us to pay silly money for a bit of woven plastic on an aluminium frame ... heh! heh! heh!
Since I made my last post we took the dogs for their dumps and now can only get a GPRS connection :O(
Oh!!! Hello JD, welcome back, did you enjoy your hols? Ready to get back to working on the forum upgrade and all our requested stuff? :D
(I'm ignoring LB, he might take the hint and do as I asked, lol)
I had a lovely holiday, thank you - can highly recommend Camping les Ormes in Lot-et-Garonne, east of Bordeaux. The website makes it look tent-centric, but there were plenty of vans there, pitches were big and costs fairly reasonable, exchange rate hell notwithstanding. Oh and I saw one of these, which has made me almost want to get a caravan...
Anyhoo...seems you had a lot of fun while I was away, and I have to say a big thank you to Austin, Laura, Steve and Farhan (with able assistance from Gareth and Colin) who went above and beyond to sort out the issues you were having, and we certainly appear to have resolved the fundamental issues we were having at a server level, sorting our performance and the 'nodes' problem. Obviously now there are some other things we also want to sort out (a list of about 33), and we've been taking a few days' stock to try and prioritise our workload both here and on other sites. I'm going to post a list of those issues shortly, in vague priority order ('see all latest posts' is near, but not quite at, the top of the list!) so that you can see where we're at and watch progress. How's that?
Good stuff, thank you!
(See, persistence pays off, lol)
Is it persistance, the flutter of a female eyebrow or female nagging that has made the techies sit up and take notice. Incidentally this is yet another flagerant go at my dear friend Lord B. LOL I am sure the good sir and his lady wife are having a relaxing break away in the van without the hussle and bussle of normal home life on their estate. I should imagine that the milk maids, servants, etc. are coping well in their absence.
Call it what you will, Colin.........who cares, so long as it works, hehe
This is it you see Sue - a lady has the power to charm any male into all forms of submission. At times like this the male species is the weaker sex.
I'm gobsmacked.
I'm on the CC Englethwaite Hall site in Cumbria and didn't expect to get a connection on my laptop so this is the first time I've used it. Not only did I get a connection with VodaFone but it was 3G+.
Logging into this site is also a vast improvement so lets hope that Sooze gets what she wants in her Christmas stocking :O)
Oh, and since we've been here it's been sunny. The good Lord surely does shine on the righteous :O)
