Is www.idnet.com down for anyone else, I get a 503 Service Temporary Unavailable error?
Yes!
Yep :thumbd:
It may also be related to my momentary outage of my internet (sync stayed up). Perhaps just a glitch.

It's a long glitch. IDNet.com is still down for me.
I'm getting the 503 error too, although I've been connected since the disconnect on Friday.
Happened over the weekend too but with a different error message.
Not thinking of abandoning ship, but it's getting a bit unstable round here lately.
Its down here as well still trying ???
what is IDNet.com ive always been sent to .net as far as I know and its ok for me
It's working this morning.

In what way, Drummer. I've noticed two outages recently, one due to BT working on a central, the second due to a network upgrade to IPv6 late on Boxing Day. This specific issue will have been a server falling over and needing a re-boot.

You can use either, Baz. The com domain came after the net.
fine for me now :thumb:
Yep, working again for me now.
I reported this last night, as noted in the other thread (http://www.idnetters.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=11916.0), which I haven't got to yet. According to Simon, the server seems to have developed some "intermittent instability", which he is investigating.
I bet the server is sulking because everyone else got a holiday. :)
I bet Simon is as well! ;)
:lol:
Not when I phoned him on Christmas Day. ;)

not everyone, I ended up working on Xmass day (and boxing day) and mon/tues/wed & today as well.
seems servers just know when its holiday time and thats when they decide to through hissy fits and blow up psu's and hard drives (luckily all redundant ones so no outage just a pain in the neck visit to docklands)
Sorry to hear that, Dean. Did you give Samson a pat while you were there? :)
would have used my new adjusting tool....a 2Kg splitting maul (with a 3 foot handle).....
splits large logs nicely, when i get a misbehaving server they had better watch out!!!
strange that after telling servers about my new tool they suddenly start behaving.
and yes at work i have a reputation,
I am the only person ever to throw a server from a forth storey building. It landed in the skip but bounced out.

Sounds like a good tool for 'formatting' a hard drive. :)
No i did not try again, when it bounced out of skip it landed about 2 metres from a car which i later discovered was one of the bosses.
It also fell into about 3 pieces, damm thing had been a pain in the side for about 2 years (cost cutting the company changed "preferred" manufacturer-only lasted for about 2 months, then they saw error of not listening to the people that worked on them), always going wrong, spares not avalible off the shelf usually a week lead time. down to our last 2 that are still out in the field.
yes you guessed it, it was a d*ll. finally got it replaced with a real server and i was told "we can use it for spares or use it as an in house server" hence i accidentally tripped up, struggled to get my footing and accidentally let go of it right by an open window with a skip below, totally accidental you understand :whistle:
Hence my reputation.
;D
Remind me not to let you near any of my boxes, Dean. :)
Trever on the other hand... >:D
Ouch! :D
I suspect he's long since gone to that great skip in the sky. :)

But not before passing on some bad habits to the other servers! Seems to be down again ;D
I'll call.
I only wanted to check last months usage, np for me i'll check another time. :thumb:
I can tell you what mine was, Ted, if that would help. ;D (Do you not use the RSS feed?)

No, i don't use the RSS feed. TBH i hardly ever check, its only when i think its been a heavy month, what with the girls on school holidays and such.
Well, i wouldn't want to overcharge them for the extra GB's, would i. :whistle:
A ha! Liftoff. :thumb:
:clever: :solved: :bow: :thumb: :thumb: Rik
And I wasnt even trying to get on ;D

What are you charging now, Ted, £5/GB? :)

Half an hour or so, not bad for a weekend. ;)

I'd better remember to keep quiet if I ever meet them. ;)

Yep, mum's the word. I'll only deny it anyway :dunno:
Just setup an RSS feed to Thunderbird for usage stats, "you know it makes sense". :thumb:
I've found it handy, Ted. It supplements any official 'warnings' which come out from IDNet.
I think i've found the answer to that pesky server. Set one of These (http://www.101gear.com/product.php?prid=211612&pn=Mini-Drinking-Bird) up, near the reset button, job done. :whistle:
:rofl: :karmic:
And so simple to implement. :)
