Site Outage -- most of this afternoon (May 6th 2012)

[W4GPL]

Stuff was broke.

I fixed it.

Cool story. ;)

Sorry.

Just some networking glitches based on a new addressing scheme imposed by the server provider. Hope everyone took in a game of golf or something. ;P

For what it's worth, they gave me 3 months notice. I just failed to clearly read their instructions. It's my fault, they did everything they could to prevent this problem. Can't fix stupid (me).

I had to actually, you know, do radio stuff. The grandson was here so I got him to help me rehang my 40m wire after one of the support ropes broke.

[W4GPL]

Wish my slack ass nephew was cool enough to hang his grandmother's 40m antenna. Bastid. :)

Site outage = Good 'OL Boys Circle Jerk :rofl:

Go to your room, Bob.

Well, the gruntkid is only 11 so he wasn't all that much help but it was good to have a second pair of hands a couple of times. Saved me a few trips up and down the ladder, among other things.

[WØTKX]

Blame it on Burt. :lol:

[W4GPL]

;) My Mom has a really nice ladder dipole.

Catch her on 40 meters weekday mornings.

[W2NAP]

Blame it on Burt. :lol:

I shot a 107 this afternoon, improved on the second 9 with a 51.

Ok, I think we need an Island Change Control Board, to sign off on any major changes, especially those that create an outage. Then, we need a 24 hour notice for outages, unless approved by the Operations Manager and the CMFIC and the COOICOMFO (Chief Operating Officer In Charge of Mutha Fuckin Operations).

[KA9MOT]

I bitched about it on Facebook...... Don't let it happen again! ;)

[K7SGJ]

Boy, let a guy have a Birthday, and it goes right to his head. :hyper:

I built retractable trays for my Theta 7000/9000 keyboards, fixed my buddy's wife's motorcycle and tried to recover from last night.

Huh, another couch potato. :rofl:

I drove around a 200K course for a bike riding event scouting locations for temporary digipeaters.

Hmmmmm ....now where did I hear that before??

I sent a snarky e-mail to root cause analysis@.. isn't that enough? ;) .. cause that's what I'd normally do.

I'm not sure the HamIsland executive board would like it, but they're free to terminate my employment. :lol:

[N7YA]

I just sat here, cold and shivering, staring at a horrifying message about the site being down. I did this for many hours. I did not move until my beloved island returned.


I may need to sit here for a few more hours until i am strong enough to eat again.

[PA5COR]

After the Island disapeared i went to the other boards, took all of 5 minutes, and reluctantly started sanding and cleaning the woodwork in the hallway i need to paint today....
I promissed myself to take a fre day after 3 weeks of cleaning and painting in the garden and house, you made me do work on the sunday...
I'll have a talk with my psychiatrist today on the help line...

;)

I wasted the day at the Pittsburgh Marathon, and was too tired to do much once I got home. Never even noticed.

A peanut-butter enema should get you started. I'd avoid the chunky style.

[W5GA]

Gee, I didn't even notice...I was too busy putting wire in the air.

[KB3LAZ]

I didnt even know there was an outage. Must be the time difference.

HOA finally busted me for my sloppy method of getting the coax to the back yard, they told me to "reattach the cable coming out of the second story window"...they have no goddamn clue what they are looking at. Good thing they didnt venture into the back yard to see the big inverted Vee i got propped up there...their fat cantaloupe asses would never get out of the car to look, they just drive through, write a bunch of nonsense down and drive 30 miles back to their office in Henderson. Then they write fix-it letters to the entire complex to try and make some more money for themselves.

And compared to some HOA's, they are very mild!


See that cat below? ...thats what i envision them to look like from the front seat of their HOA dues-funded Lexus as they keep a Gestapo eye out for the tinyest weed along the side of the house..
