Morris Minor Owners Club

only an hour and a half this time though...

I'm wondering, has the site been subject to a denial of service attack for some reason????

Longer than that Ray, most of the day in fact just popping on sporadically (or however you spell it)
CJ thought about a dos attack but its doubtful. The powers that be should be having some answers by now from the hosts - especially as they were 'keeping an eye on it'

Not sure about this morning (I was busy sleeping) but it worked from 12:00 to 14:00 then came back at 15:30 and has been on ever since.

Still being investigated by the service provider - andI'm checking the logs - when I'm not at work.

just managed to get on been off since saturday had fun with passwords and confermation codes

Many thanks for your work on this Jon!
Hope you get it resolved ASAP so we can all give you a break ;-)

getting really sad now - logged into a unix shell and checking the running processes!

What's sad about that? (guess what I do all day at work...)

We usually refer to the unix lot as the 'short trouser brigade' - my normal work involves......COBOL

Do you still have to prepare your work on punched cards and send them off every night for the operator to feed into the mainframe?

not quite. I did use a hand punch for my first ever program though!

wow! now even I'm impressed by that
I wrote my first program on a ZX80.

Actually that was my first full time job program. My first was on a machine that stored its programs onlittle magnetic cards - maximum of 1000 steps (where goto label was 3 steps!) that was about 1977.

nearly forgot - when my nerves recover, I'll tell you about the last outage!
