Server downtime
Server has been down for the past few hours, Thankfully this was not down to anything I did for once!
Word on the street is that someone left a bottle of Lucozade next to Harry, and he drank the whole lot.. It made him super hyperactive to the point where spinning his wheel caused a lot of friction caused the whole thing to glow red hot.. It created a huge gravitational wave which sent the server back in time causing a massive explosion in tunguska...So finally that mystery is solved.
Thankfully Harry was cloned and now back on his wheel turning casually to generate power for the server. Lesson learned, don't leave Lucozade next to Hamsters!

Re: Server downtime
Wow.. that's the longest you've been off line in years. There for a minute I thought you turned @rubber_jonnie loose with a soldering iron.

Re: Server downtime
Lurking on Facebook from my last sight of a post by him a day or so ago. I think he's steering clear of anything ST these days though on account of the Satan connection.PaulJ wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 10:01 pmYa, do you know where Russ is?rubber_jonnie wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 9:56 pmAnyhoo, my soldering iron is in storage for another 3 months so neh neh to you.
He may still own his mainboard scorching machine though.

Re: Server downtime
Nope he was on FB a few days ago announcing he had a huge cache of Atari software and was locking for recommendation on a program to rip it. I wish Russ would return.. never ending entertainment.rubber_jonnie wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 10:12 pmLurking on Facebook from my last sight of a post by him a day or so ago.

Not to mention a big boost for Exxos's marketing.
