Is the current server the cause of brief "outages" I've been experiences at least once a day? I click on a post or thread and it grinds and gives me an error page. I try once more and still no forum. I go off and do something else for a few minutes and come back to a working forum again.

 

or am I just jinxed?

 

 

:roflmho: YOU'RE JINXED!!!

 

And so was I. Oh boy! This is going to give me withdrawal symptoms! :wacko:

 

Thanks, for working towards a better FPN!

 

I will only lose an hour since I work nights, I head off for work at 1730 and don’t get back until about 0700, and since I am asleep until 1700 ...

 

But i hate not being able to do a quick check before heading to work.

I hope the server switch helps everything to run even better!!

 

I started to whine about no FPN, and suddenly realized that here we are a bunch of great folks, interesting, intelligent, good looking (mostly) and we can't think of anything else to do on a Friday night but chat about pens (not that that's a bad way to spend time!).

 

Think I'll ask my honey out to eat and then dust off the stadium seat and hit the local High School Football game!

We believe that these outages are due to the current server.

 

 

Thanks, Elaine. I haven't kept up with technical issues (other than the image thing which is no biggie) so I imagine this has been discussed at length and I just didn't know. :) Thanks for the info. Good luck to the Team in this lovely process! :)

Some of us need 24 hours to panic. Texas is a big state, we have lots of room to roam while in our FPN-withdrawal daze.

Doesn't Friday come earlier someplace?

Oh, good gawd. I am a (bleep). :headsmack: Yes, today is Thursday, isn't it? At work today we kept saying how it felt like a Friday...(heavy sigh). Pre-panicking is kinda my thing, though. :embarrassed_smile:

Oh, yeah? Only four hours? I bet! Last Friday, Wickedweasel.com was supposed to be "down" for only a "few hours" for a website remake. In truth, it was down for five days! (As were most of its more ardent fans :P ). I trust that such an unfortunate occurrence will not befall our beloved FPN. At my age, pen porn takes precedence over bikini porn. ;)

I am as addicted to this place as the next person - but really, do we have nothing better to do on a Friday night than sit around on the computer?

 

While the admins tear their hair out getting the new server working, I will be taking my kids to the Pumpkin Prowl at the Seattle zoo. The rest of you, raise a glass of the black stuff to the hard-struggling admins.

 

Isn't the current server in a closet in CAMs house in Scotland somewhere? The move to MT shouldn't be that bad. Back it up on punch-cards, row them across the Irish Sea, load them into the babbage and your done!

 

But what I don't get is with Admin in NYC, Dublin, Swinden, Mastericht, Ottowa and Malaysia, why are you using Central Daylight Time?

(and of course the greatest thanks to the admin for all their hard work enabling our addiction!)

So if you have a lot of ink,

You should get a Yink, I think.

That's NJ, not NYC B)

 

It's central time because a mysterious super IT guru lost a bet with a leprechaun and this is the price he has to pay. He lives in the Central zone.

I'm off to a lovely dinner with my wife. A nice place. I decided to treat us to night out as my thanks for her putting up with this hobby, this forum (and all the time I spend here), and all the purchases you've all forced on me. Of course, the reservations I made are at a restaurant a half-block from the pen shop....no coincidence, I assure you. :roflmho:

 

Enjoy some time away, all. Get out and USE those pens that we talk about so often.

 

Admins and gurus....godspeed, and thank you!!

Ooops - sorry. I was confused between you and Auntie Rebecca (I'll bet that's a first).

 

So will we ever know whose closet this server is in?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
