Default Re: Gandalf\'s Servers

Updates:
Main desktop computer: still down.
Old desktop computer: still slugging away. (knock on virtual wood)

Main internet server: still down.
This affects many of the free accounts I provided. Zen, Targa, Alneyan, Ballbarian, lch, and many others. Im sorry for your items being unavailable. Also of course Dom2Minions.com, Dom3minions.com, Ballbarians excellent random generator, lch's multiplayer games, and many other domains for various games and interests of mine. One should get special note. The ShazzyShard private Ultima Online server pages are down, but the game server itself is up since I did not host that world but just the web pages. (still debating UO, WoW, SWG, CoH worlds for hosting)

Old internet server: still sludging away (knock on virtual wood again)
Other than many old Dom2minions things such as daily generating of random maps which I just never bothered to take down, it also means that the smaller games are still running. Blitz games http://game.dom3minions.com/bin/blitz_chk.cgi should be working fine, and are updated to the latest version of Dom3. Also the Shadowdale MUD (play.SDmud.org 7777) world is still running altho the SETH bot project is on hold (it was hosted on the main server) and of course the SDmud.org web pages are down. One Space Empires IV private game is still hosting from the old server, and one Stars! private game. The Dominions 3 Mid-sized games, Demo games, and Mega games died from lack of interest. It can host more but other than a request from Cor to bring up the blitz server for his group, I havent received any and even that one seems to be dying off again.

general update
While I do have the concern of the budget manager for my mental health Im afraid that repairs of my toys are still not at the top of the needs list. And considering what is on these machines, Im not tempted to tackled it as a do-it-yourself effort. If this causes anyone extreme problems then please contact me and I will try to make other arrangements to at least get your stuff online someplace.
