PBW Server is down - and back up again

Sorry folks. Looks like the glitches today were a symptom of a greater problem. The server is down. Not bootage at all. Some kind of a hardware problem.

I'll take it into the shop on Thursday, they are all closed tommorow. How long we are down depends on what they find I suppose.

Fortunatly thanks to your generosity we have a little money in the account to play with. If the problem is not too serious we should be able to get back up and running soon.

*dumbluck contemplates finally sending in his PBW donation: a quarter a week. Or was it supposed to be a day?

Will make my long overdue donation through paypal when it's back up!

I thought it was supposed to be a quarter a day?

But I think PBW the gang would appreciate a quarter a second

Donations go through paypal, not the PBW server. So if you feel the motivation to give, you can do it even when the server is down.

I did some tests and it appears the problem is more than just the power supply as I had hoped. We should still have enough in the account to cover the repairs, but it may be just enough.

If you wish to donate to help replenish the fund for the monthly expenses you are welcome to do it anytime.

EDIT: Hmm, I tired putting a donate button in my sig, but it didn't seem to work right. Here it is.
