You never know how much you'll miss something 'til it's gone...

Advise your hosting service to install a dry (argon/halon) fire suppression system. 99.44% of the time with wet systems the water does more damage than the fire--this is true in almost every industry, but more so in server rooms.

On Sunday the 4th @ 3:00 pm or so their hosting service lost power and a generator caught fire triggering sprinklers.  (Read more here...)

Poor design, "sprinklers" and "data center" do not belong in the same sentence. They did get it back up in pretty good time all things considered...

Yep, took down a lot of sites.  We had a backup but needed to provision a new server and reinstall, which is not the most fun. Plus, we have been with them for 6 + years with no major issues and were hoping to be down for only a day through Monday. Happened around 6pm EST Sunday. They really couldn't definitively tell clients exactly who was most affected until Wednesday (we were).  It might be weeks still, so we got a new server yesterday with a different company to get back online asap.  We are still waiting to see what they say about our old sever or rebuild.  Overall they provided good service and affordability. You really need a good server and not just shared hosting to operate a forum and not have it lag too much. Our old server is still not up and sounds like its swimming with the fish...

I had posted some updates on facebook and twitter as I really couldn't email anyone with the server being offline.  I'm happy you guys missed it (as crazy as that sounds), makes it more worthwhile !

I have been using DirectNIC hosting  for my site (www.paladinmicro.com) for over 20 years without a hitch. They were in New Orleans during Katrina and were humping 55 gallon druns of diesel up 9 flights of stairs to keep their generators running--not down for even a millisecond--good guys. I haven't done much with my site since I retried in late 2015 but I get my email service from them and use it for file hoisting.

Nice! They've been around for a while, but I think its only shared hosting, no dedicate servers. We have  a dedicated self managed server so typically we are renting directly from a company that has its own data center or metal boxes.

That is correct--it's nice to be in direct control...

I'm sure daddy can arrange for him to sit on another board of a corporation, or give him a position in his administration. After all, he certainly deserves it. 

Don't you feel bad for him? Maybe we should put together a GoFundMe page and help him out.

well, he is qualified for so many positions... like Secretary of Parks, Mines and Playgrounds ...or maybe he could be head of committe to observe the rate which grass grows ...ot study the effects of sunlight on nocturnal creatures or any of those globally important things ..After all,  He was on the board of a huge Natural gas Company when the only gas he knew anything about was his own farts ..

      The conversion took about 350lbs. off the vehicle.  It never rode great, but now I feel every  crack in the road.  I have backed off spring compression nut to the point just under where they would move around if suspension was at full extension, but it is still very stiff.  I would like to put some softer coilover springs on it, but I have no idea what the spring rate is with the original springs so I would just be guessing on what to order.  Does anyone have the data for the original spring compression rate?  I am willing to give up a little ground clearance for a softer ride. Right now when sitting still the rear suspension is at or near full extension and the rear tires have several degrees of camber which will cause uneven wear if allowed to continue in this state.

      Good afternoon. When the timing chain came off its lower gear (previous owner had over-tightened the tensioner), I ordered new parts.. chain, oil-pump chain, tensioner etc.. But now that it's time to put it back together, the main crankshaft makes a clang noise and stops when you turn it by hand. I want to solve this before assembling everything. The camshaft cover is off so that the valves aren't being activated. Should the transmission be in neutral to turn the crankshaft? The engine was running fine until the chain came off the lower gear. Then it would spin when the starter motor engaged so I assumed the crankshaft was spinning. Any advice is appreciated.

      That's the question! Or, if you want to add details:
      (a) How do you use the UTV? (roads? off-road to get to trees? etc.)
      (b) If you are wearing a helmet--how frequently? What type of helmet?
       
      My own answers: (a) Most of the time off-road to get to downed trees, cut the trees to logs and haul the logs back for splitting. (b) Very rarely, a ski helmet and not a motorcycle helmet.

      This is the 2020 updated version from the previous 2009 version.  I do not know all the differences.  I do know the 2020 models have throttle body , idle air control valve, & idle control sensor.
