Hey guys – just a quick post. Kip and I have been working flat out since about 7am this morning.
We were working on some new stuff for SwimmerBoyz.com and then about lunch time we had a server go offline (you might have seen this blog offline for about 3hrs). Turns out we had another hard drive failure. No biggie since everything is backed up and they just put a new one in. But this is like the 5th HDD failure I’ve had this year – I don’t think I’ve had 2 in the previous 5 years. Someone told me it has to do with the floods a little while back in Bangkok.
Anyways – all back and working now but if you see any problems you know we are on top of things.
Time for a drink and a hottub. Then dinner and then back to all the work I didn’t finish this morning.
I ABSOLUTELY HAVE to tell you guys about the speedo party on Saturday night – it was a great success and Kip and I finally made it to sleep as the sun was coming up. Since there were people in the house and there was a little bit of cleaning to do we didn’t get much sleep and worked through Sunday watching the Broncos go down again.
I’ll post some more of the juicier details tomorrow for you guys.
Hey guys – Friday afternoon I was pumped. I had done a bunch of work, had a nice social weekend lined up and I went for a 2hr walk along the beach.
I got back at about 5pm and BOOM – the shit had hit the fan!!!
At first Kip (my server admin) and I didn’t know what it was, we thought maybe a member had published their password but either way one of my servers had crashed. So instead of going for dinner with friends on Friday night I worked until 2am.
Turns out one of my servers had a hard drive failure. I just researched it and a hard drive has a .88% change of failure in a single year – this year thus far I’ve had 4 hard drive failures – must be all the speedo movies you guys are watching!!!
Things are all back online now after a pretty darn busy weekend. If any members of SwimmerBoyz.com or SpeedosNextDoor.com were effected – please contact me (DaveEvans@SwimmerBoyz.com or Webmaster@SpeedoMoviesPage.com) and I will make sure you get your money’s worth.
Sorry for any hassles and I’ll make it up to anyone who feels out of pocket.
Tomorrow I’m off to court to deal with my DUI or whatever we call it in Australia now. I’ve got a few projects and travel plans in the works but I didn’t want to confirm anything until I got this out of the road (I didn’t run or crash or anything – was pulled over by a booze bus a month or so ago). Tough weekend, tough Monday tomorrow but hopefully I’ll be in a much happier place this time next week.
This has been a tough week guys, a tough couple of weeks but that happens this time of year with moving and all.
Members of my site SwimmerBoyz.com will have noticed that this week I’ve been working on some server issues and everything is back running 100%. It has also inspired Kip and I to upgrade the movie server (this blog sits on that server) and I need your help.
If you’ve been thinking about joining my site SwimmerBoyz.com then now would be a great time for you to support me and this blog AND in the next 48hrs there will be an additional 3gig of movies being added to the site.
$14.95 is a 7 day trial membership – you can download all you can in those 7 days and see everything.
You guys are great and if you are in a position to help out it will be appreciated.
Giving a hand can be fun, these guys are getting a hand…..
