Nope. I've been really slow at times or cannot connect. Keith |

I'm having problems now, and this morning I pretty much couldn't get to the site at all. I didn't try it during the afternoon. In fact, this is my third try on this post. |

The Alembic site is always painfully slow for me, so I haven't really noticed any difference. I usually click to post, surf on another tab for a bit, then check back to see if the page has loaded yet.. :P John Happy New Year, everyone! (headed out to "Gig Hell, Wallet Heaven" in a bit) |

John; posting is always slow, which a think is related to the software we use, but I'm having problems just getting pages to load. |

As far as posting speed goes, it was very quick after the last time Mica did some database maintenance. It must have been either a restoration or a re-indexing. I suspect there is something wrong in the basic architecture of the boards package that the database gets slow so quickly. I did get a couple of "server down" situations today, but nothing that lasted more than 5-10 minutes. |

So far, it seems to be much better today; of course, it is a completely different year today than yesterday. |

Dave, I also tried to enter the site about seven or eight hours ago, and it was just impossible to get into the club... i was wondering if you received my member fee in time ;-) |

Christian; try resending the member fee. Also, sometimes raising the level of the fee helps. |

Really bad weather here, lots and lots of rain. I expect there to be some periodic server problems for the rest of the day. |

Hey Dave, if I send you $100, can I get the password for the section with the nude instruments? Bill, tgo P.S. Intermittent problems getting on the site this morning. We're getting a big storm out here right now. Of course one must keep in perspective that a California "big storm" may not be all that big by other geographical standards. (In N.Y. people don't go this nuts unless there's at least 3' of snow). |

"Really bad weather here, lots and lots of rain. I expect there to be some periodic server problems for the rest of the day." In Indiana we sometimes have to move the servers indoors due to inclement weather... ;) John |

Clement weather takes care of itself, doesn't it? Was a tough day for the server, though. |

I hope everyone out there in Northern California is ok. I read a lot of reports about high winds, lots of rain, lots of snow in the higher elevations, flooded streets, flying trash cans, power outages, and downed internets. |

Hope you folks are all okay, even the ones nowhere near the storm, just on principle. Seriously, my advrider.com buddies tell me the mountains are pure treachery this weekend. Be careful everybody... John |
