Hi, Open Mike - sometimes, the Mudcat computers need to be rebooted. If Max isn't around or isn't aware of the problem, Mudcat goes down. Seems to be the same with almost all computer systems, especially those that can't afford a 24/7 paid staff to watch over them.
Nice to be back, isn't it?

Yes, I can sometimes suffer M.W.S. - Mudcat Withdrawal Syndrome...

The downtimes just make us realise how much this site means to us - maybe we'll not take it for granted!

Poor ol' Max has to sleep sometime!!

Mudcat being down is natures' way of telling us to GO DO SOMETHING ELSE!

Personally, I made 4 embroidered Christmas cards, some iced biscuits and played with the 3 furry cats. I still have the scratches.

Welcome back Mudcat!!!

Thank God! (or Max) it's back.

Made me realise how much I miss you lot, thought it was my PC playing up.

Managed to clean up a lot of LP tracks though.

Once more into the breach etc.

They frequently are muddy, but they are also furry, soft, warm, unpredictable, lovable, tempestuous, annoying and downright dangerous at times. That's real life for you.

Freeserve was also down most of yesterday so we couldn't get the internet at all!

Sites may come and sites may go, as long as the seas do roll.
Each computin' lad, likewise his dad, he hates the wordy troll;
Debate online, he doth repine, one that is right and fine;
But when the Mudcat's down,
It's the same old groan--
Max's server's down.

Get along, get along ye jolly catters,
There may be other sites on line,
But when the cat is down,
It's the same old groan,
Max's server's down.

Welcome back. EBarnacle on Lady Hillary's machine
