  • Is 20 For Beers down?

    From kirkspragg@21:1/101 to All on Sunday, August 18, 2024 13:14:49
    Hi everyone,

    I haven't logged into 20forbeers for a few days & tried to log in today and it appears to be down at least for me.

    Anyone know if there was a scheduled outage for maintenance? Hope everything is going ok over there, it's one of my favorite BBSes.

    ... What was the best thing before sliced bread?

    I can see Paulie is moving locations... there's a post in the FSX_BBS echo about the BBS being down on Saturday (USA time) when he does... so I expect it's related to that :)

    Written from my Sunday afternoon.... in the future, future :)

    Oh yes that will be it, hope it all goes well. Last I heard he was pretty well prepared. Ugh moving, one of my least favorite things.

    I moved over the weekend - I think you and I even mentioned the move in a local msg base... :P I made announcements on 2oFB local messages, oneliners and fsxNet - sorry you missed em, but we're baaaaaack!

    It actually was a bit harder than I'd anticipated and we were down from 1:30pm Sat - 9:00am Sun... lost all my port forwards because new modem and had to sort all that BS out.

    Come on by, kirk!!

    I don't like moving.. My wife and I are probably going to move to a new place within the next year or so (to be more in between where we both work). I'm always glad when moving is done.

    I'm sure I caught one or more of your announcements it just slipped my mind. Have been battling with my retro PC the last few weeks. Had got hold of a 386dx40 motherboard and ram to upgrade my 286 build with.. but it hasn't worked out so far. I have finally discovered that at lest one of the SIMM ram modules is bad, after being perplexed by much weird behavior and crashing!

    ... I am. Therefore, I think. I think.

    I hate when I can't find the issue while working with vintage hardware. You know... people who have a HUGE collection of hardware on hand have it a bit easier - they can just go grab another stick of RAM and test it out; I always try to start with the bare minimum when refurbishing retro hardware.

    Even tho the IIe has all those cool cards installed, I rip everything out and boot the motherboard first - then I'll start re-adding all the good stuff. Works for all makes and models; start basic and work up - that being said, bad memory is kinda a base level thing. :P
