Home Distiller

Did some FreeBSD updates recently which overwrote my kernel. The one they put in place is "Generic" and does not include the "Vimage" stuff. We need the "Vimage" stuff to run HD.

So, for some reason the host rebooted early this morning and when it came back up... the kernel wouldn't support us.

I'm at work so a good friend logged in, built a good kernel for us, and rebooted.

Sorry for the downtime.

Dave

Wohooo! Back up and running. Yup, I'm an HD junky.

Welcome back! Was wondering what happened!

Thank you Dave and to your good friend too. Appreciate your hard work keeping the site going. I have no clue what a kernal is, aside from something I grind up and mash up with some malt.

I though I broke HD.

When nothing comes up I have a little panic attack that the Gubberment has taken down our home away from home. Thank you for all you do, Uncle J!

Oh my gosh... I'm addicted to this place. Glad we are back up an runnin

Thanks Dave an company

I thot I was gonna have to check myself into the funny farm. Was having a panic attack

Checked off and on during the day but actually enjoyed a reason to do other things t

Glad it's back up. And yes I tried to have a life while it was down. Now back to the good stuff!

Did my usual check of HD on my phone at work today, what? Why is it not loading? Something wrong with the phone oh no ! Try later still not working but wait calm down, try another site, that works oh no HD is off! Ahhhh,quick get a paper bag breath into that for a while........ Ok it's back on, I'm OK. Problem? I don't have a problem!
Thanks for all you do Uncle Jesse!

+1 i was in the same boat yesterday

UJ, it's amazing that this site has such a high rate of availability. It's a testament to the hard work you and others put into it. We tend to become complacent to just how reliable the access has become. Except for the occasional fluke, such as this one, and regular system maintenance, we can expect the site to be available. Thank you and the administrative staff for keeping this site consistently available and fine tuned.

Thanks Dave + Mate.

I thought my company had seen all the hours i spend here and blocked the site, I was bulling big time.

Happy to see it back up, feel like a junkie that just got his fix.

aaaaaaaahhhh, thats better.

Thanks for getting it back up so fast. SCARRED THE HELL OUT OF ME. Thought maybes the Feds shut it down and we were all being vestigated.

Thank's for doing a great work to get this site up and running.

Thought it was my phone for a minute ..Then just left it alone for a while ..
No need to be sorry here, stuff happens all the time, just gotta be patient.

that thought crossed my mind too.

I don't post often but read constantly, it was like someone hid my favorite book

I'd grown accustomed to your face, was surprised you weren't up, but since everything else around me as been unpredictable lately, I thought I'd infected you with the gremlins too.

welcome back, and thanks for all you do.
