Homedistiller was down
Wow,
Haven't seen this for years, but the web server software crashed.
For those of you who are unix literate, my fully up to date apache core dumped!
Haven't seen that for many years.
Should be back to normal now.

Wow. Not seen a core dump for 10 years or more. OK Own up. Who asked Apache to do something it shouldn't?

Re: Homedistiller was down
Dang. Thought I lost all my “peeps”.
It’s like going “on the wagon” for a while. Drinkin’ it all in now that we’re back “on air” again.
Thanks UJ. Your efforts are very much appreciated!

I picked a good time to be on hiatus. Barely even noticed thank goodness.

I've been intending to donate as thank you for all the help and education I've had here, but just never actually did it.
Now I have, thank you to the guys behind this place for giving us all somewhere to be.

I hope many, many others feel the same.

Well, it happened again. Time seems to be the same two days in a row. I don't have the time to investigate right now but I will try to look into this later today.

Now I'm no expert, but I think you need some oyster shells up in that server to keep the ph from crashing the system.

I figured out what's doing it. I haven't figured out why. For now I've done a workaround and will look into this further ASAP.

What a fantastic time to show our appreciation for all the hard work being done by the Uncle and Admin. This site isn’t run on magic. Donations coming your way UJ.
Edit: Hmmm…
PayPal wouldn’t complete the transaction

Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.
