OldCMP site is down

[Keith Webb]

Have experienced so many problems with the server in the US I have decided to change to another - it may take a little while for it to reappear so please accept my apologies and be patient - hopefully be sorted early next week.

Keith

Ah ... I hope your site is back up quickly and with no more hhassles Keith!

[Keith Webb]

The main reason it's going to be down for longer than it should is the details I need to change it are at work and I won't have access until Monday.

That explains the delay ... wonder how many people will go through Old CMP withdrawals? Better break out the Vegemite

What's a hhassle? A double aspirated "sometimes" vowel?

if I wasn't already bald I would be tearing my hair out, I might actually have to work instead of "researching".

Well, I'm sure glad to hear that you won't be hurting yourself and making your head bleed from the torn out roots then

Well that should save me around a half hour a day...
From my boss, thank you.

Psssst.... someone should ask "what's OldCMP?" and really give the old bugger a conniption fit!

Gosh, wouldn't have a clue, it just looked good on the screen.

Some misread it as Old Campsite.

Will we get to see some blitzes sleeping near me to celebrate the re-launch.

[Keith Webb]

The DNS have been redirected - hopefully we should be back online again very soon.

[hrpearce]

I'll be wearing out my welcome on MLU soon I need you back to put balance in my life.

[Keith Webb]

Just back from a long road trip - I'll get onto the guy who's supposed to make it happen - sorry again for the outage.

Very funny.

[Max Hedges]

do you need something like my generator to give it a kick start

[Keith Webb]

You can see the site here

Will let you know when it's back in it's own right.

[hrpearce]

I just clicked on oldcmp in favorites and got it

[Keith Webb]

It's only sort of back - hope to have it fully operational next week - you'll notice some bits are missing but I'll tidy it up once I again have upload access.

... I can't access the new flash galleries. They don't work neither with firefox nor ie7. Any suggestions?

PS Had a virus on my PC and some trouble setting up the machine. Now I'm back again...

Hi Chris

Yes, there is STILL a problem - the guy organising the site has left it in a semi-active space on his server - I can't access it or fix it

I have also been too busy with work to chase him but will be going after him this week!

[Keith Webb]

OK so there have been some steps in the right direction and I am assured it will be back in it's happy little domain before too long.

In the meantime I at least have access again but the downside is it's via a proxy server which means I can't post links of individual pages.

But if you go to oldcmp.net and navigate to the updates page you'll see there are some new galleries, including one covering the events of today, October 27th where at least 3 Ford F15s were mobile in some way in Australia.

Euan and I took one to his father-in-law's place and we also brought back a partially restored chassis, which has been sandblasted and painted but has weathered a little so it will be re-prepped and painted soon.

And the third mobile F15? Well Howard Holgate will no doubt have something to post in his F15 thread very soon.

Onward and upward!

Here we are in the grip of the most horrendous drought the area has seen in recorded history, and the one day I get to go & play trucks, and it rains! Dammit!
Not even the farmers want rain now because they have cut the remains of their crops for hay. Now it seems even this hay is ruined & facing rot as it lays in wet paddocks. Sux, dunnit?
I did, however, attend a clearing sale on Saturday & picked up 3x smow chains which I suspect (hope) are CMP. Ill post some photos for ID of the chains soon.
