Title: ATTN: Picture Hangar users, please read!
Post by: Saintaw on October 28, 2005, 03:37:54 AM
We are changing hosts... this means we are moving to a bigger server with more storage space and more bandwidth (yay!). If it's not working properly, we can all shoot SOB who has recommended me this new host.

Right now, I am making a physical backup of all the files posted (I currently have a 12k/s connection at home, so it'll take a while). We are keeping the onpoi.net domain so that your current files will still be linked to wherever you posted them... ie, the path will be the same as it is today.

Uploads will be disabled for 48 hours. Links to previously uploaded files could take up to 4 days. I appologise for the inconvenience. If you have questions, please contact Tbolt (tbolt at onpoi dot net) or myself (saw at onpoi dot net).

Hey Schatzi!  Munich is good, though not as good without you and Schutt! :)  When you back in Munich?  (I'm in Denmark next week, Italy end of the month, UK for Xmas, then Switzerland for New Year!)

How's Hannover?  I'll have to go back up there sometime!  That was the first place I visited in Germany!

I'm told that we won't be opening registration, but we always open an account for AH pilots (and, members of some other communities) whenever we're asked.  If you still need an account, let me know, and I'll set you up as soon as the site is re-opened.

Well, I'm flying to Denmark so I wouldn't be ablt to stop off.  When exactly are you back in Munich at Xmas?  I will be in the UK between 22-27 December so maybe we could meet up between 28-31?

Hehe, nothing serious, only a German I've seen a few times who lives in Switzerland, hence my visit in the New Year! :)

But the girls here are stunning.... best I've ever seen!

As for Munich, well, I'd happily spend the rest of my life here, it's such a beautiful, clean and safe area.

...and in summer there's loads of parks with girls sunbathing naked! :)

Well, you missed Oktoberfest, biggest booze up in the world!  Completely amazing!  Ended up putting two Kiwi girls up that I met there!

I have a spare room so anytime you wanna visit then let me know.  There's a few aircraft museums here too plus Hitler's Eagle's Nest down the road in the Alps.

Hopefully the connection speed should improve (it was horrific lately)... the files & DB have been dumped, now off to domain pointing... if I manage to remember where I registered it... *looks at boxes*


OT:

Didn't we have a plan to visit that neo-teuton Nexx in November?

Hiya Hajo, all ist gut.... busy with work & joystick kaput... one day, I will get a new joystick & you and Will will kill me again! :)

Saw'sage, the meetup was supposed to be in October but almost everyone who said they were interested didn't email so I scrubbed it!

Needless to say though you'll still have to come over for a Maß or two! :)

I am not sure yet about upgrading storage space, it'll depend of the bandwidth usage.

This is going to take a little longer than expected... someone with thick fingers entered the wrong mx ... ;)

Title: Update...
Post by: Saintaw on November 04, 2005, 05:28:01 AM
It's almost up... but I have one problem, and I need help with the following:

I still have to upload the 2+GB of uploaded files over to the new host... and as I am currently living in a hotel room with the ****est connection you have ever seen outside Tadjikistan... I keep having timeouts, and am unable to post the files.

I need someone to download the uploaded files from the old server & put them on the new one. That someone needs to know how to use an ftp client and have a fast connection.


The database is up & running, the app files are up too... this is the last step.


As most of the users are in the US I decided to keep the host over there.
