The server will be offline for a day or so due to a hardware failure. We will let you know when it comes back online.

Sorry for the downtime. I think I have a spare promise card in storage I'm goign to look tonight.

Feel free to contact me if you wish to donate. I've stopped using paypal because they have issues with changing their polocies at the drop of a hat and I refuse to work with a company who states that they reserve the right to not give your your money for almost any reason they can come up with. I know a guy who runs a pawn shop and does a tom of ebay stuff. Paypal has held up around 30,000.00 in payments for over a year now because they decided pawn shops were a risk to them. And you cannot sue them because you agree not to when you sign up. You can donate to the web hosting company if you want, that does help or if you want to contact me you can.

Unfortunately the Nuvar server is still experiencing problems. We will let you know when it is fixed.

Guest has been moved to a new drive. Low level tests report no issues. This should fix the problems.

Man this has been a sucky week. Okay so I moved the Nuvar guest to a new drive and everything was good. However when I went to remove the old guest from the inventory to clean things up I ended up deleting the new copy and now the bad drive is failing big time. I'm going to work on getting it up and running log enough to copy the guest back to the new disk but it'll take a bit. I'll let you know.

Oh and to those who have asked, the drives are still under warranty to I'm sending them in to Seagate to get replaced.
