Is TD Broken?

**Davis Knowlton** · 15-02-2012, 07:42 PM

Am in the Philippines. No problems with the site for more than two years. Now, yesterday and today, it has crashed on me with a "doing maintenance, back in a few minutes" message. But, it never comes back. Once I reload the site, which is a pain, if I click on "Home", I get the same message. I can access other stuff, not "home". Then, after a number of hours (yesterday), I could get into "Home" again, but that part of the site rebuilt post by post all night, and was still doing so when it crashed again a few hours ago. What's going on???? All other sites on my computer are operating perfectly.

Means exactly what it says, normally takes about 10 minutes.

This is a caching problem either with your browser or isp, do a hard refresh (ctrl F5) or reboot the browser.

I thought all this mess might be connected to ICT people trying to catch Iranian communications. Oh well, too many spy movies.

Up and down like a whore's drawers it is.

**sabai sabai** · 15-02-2012, 08:48 PM

I thought the maintenance was done at 4am ?

Still thinking the US or Thai ICT is running carnivore over certain websites in Thailand.

Carnivore (software) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Looking at wiki I guess they have moved on from carnivore to something newer.

Carnivore was a system implemented by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that was designed to monitor email and electronic communications. It used a customizable packet sniffer that can monitor all of a target user's Internet traffic. Carnivore was implemented in October 1997 and replaced in 2005 with improved commercial software such as NarusInsight

Funny how all this started happening after he uploaded his new avatar

**Davis Knowlton** · 16-02-2012, 09:14 AM

Still can't get into "home". Everything else opens. "home" just gives the same maintenance message. Have tried googling the site, and opening it; same maintenance message. Have also rebooted, same shit.

Thats how I felt on Tuesday of this week. All seems to be fine now on this end.

**Davis Knowlton** · 16-02-2012, 01:51 PM

And now, 24 hours later, it is suddenly back to normal.

Bit of an exaggeration, TD is never "normal"......but we know what you mean....

**Davis Knowlton** · 16-02-2012, 01:56 PM

A momentary slip.....apologies.

Why don't you put TD in your "bookmarks?" Never a problem unless computer challenged? Perhaps your flip side is off? Couldn't resist it.

It's there. Problem hit it there as well. Now that it works again, I have bookmarked the working version (again). Which will be fine until it fucks up again.

at first I thought "Oh shit Davis and I are old." But then I thought if I type t into my brouser up TD pops at the top I push enter and am in. So to each his own. I almost felt the onslaught of Alzheimer's but then realized there are two way to "skin a rabbit or pluck a chicken. "

Shouldn't be a problem unless on your end ( Philippines)the server is over-worked. Of course there's always a first time for everything.

**david44** · 17-02-2012, 02:59 PM

Oiling the hinges

**harrybarracuda** · 27-02-2012, 04:27 PM

Network timeouts again today. DD, are you fucking about again?

**blue** · 27-02-2012, 04:45 PM

**Davis Knowlton** · 27-02-2012, 04:46 PM

Same in Phil. Just came back after two hours off. Only site - I could access all others.

**dirtydog** · 27-02-2012, 04:53 PM

Think they were doing something at the server farm, 4am to 5am is a likely time they would be.

**ltnt** · 27-02-2012, 04:55 PM

New poll being arranged by members of the Thai Immigration department. Requirements change daily. Can't imagine working in that place its absolute chaos by the minute. Ruskies are going wild there now. Thai GF's doing their best version of the caring female impersonator while old fat dodgy women in flowered skirts and Dolly Pardon size tats mill about smoking and dragging their spawn about. TD out for a few seconds, but that's nothing compared to the daily shit I see.

Hey Davis, no injection of TD is just like a day without sunshine!
