Or is it just me?
-
Nope not just you. I was beginning to think earlier it was just me.
-
I haven't been able to get on all day.
-
I`ve got the jitters :embarrassed:
-
Uncle Buck posted in my thread that he can't get in either.

Nope, I have tried several times throughout the day and just tried again. I still cannot get on. I sure hope Rusty knows what is going on because I do not know jack about what to do to get the site back up. I wonder if Rusty's site is down too???
-
Yea his site is down too.
-
Not good! Tool Talk runs the same software. I will do a backup right now.
-
Still down at 10:30 Pacific time.
I find http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ (http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/) helpful to see if it's on my end or a wider issue.
-
Still down at 6:49 this morning.

Guys -- I think we have a big problem. No one has heard from Rusty, and since he is the sole owner and caretaker of the server accounts and the forum software, we must assume that he is either unaware of the situation, or that he is incapacitated. As in previous outages, I e-mailed him as soon as I became aware of the problem, but this time I have not received any response.
All of us only have one phone number for Rusty -- and apparently when Harlan (skfarmer) tried to place a call to that number it went to company that is unknown to us. Bottom line -- right now we are off the net for the foreseeable future until someone can get in touch with Rusty.
I just tried to get in touch with Rusty on the only phone number we have for him, and was told that I had the wrong number. This doesn't look good folks.
-
Still down at 8:55 Texas time, and no response to email.
-
Does anyone know Rusty's last name and where he lives?
Goodfellow is absolutely correct in his statement. Until we can make contact with Rusty we are just out of business for who knows how long.
-
R L T - R L Tacguard or close to that.

For some reason now that you say that I am thinking his last name is Tackett.

Hanging around and itching to go!!

I have his full name and address. I also have a phone number associated with that address and will try it later on this morning.
Buck -- I forwarded you the admin contact list and phone numbers to your corporate email account.
-
Yeah, just tried getting on this morning. Nothing. Then got re-directed to this thread.
I hope things are OK.
So nice to have another forum be a sounding board if a site goes down. None of us would know anything without it.
Many sites would probably get ruffled at the thought of dozens of member asking about some other forum on their page. Hat's off to Noel!

Just noticed that Ray, thank you.

Good News!!!
Rusty got in touch and sent the following
" Ray the data center had a power feed go bad on one leg it dropped the network and the HVAC. They have been working on it for the past day. They've started to bring the servers back on line slowly. With the thousands of blade units they are doing ten racks letting temps stabilise and then doing ten more racks."
Looks like it's a technical problem at the data center and they are working on it --
go Rusty!!
-
Glad to hear that news!

Hey guys I've been up since 0700 yesterday watching the information come in from the data center. Rays email was lost in the flood yesterday I just found it a little bit ago and replied to it.
I usually remember to come over here to post a note when this kind of stuff happens. Must have had a brain dead moment since I totally forgot to this time.
From the information that has been dribbling in from the data center they had a bus go bad four floors below them. That ended up wiping UPS units and HVAC fans and compressors.
Initially when it started everyone thought it was just packet issues. Then the entire center went dark. What worries me is some of the tech have been up for over 36 hours now.

Yes thanks to tooltalk for putting up with us

This is the only place I could think of to see what was going on with GG. I registered to thank Papaw.

Yes, we (the GG admins) owe a debt of gratitude to Noel! He's been very generous in helping us communicate and keep the dialog flowing. Much appreciated!!! thanks guys--

Sites back up. I'm checking the file system in the background.
-
Tool Talk has always had a good relationship with GG and Rusty, and will continue to do so. We each have our own focuses and even when they are similar, we are not competitors, we are friends.

Gang,
Just found this thread after sending bonneyman a PM. I haven't been able to get on the GG for 2 days; now I see it's not just me and others are aware of the problem too.
All this time I've been thinking the problem was on my end.
