Hardware failure - Dylan's Ride Blog

Some occasional musings on mountain bike rides and walks in North Yorkshire, with odd bit of discussion on mapping technology thrown in for good measure

Hardware failure
21/11/2006

If you have tried to access this site since about 19:00 hrs GMT yesterday (the 20th of Nov), you will had some difficulty. The motherboard of the webserver died, and swapping a new motherboard caused a few difficulties with persuding Windows 2003 to run on slightly different hardware. To cut a long story short, the IP address that www.mtb-routes.co.uk points to has changed, and some people may have difficulties as the change trickles it's way around the internet.

For those oh you think didn't understand a word of that, heres a summary in english: The computer broke, and altough it's better now it will take a few more hours for things to settle down.

Sorry! Computers do that sometimes, and this site doesn't make enough money to pay for industrial strength web hosting.
