We were off-line for a number of hours, suspended by our Web Hosts because apparently our SQL Database has become unwieldy and freegin large.
Couple of fights later and we’re back online… still have to place some Plugin’s back in place. That will happen tomorrow as I want to monitor what and how the website performs overnight.
We will fight them in the trenches, we will fight them in the streets… but we’ll never surrender… hahaha

2 @ Bullscot:
No, go on like normal… let’s see what happens.
Early indications are already good as I’ve implimented a special caching application to reduce the load on the Server as far as the SQL DB is concerned.
Still I also need to bring 3 of our Plugin’s back online… which will happen tomorrow.

Thought that there was something amiss – happened just after I posted the scrummies, and I thought I had done something wrong!

I have tried doing a jokes article for new years, but trying to add a you Tube movie clip does not seem to want to work.
I mean on the article itself, and I used the embedded URl as you taught me, so I am not sure if it is a setting that I am not allowed to do??

On the article I wanted to put in the short movie “dinner for one” then us bloggers could have posted joke clips etc just like we do with the music

John Mitchell has left his post at Sale Sharks! Apparently on his way back to SA, but I guess they always maintained he was staying on Lions books in some form.
