You can't blame TPD

[NickFitz]

Will look at opening TPD again when I am a bit more awake and have looked at merging the two threads. That may mean some more downtime for the forum.

maybe you should consider a testing gig instead of a PM one

I am a bloody good tester. The money was better in project management. I did consider it this time round but Mich the Tester and Testing Manager (or whatever his name is) put me off by saying their market was dead too.

I wonder if the server will be faster after that little outage just now.

edit:

it is!

That was quick!

You're such a moaner.

That wasn't moaning, was it?

And you make assumptions based on nothing.

Server was down due to TPD. Brought it down so the server hosts could put some more memory in it.

DID IT? And how the hell did it do that?

That may mean some more downtime for the forum.

Will TPD warn us next time before it takes the server down?

If I'd moved a bit faster I'd have got a ThunderBrowse output as well.
