Testing 1, 2, 3. Is this thing on?
Yup. John has configured a kick butt replacement system, is just working on the final details now. Hope to get it ordered and installed soon. We’ve already raised $6,000 of the $12,000 needed for it and will finance the rest (hopefully at 0% interest from the vendor). Praying for the best!!
lol, I love the Moody Blues.
Nights in White Satin (ending) The Moody Blues
Cold hearted orb
That rules the night
Removes the colours
From our sight
Red is gray and
Yellow white
But we decide
Which is right
And
Which is an Illusion
I don't know.
But, according to the clock, I may be in Rio.
I gather the sporkweasel overpowered Ralph and took the system down again?
I was noticing the rude sentence
“shove_it to Jim Robinson”
” a kick butt replacement system, “
‘kick butt’ to replace the ‘ZOT!’??
Is this the ‘kinder, gentler, Free Republic’ we’ve been hearing about??
(KIDDING!!!!!)
While FR was down.....
The DU freaks were joyous.
Big Media proudly proclaimed in headlines that the new unemployment figures were “more than expected”.
Leftist freaks are are all worked up against Big Really Bad Chick-Fil-A.
Sheriff Joe’s conclusions have all but disappeared everywhere, including Faux News dot com.
It’s been a dark day.
We get signal!
On - but just noticing the posting clock is way fast...
ssshhh
Higher And Higher
Moody Blues
Blasting, billowing, bursting forth
With the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes
Man with his flaming pyre
Has conquered the wayward breezes
Climbing to tranquility
Far above the cloud
Conceiving the heavens
Clear of misty shroud
Higher and higher
Now we’ve learned to play with fire
Go higher and higher and higher
Vast vision must improve our sight
Perhaps at last we’ll see and end
To our own endless blight
And the beginning of the free
Climb to tranquility
Finding it’s real worth
Conceiving the heavens
Florishing on earth
Higher and higher
Now we’ve learned to play with fire
Go higher and higher and higher

East/West connections are getting stuck near Newton, Kansas. This affected only a few web sites. No chatter about it on the usual tech/political sites - aside from this thread.
Routers involved include (not limited to) 71.xx.xx.xx 12.xx.xx.xx - all at same location in Kansas. May take 24+ hours for all FR members, or could have already resolved for FR - but other sites still down.
Or maybe the routers in Kansas are fine but can’t find the next backbone link - I noticed the same backbone IP address 63.xx.xx.xx reported as being in Glen Burnie MD and Denver CO, which is informative of the underlying issue.
Whew.....I was having withdrawals.
So would I. But not a new server. A standby server that could be swapped out in minutes while the main server is being diagnosed and fixed.
It wouldn't need to have search capabilities, zero bells and whistles, no old threads and posts, just current posts to communicate between the masters and the common folk...
OK I'm not a computer geek, so what do I know?
On what planet?
More like 18 hours.
A new record?
