The last two days have been total heck for the guys from FFCars.com. We can't get straight answers from the hosting company about why the site was so slow, now its working fine. Cross my fingers, let's hope it stays running fine over the Easter weekend. We're thinking about getting a dedicated server soon. So maybe we'll have less sleepless nights... or maybe more sleepless nights.

Thanks, now back to building cars!

Bill,

They did something right. It seems faster than ever.

Bill,

I can relate as someone that has been in Information Technology for over 20 years. Its the nature of the internet. Not a controlled environment like a coporate IT network. Many players with skills, abilities, and resources all over the map. Internet prdictability is an oxy moron (IMHO).

Relax and take a deep breath. Sounds like you have stayed on top of it. It will happen again (and again). Thanks to you and the entire FFCars team for keeping the trains running.

Yeah, let's not do any web updates for a few days to make sure we're running 100%. Did you get anything done after I left last night? Will you be ready Saturday for your debut?!?!?!

 

[DragonSnake]

What's going on Saturday? Any Cobra events in the Big H?

I really need to sit in one of these bad boys.

You guys are doing a great job. The site seems faster than before the speed wobble.

I've got cable at the home office and dial up here in the office. Heck, I can hardly tell the difference now!

Nice job!

And, 200 Cobras are NOT enough!

Bill,

I get to Houston several times a year. Next trip is probably going to be the end of April.

I'd be delighted to buy you a beer!

Least you deserve for the good work on the board.

Thanks VERY much for your efforts.

Yes, Duane's car debuts this Saturday if its not raining! We will be at Otto's BBQ for the car show at about 7 PM, then off to Westheiher and Post Oak at Starbucks. Maybe by 9, but at least by 10.

I still thinking about a new web service. Beerpal.com . You register with a credit card. Anytime you want to buy someone a beer and they aren't local, just enter who it's for and how many beers you're buying. Beerpal.com debits your card and the drinkee gets to go to any Beerpal participating tavern and drink his allotment .

OK...just dreaming. I'll buy the beer if I ever run into you.

Hey Rick, that's just crazy enough to work!

Bill, I will walk upstairs right now and knock one back for ya.... I always love when some genius fat fingers one key and BOOM you are down. Been there, glad I did not have a gun in my hand or I would be serving 5-10... but anyway the site is flying now..... remember key to life cool waves and nice beers
