| 2024-07-02 20:26:24 | trailing wife | Rantburg is definitely down — both Rantburg.com and the backstage moderator’s access. I assume Fred and badanov are doing some serious playing under the hood — badanov has a list of things that need doing for the next stage of things. Bless them both for being clever about it so that I don’t have to learn! |

| 2024-07-02 19:09:11 | NN2N1 | RB down.... but Wheelus is back up to report it. |
| 2024-07-02 16:37:26 | Brerrabbit | Is rantburg down? |
| 2024-04-29 14:59:24 | badanov | Rantburg is down. Alert sent. |
| 2024-04-08 06:10:49 | Visitor | Down again. |
| 2024-04-04 17:22:41 | Dale | Down again. (grampaw) Firefox said to go back. Security risk. |
| 2024-04-04 16:35:51 | badanov | \'Burg is back up. |
| 2024-04-04 15:25:53 | badanov | \'Burg is down. Dunno why. Fred is logged in, so I have zero clue what he is doing. If no word, or if the \'Burg isn\'t up, then I will try to restart. |
| 2024-04-02 12:24:54 | trailing wife | We were all having fits, newc. I had an ever-lengthening page of links in desperate need of posting for the delectation of Rantburg’s kindred spirits. Fred worked steadily for four days without sleeping to resurrect the Burg, including half a million article and a million (!!!) comments. |
| 2024-04-02 02:09:44 | Newc | this is not working |
| 2024-03-30 02:20:34 | Newc | Thank you Kindly, Dear. I am sure he is busy and like an addict, the page not found put me in fits. |
| 2024-03-29 08:00:51 | trailing wife | Rantburg.com is now up and Fred has started publishing articles. Welcome home! |
| 2024-03-29 08:00:09 | trailing wife | <3 |

| 2024-03-28 21:13:07 | trailing wife | Newc dear, if he hasn’t followed up from here, send him that email requesting an invitation to the Rantburg Discord page at grurkka at gmail dot com You know how computer people can be when they get busy. ;-) |
| 2024-03-27 23:56:23 | Newc | You need to get me, closedanger on that discord channel. |
| 2024-03-27 22:46:54 | Newc | You need to get me, closedanger on that discord channel. |
| 2024-03-27 22:35:15 | badanov | Good news is that the server is live. But the web server is not ready, yet. |
| 2024-03-27 22:20:57 | badanov | You should email me at grurkka at gmail dot com for an invite link to join the server |
| 2024-03-27 22:18:56 | badanov | From what I gathered, Fred broke something on his Linux server so severely he was forced to reinstalll the operating system. |
| 2024-03-27 22:01:16 | Newc | You need to get me, closedanger on that discord channel. |
| 2024-03-27 21:23:33 | Newc | Did we send too much views? What happen :) |
| 2024-03-27 21:20:54 | badanov | grurkka at gmail dot com is my mail to request an invite for a Rantburg,com discord page. |
| 2024-03-27 16:36:28 | Dale | Pappy and AP back in time. Time flies. |
| 2024-03-27 16:16:45 | Visitor | Is Rantburg still down? All we see is blank webpage. |
| 2024-03-27 11:42:34 | Dale | My My My. Woe, is me. |
| 2024-03-27 06:16:04 | A frequent visitor | Fred, I know you have your hands full right now. But, I just wanted to Thank-you for your constant efforts in keeping Rantburg running. I can only imagine the issues you deal with daily, given the site is likely a major target for the left. |
| 2024-03-27 05:13:52 | badanov | Server is down until Fred can fix the server. Backup server is up. |
| 2024-03-25 23:06:47 | trailing wife | Safari can’t connect to the Rantburg server. And me in the midst of prepping articles for publishing! (I finished Caucasus and had just started Israel) |
| 2024-03-21 12:51:31 | badanov | Message sent to restart. Now, we wait. |
| 2024-03-21 11:57:37 | Dale | 1PM Checking in and unable to connect. Withdrawals shortly. |
| 2024-03-21 11:19:02 | trailing wife | Rantburg appears to be down since 11:00 a.m. ET. |

| 2023-06-16 09:30:11 | NN2N1 | Have been doing some ITSEC things the last few weeks and only recently started RB posting again. But have noticed a few of the postings, with links to support the comments, but never get displayed on RB. Has the posting rules or process changed while I was out, or is this just the occasional fluke? |
| 2023-05-03 12:15:06 | Mullah Richard | Good morning... |
| 2022-11-29 06:35:19 | Vent | Greetings! Pretty helpful information On this unique post! It’s the minimal alterations that will make the greatest variations. Quite a few many thanks for sharing! |
| 2022-11-28 11:56:06 | NoMoreBS | Congrats on the 500k metric! Is the postal address for Fred still valid? |

| 2022-11-17 05:48:54 | badanov | The server is in Euroland |
| 2022-11-15 01:29:57 | trailing wife | Never mind — suddenly I’m in again... and it looks like I was the only one with a problem. |
| 2022-11-15 01:06:42 | trailing wife | Something is off on your time setting, badanov. In my world it is 8:00 p.m. ET on Monday 2022-11-14. |
| 2022-11-15 00:59:14 | trailing wife | Rantburg doesn’t seem to be loading for me. |

| 2022-11-08 17:17:01 | badanov | Howdy |
| 2022-10-03 10:11:51 | badanov | Yes. I sent a second message asking for a response. |
| 2022-10-03 07:26:16 | Frank G | Burg down? |
| 2022-06-17 08:49:58 | Dale | 8:45 Were back. |
| 2022-06-17 08:29:48 | Dale | Site is down and backup. 8:25AM 6-17-22. O Club heads up was on the mark. |
| 2022-05-20 07:40:26 | Mullah Richard | Hmmmm..... |
| 2022-04-29 18:53:03 | Dale | Oops its back. |
| 2022-04-29 18:51:44 | Dale | Seems burg is having problems. OK this morning but 6:45PM off even grandpaw. |
| 2022-01-17 01:21:31 | trailing wife | Testing. Rantburg has been popping up and down since shortly before midnight ET. That is, it’s been down at least twice, and reset at least once — my thanks for that! |
| 2021-10-04 18:28:14 | Matt | You are diligent, tw! |
| 2021-10-04 18:26:43 | trailing wife | Just testing to make sure there are no issues at my end, in case the Facebook problem spreads. |

| 2021-03-27 21:29:29 | Visitor | Rantburg appears to be down again. |
| 2021-03-26 02:25:38 | badanov | Be advised, a true mirror site for Rantburg is being prepared, but it is not yet ready. Something is up, but it isn\'t much. It is here: rantburg.1dogstar.net/ |
| 2021-03-26 02:22:58 | badanov | There goes my Friday |
| 2021-03-26 02:22:00 | badanov | Rantburg appears to be down again. |
| 2021-02-26 22:10:23 | Visitor | TW, Deadeye Jaitling is a &*%$! jerk. Too bad there is no way to block certain posters. |
| 2021-02-25 14:27:25 | Frank G | Thanks for picking up the load while Fred was down, Bad |
| 2021-02-09 14:28:41 | swksvolFF | Thank you again everyone. |
| 2021-02-09 12:57:32 | trailing wife | Hurray! What happened? Also beaucoup thanks to badanov and Besoeker, who who quickly out up enough articles to satisfy our need for real news. |

| 2021-02-09 06:32:18 | Dave | Schucksie darn...2021 sure hasn\'t been good to the \'Burg site. |
| 2021-02-08 19:47:43 | Dale | Deacon man Hey!. It was some time ago.I dropped out of social media for a bit. I have contact with some interesting people. I am saying just sit back and wait till March 1st. One can only hope sanity will return. DC is now a zombie zone. Seven sickened after vaccine booster in one medical office. Number two heart surgeon in country put in quarantine after first dose. He is back on the job now. So many out working the covid sickout that back orders and delays effecting it seems all industries. |
| 2021-02-08 17:29:35 | swksvolFF | Wow, they have some good ones. At the risk of drawing ire, I actually sputtered when I read the female ref headline. |
| 2021-02-08 16:44:40 | Mullah Richard | The Bee is right on that - babylonbee.com/news/138000-points-suddenly-awarded-to-losing-team-at-halftime |
| 2021-02-08 16:30:23 | swksvolFF | Congrats to the KC Chiefs for scoring 24 points in overtime to win the game. |
| 2021-02-08 15:29:06 | Silentbrick | I have quite a few sites but few are as cogent and full of world news, not just the US. And to be honest, it\'s 50% articles, 50% commentary, I can \'replace\' one but cannot replace the other:) |
| 2021-02-08 14:01:53 | trailing wife | “Is it bad it feels like the universe goes dark when Rantburg is down?” That’s normal, Silentbrick. |
| 2021-02-08 14:01:02 | trailing wife | The word from Gloria: “Internet is down. Comcast running a diagnostic now.” So now we know. |
| 2021-02-08 14:00:07 | trailing wife | Td#1 survived the experiment with the new sleeping med just fine. It didn’t kill her or make her too nauseous to eat, and she did sleep, so we’re already ahead of the last thing she tried, Visitor. The next step is to experiment with dosage to see if she can sleep better without causing a sleepiness hangover — the problem with being a slow metabolizer. |
| 2021-02-08 13:25:31 | Deacon Blues | What executive order is tha Dale? I have no evidence but I believe Obama is pulling Biden\'s puppet strings. "I don\'t know what I\'m signing" Biden is just the figurehead. |
| 2021-02-08 12:42:26 | Visitor | It is bad SB. Would you like me to suggest a few sites to visit while you recover from your fix? |
| 2021-02-08 12:31:23 | Silentbrick | Is it bad it feels like the universe goes dark when Rantburg is down? |
| 2021-02-08 11:45:59 | Visitor | How is Trailing daughter? |
| 2021-02-08 11:19:45 | trailing wife | Rantburg was fine went I fell asleep for my morning nap, but I awoke to deprivation. :-( Oh well — I’ll just have to go through my usual sources first instead of afterward. |
| 2021-02-08 11:06:29 | badanov | Rantburg is down. Possible Fred is working on it. Possible. |
| 2021-02-08 10:58:41 | Silentbrick | Seems to be, I can\'t get to it either. |
| 2021-02-08 10:19:52 | Silentbrick | Seems to be, I can\'t get to it either. |
| 2021-02-08 10:03:58 | Visitor | Is Rantburg down again? |
| 2021-02-01 06:44:32 | Dale | 2/01/2021 The day. |
| 2021-02-01 06:43:00 | Dale | "Basically what this Executive Order says is that anyone involved in interfering in the 2020 election or supporting of the fraudulent elections either foreign or domestic, their property and assets will be frozen. This includes, main stream media, social media, and anyone else who was involved in helping to steal this election." |
| 2021-01-31 16:10:10 | Dale | I am fishing. |
| 2021-01-31 16:09:17 | Dale | I have heard it mentioned recently that Grant was placed as acting president by our military after Lincoln\'s assassination. So he was 18th, what that was called I don\'t know. Then on March 1st Trump will be 19th with similar title. So all Biden\'s theatrics have been show. They say he isn\'t even in the White house. All staged as Hollywood. Thoughts? |
| 2021-01-25 11:22:22 | Visitor | Thanks for helping Fred out. Best of luck. |
| 2021-01-24 12:00:10 | badanov | I have been associated with Rantburg as a mod/technical help help since ~ 2005. I wrote ( and still write) several stories from Rantburg\'s Mexican and Russia/Ukrainian civil war desk since 2010.
|
| 2021-01-24 10:37:38 | Visitor | badanov, what media are you associated with, if any? |
| 2021-01-23 22:05:12 | Frank G | Thanks to Fred, Gloria and all |
| 2021-01-23 21:59:38 | Dave | Thank you, Trailing Wife. And, always glad to have good help! |
| 2021-01-23 21:13:20 | trailing wife | Dave, badanov has been on inactive status in recent years, as his personal life required more time, though he has poked his head in from time to time. |
| 2021-01-23 20:02:46 | Silentbrick | Hooray! |
| 2021-01-23 19:45:27 | Dave | badanov, I always thought you were a moderator as you are in the list of mods on the Homepage. |
| 2021-01-23 16:22:15 | badanov | Welcome. I have moderator status now, so I will be helping out a bit.
Until Fred gives me a passwd, I can\'t do any backend stuff |
| 2021-01-23 15:40:43 | trailing wife | Rantburg is up and the articles in the hopper, originally intended for January 4th, are now published, so that there is someplace to attach comments. badanov, once again my heartfelt thanks for providing this space for us to gather during the interregnum. |
| 2021-01-23 15:23:07 | swksvolFF | Yuenglings on me all around for those here, and those we miss. |
| 2021-01-23 15:09:55 | badanov | I can\'t get in coz Fred hasn\'t given me a passwd |
| 2021-01-23 15:05:44 | badanov | Rantburg is up. TW knows |
| 2021-01-23 00:37:11 | Visitor | I hear Signal is pretty good, too, for secure texts and videos. |
| 2021-01-22 20:53:57 | Visitor | Report a goose today! A comrade in a conk declared, "I heard it say, out loud, quite clearly, "Honk!" |
| 2021-01-22 20:49:50 | Visitor | Awesome, Visitor. Incessant, their whistles of hate! At four before six: "Coffee?" "Great!" A greeting at nine, ten, or noon was a sign. When two vans honked as one, \'twasn\'t fate. |
| 2021-01-22 16:38:45 | Visitor | This week, what did [Andrew Torba] do? ---switched my gmail address to protonmail ---cut off my $2500/mo click ad campaign from Google ---got a Bitcoin wallet for the first time ---me and my buddies got Telegram on our phones ---sent a check to Gab for GabPro and also sent a donation ---switched from Fox to Newsmax for my morning news fix ---stopped buying business supplies from Amazon. Informed the front desk to no longer buy from Amazon. That\'s at least 50 grand a year right there. ---switching to Dissenter and DuckDuckGo and Rumble |
| 2021-01-22 16:34:36 | swksvolFF | Question: say the shampeachment goes forward, and is "recognized as a legal action": if Trump is called as a witness, would he be "legally" required to personally show? That is, must attend instead of remote testimony? |
| 2021-01-22 16:23:41 | swksvolFF | Joe Biden and I have something in common: neither of us knows what he just signed. |
| 2021-01-22 14:21:25 | Visitor | Got one better for you Visitor: Damn Republicans have a riot and forget to take the widescreen TVs. |
| 2021-01-22 12:13:48 | swksvolFF | I guess, coming from my Bidoneers, the grimace dress and pearl necklace worn by Harris was a nod to a Simpsons episode where Lisa had become the first female president and was drawn with that outfit - they can\'t decide if the reference is stunning and brave, or brave and stunning. What a clown show. |
| 2021-01-22 00:57:38 | Visitor | No magazine: "Minor correction: Protesting that honest election, those terrorist Huns done forgot to bring guns, so their fun was an un-insurrection." |
| 2021-01-21 19:16:24 | swksvolFF | Uncle Joey was at his best when responding to the questions. Confident and clear in his verbal assault against the questioner; both the \'press\' and Uncle Joey were bundled off in opposite ways quite quickly; I wonder if Joey is starting to get the physical abuse stage. |
| 2021-01-21 18:40:16 | newc | I Pray he has recovered. |
| 2021-01-21 17:49:30 | swksvolFF | Watched half speed Joe Headroom narrate an Obama style speech, then work the tiny desk like a drunk. Painful. |
| 2021-01-21 15:21:03 | Frank G | Good news about the Fred man (as Shipman would say) |
| 2021-01-21 14:58:04 | Visitor | thedonald.win seems to be down. |
| 2021-01-21 14:23:24 | trailing wife | Antifa.com Snopes is on it. Headline and subheadline: Did Antifa.com Redirect to WhiteHouse.gov Official Website? The Joe Biden campaign has been at the center of redirected URL since the Democratic secured the presidential bid in 2020. |
| 2021-01-21 14:03:34 | Dale | The fat lady has not sung. Four years in the works. Military are the true power in DC. So far all Biden has done is Hollywood theater.Fences, Military all around. Marines in the tunnels under DC. Stay tuned as the show has just begun. |
| 2021-01-21 13:46:26 | Mullah Richard | That\'s excellent news! On another note, \'Antifa.com\', go ahead and open the link, or Google it. |
| 2021-01-21 12:28:16 | Bobby | Great news, indeed! |
| 2021-01-21 10:47:03 | swksvolFF | Great news TW. |
| 2021-01-21 10:35:28 | trailing wife | Message from Gloria: Fred is doing his rehab like a trooper. :-) |
| 2021-01-21 01:19:53 | Visitor | Well, if you insist... one more. Confucius say, "Oracle bone know future of tail-draggin\' drone: When mandate of Harris withdrawn [cue Chuck Farris], like miracle, Joe flung from throne." |
| 2021-01-21 01:11:45 | Visitor | A nation is waiting, impatient, to learn his identity! Asian who photobooms president: First dual citizen Chinese-American agent? |
| 2021-01-21 01:07:14 | Visitor | _Chick, Black Asian Sex Worker, ["yaaay!"] Ticks Boxes Galore! A Great Day!_ One critic, dysphoric, implores, "Moar historic! Yo, stick on a ---- and go gay!" |
| 2021-01-21 00:24:07 | Dave | Whence did Joe steal that line? |
| 2021-01-20 19:53:33 | Bobby | “We must end this uncivil war, that pits red against blue, rural vs. urban, conservative vs. liberal,” Biden said. “We can do this if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts.” Lead by example, Joe. |
| 2021-01-20 19:14:40 | Dave | It IS hopeless. |
| 2021-01-20 16:05:39 | swksvolFF | Making Tranny DeVito a bigwig in health services was a nice touch. |
| 2021-01-20 15:44:21 | swksvolFF | Along those jokes around the campfire, some serious discussion, specifically how to operate a business during hyperinflation? How did they operate during the Weimer Republic was a path, which one wag responded \'they started making Mark 1 Panthers.\' The best answer probably study small lumber yards in California which existed 20 years ago and are still open; figure their pricing model. |
| 2021-01-20 13:28:22 | swksvolFF | 200k Guangdong flags; needed some fireworks making sky footprints to The White House. I\'d think they would rather not do the 25th route basically stating the greatest political campaigner evah really is a loon. Then again, the Biden Camp accrues power and money the longer they are in, and the California Camp may get itchy. |
| 2021-01-20 12:32:05 | swksvolFF | You mean the Village People wasn\'t spontaneous? One my favorites is Cowboy, with his brand new Aussie Style duster, new \'cowboy\' hat, new wire gloves, and pasty tiny wrists. I would pay cash money to watch him walk into an Ag-Land beer joint dressed like that. |
| 2021-01-20 11:23:16 | Bobby | The National Pulse has archived a WaPo article explaining that the Capitol attack was planned in advance. I trust the U.S. House will cancel their impeachment and issue an apology. |
| 2021-01-20 08:30:10 | Dale | Hello all. I believe Biden will be taken out by the 25th article deal they wanted to try on Trump. Harris and close behind Rice move up. The left play their games poorly. Downhill for sure now. They will cause so much inflation. Drunk with opportunity to spend, spend. All for naught. |
| 2021-01-20 00:38:56 | Bobby | Feels hopeless, don\'t it? |
| 2021-01-19 19:38:37 | swksvolFF | I also remember they had initiatives lined up like planes into O\'Hare when Obama walked in, and now it feels triple stacked. Especially when they are already talking about a new endless war. Against Americans. |
| 2021-01-19 19:29:32 | swksvolFF | I hope so, and pray that I continue to be wrong. Carlson monologue is on. Summed up why I always felt like I was looking at hostages when viewing pics of DC troops. |

| 2021-01-19 16:37:07 | swksvolFF | Interesting to watch \'we need troops in DC to protect The Capital\' to \'Trumps DC army is staging an assassination coup\' overnight. Lots of ingredients being thrown into the crock pot, the heat keeps getting turned up, and it doesn\'t smell good. |
| 2021-01-19 08:49:56 | Visitor | Tucker Carlson had a great opening monologue last night. Headlined on Rantingly this morning. |

| 2021-01-17 17:22:15 | trailing wife | Dave D was the first goldenrod moderator, a task he accomplished in between designing things — I believe for the International Space Station, among other no doubt interesting work sites. One of Rantburg’s many brilliant engineers, he applied his analytical mind well beyond the problems he was paid to solve. One of my personal saved Rantburg links is the discussion in which he first roughed out his thoughts about America’s options in dealing with the jihadi problem. When Rantburg comes back, it can be seen here: rantburg.com/poparticle.php?ID=153162#451768. I felt privileged to subsequently find the edited version on his website — back when it still existed — and happened to print out a hard copy, which I came across and sent to him this summer, a small repayment for his many kindnesses over the years. I’m glad he had enough warning that he was able to move near one son and his family, spending his last months with those who loved him most. |
| 2021-01-17 14:08:54 | Dave | Dale - A card I sent to Ohio in early December only arrived Sat., the 16th of Jan. It was postmarked "Baltimore 5 DEC 2020" (and I mailed it before the 5th). Meanwhile, a box sent to me from Ohio in December took 28 days to arrive as it languished somewhere in Maryland. A story on Baltimore TV stated the USPS got rid of an entire shift at some distribution/processing center in Baltimore. Brilliant. Also some allegations of the delays being intentional as the USPS wants money from the Feds. We\'ll see. |

| 2021-01-16 16:19:49 | swksvolFF | It has been instructional watching my Biden people go from \'well he gave it a nice try\' to \'January was a Trump Coup or I will cancel you!\'. These are my peers, elders; casual true believers. |
| 2021-01-16 15:51:26 | Dale | "NRA Filing For Bankruptcy, Moving From New York To Texas", Ruby Tuesday did the same because it was the only way to break NY hold on taxing them to death. 10,000 a month lease for one restaurant. |
| 2021-01-16 14:38:24 | Dale | Yes, TW AP has a full page add on attempted coup. In today\'s paper. |
| 2021-01-16 14:36:41 | Dale | Get ready for big increases in fuel. I spoke to fuel dispatcher and he said with Biden it has already started. I believe it will be worse than double digit Carter years. |
| 2021-01-16 12:23:45 | Abu Uluque | The coup took place on November 3. But you\'d never know it from listening to ABCCBSNBCCNNMSLSD. From what I\'ve been hearing, one of Parler\\'s problems is that they were delisted from a DNS server. Hope that isn\\'t Rantburg\\'s problem but would put nothing past the kind of people who shut down Parler. Don\\'t know why they need an app on Play Store or Apple Store. With the right kind of web programming it could all be run on browsers from a web site. |
| 2021-01-16 08:19:56 | trailing wife | NBC News just now “January 6th attempted coup.” I am beyond furious. |
| 2021-01-16 07:52:32 | badanov | No it ain\'t. My donation to Trump was delayed for seven weeks. The slowdown is deliberate. |
| 2021-01-16 04:39:32 | Dale | Mail extremely slow in Maryland. Jam seems to be in Baltimore. Overwhelmed. |
| 2021-01-15 18:15:12 | trailing wife | Thank you for being our interface with Instapundit, Frank G. I hope he is soon back to 100%. No new news on Fred. swksvolFF, I pray none of your bracket picks come true. I am not sanguine, though. Dale, I appreciate your reports from the real world. Cute, Seeking cure. Right now having this place is very probably saving my sanity — just knowing that some of us are reconnected. badanov, please let us know if we can help with expenses as we do for Fred. A reminder that ryuge and badanov remain active on Twitter — I once signed up, and I still get emails of tweets they think I’ll be interested in. |
| 2021-01-15 17:33:23 | Frank G | emailed Glenn at Instapundit, he had Covid as well recently |
| 2021-01-15 16:25:28 | swksvolFF | I think I have my bracket filled: Sunday - scripted incident shock even on sportsball channels. Monday - Politician shock theater. Tuesday - Condemnation rollout, impeachment charges added and confirmed. Wednesday - emergency theater in Senate with conviction. Thursday - inauguration ball to confirm casual true believers. Friday - emergency executive order broadcast and initial action. |
| 2021-01-15 14:47:35 | Dale | TW, I spoke to retired serviceman and he said key people will be armed but not all. State tried to force Vaccine on medical employees but with no FDA label no way.There will be consequences. Then you need to speak to our union representative. They don\'t have to take vaccine. Same with my Doctor. Hospital indicated there were too many unknowns. Most people do OK with first but second has caused many problems. In Norway I understand 39 have died after first injection. Being investigated now. |

| 2021-01-14 17:40:20 | SCFI | Guess the formatting didn\'t keep, stole this from elsewhere. We needed a little humor! |
| 2021-01-14 17:38:05 | SCFI | On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That\'s a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I\'ll give you back the other ten?" And God saw it was good. On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I\'ll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That\'s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?" And God, again saw it was good. On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer\'s family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years." The cow said, "That\'s kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I\'ll give back the other forty?" And God agreed it was good. On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I\'ll give you twenty years." But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?" "Okay," said God, "You asked for it." So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has now been explained to you. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I\'m doing it as a public service. If you are looking for me I will be on the front porch... |
| 2021-01-14 17:10:21 | trailing wife | April? That will require something drastic, Dale, surely. As for no ammunition for the National Guard troops. that’s at least as dangerous as issuing it to them. |
| 2021-01-14 14:51:03 | Dale | Three items. 1) Trump will be President sometime in April. 2) Martins food stores video all vendors who enter store. They are required to sign an agreement that they can be fined $2500 dollars for first offense. Incorrectly worn as well.3)National Guard Troops in DC have weapons but no ammunition. |

| 2021-01-12 20:23:06 | trailing wife | What caused the pain, badanov? |

He owns a diary farm and the milk company he deals with is dumping the milk hence shortages. Perhaps a price increase of Insulin with Trump out. |

| 2021-01-11 11:54:08 | trailing wife | Epoch Times has an interview with Michael Yon about the January 6 rally and Antifa agents provocateur — behind the subscription wall. Key quotes: “But then I saw people directing traffic,” he recounted. “â€Follow me, we’re going this way, we’re going to take our house back,’ that sort of thing.” Yon saw a lot of people, some with megaphones, encouraging the crowds to move forward. He said that some of these people directing traffic were likely to have been agent provocateurs, explaining that it’s an old technique. “Basically, you can take somebody else’s crowd and make it do what you want it to do. Or you can take your own crowd and make it do what you want it to do,” he explained. Andy Ngo is standing by his position that he saw no Antifa there. |

| 2021-01-09 18:02:26 | Dale | That was me. Good to see you Mr. B. |
| 2021-01-09 18:00:50 | Visitor | Two bus loads were escorted by state troopers directly to the center of activities. Pathway cleared for them. Trump supporters tried to block them. Soros said he had a surprise coming. My hope is trump declares martial law to protect himself and his family and loyal associates. Meanwhile Baltimore is a royal mess. No negative news is being reported. Buildings burned down murders and so on. This told to me by a State trooper who serves in Baltimore. I should say his brother relayed the information. Inner Harbor isn\'t even safe now. Good to see familiar peoples. Good to see Deacon man. |
| 2021-01-09 17:47:17 | Besoeker | Hello Deacon, TW, BrerRabbit, WM, Badanov, Mullah, Steve. I hope everyone had a nice holiday. |
| 2021-01-09 16:15:18 | Deacon Blues | I wasn\'t sure this was still available. Lost it when my hard drive crashed a few years ago. I have a high school friend who was at the protest. She said the Capitol building was not broken in to. People were let in and greated like normal. She said there was a group of about 30 people who were well coordinated who caused all the trouble. Had to be ANTIFA. The other people who went into the building were respectful of the building and caused no damage. |
| 2021-01-09 14:09:18 | BrerRabbit | Will do. I texted to Deacon Blues. Haven\'t got a response. |
| 2021-01-09 13:49:05 | trailing wife | Glad you found your way here, BrerRabbit! Share the site with Rantburgers you know privately, if you would be so kind. |
| 2021-01-09 12:39:51 | BrerRabbit | Hey all. I thought I remembered this place. Good to have found ya all again. Praying for Fred. I find it interesting that they\'re shutting down the sites before biden is sworn in. Like they have a fear. Also, all nancy has is impeachment like that will do anything... |
| 2021-01-09 12:34:29 | Whiskey Mike | Goblins indeed. |
| 2021-01-09 09:57:08 | badanov | Be advised. I gave money to the Trump camp, so I am a target now. If anyone chucks me overboard on socialist media, I will understand |
| 2021-01-09 09:56:42 | badanov | Be advised. I gave money to the Trump camp, so I am a target now. If anyone chucks me overboard on socialist, I will understand |
| 2021-01-09 09:28:51 | badanov | Also be advised that should that happen, the IP address will work as well. |
| 2021-01-09 09:28:17 | badanov | Looks like the goblins are going to fuck with the name service as well. Once Fred gets rantburg running, I will have an A record to point to it, such as rantburg.1dogstar.net |
| 2021-01-08 22:25:30 | trailing wife | Thank you for your report from the front, Visitor. |
| 2021-01-08 22:24:23 | trailing wife | bonginoreport.com and rantingly.com are documenting all the anti-Republican vileness, pjmedia.com is as well. Fred has a MeWe account, as do I as Jenifer Sawicki, though I am not terribly active on social media at the moment. |
| 2021-01-08 22:18:05 | trailing wife | You are generous, badanov. Fred definitely does not seem like he would be an asshole. |
| 2021-01-08 21:19:33 | badanov | Remember also I have my own mail server, which means I have absolute control over emails to and from me. The rig is secure, so if you want to contact me securely: gru@rkka.org I won\'t post this on socialist media, only here. |
| 2021-01-08 21:03:38 | badanov | SCFI: I think you are right with regard to dynamic IP, the obvious solution of which is to use a server such as DynDNS to resolve requests to the Rantburg server, which is likely what he did. |
| 2021-01-08 21:01:11 | badanov | Which means that Fred can continue to post articles, program what he wants and if the bad guys want to make a big deal out of the existence of Rantburg, they will have to deal with a much biggest asshole than Fred ever thought about being |
| 2021-01-08 20:59:31 | badanov | I plan to ask Fred to move Rantburg to a dedicated server. The cost is smaller than you think, and such a move will take potential hardware problems and network problems out his hands, and directly into mine. |
| 2021-01-08 20:33:27 | Visitor | on 1/6/21 I saw one confederate battle flag, 3x5. One old Alabama or Mississippi state flag. Not one time did I see a large battle flag as seen in many media sites. I was on site from 8:30-4:30. I tend to think that flag was photo shopped. I circled the entire capital prior to departure, saw no damaged doors. I saw no broken windows but I did see people carrying what may have been large sheets of bullet proof glass. I heard shouts of Antifa (12-4PM) and saw people chasing them but saw no actual members, I did see one 1/5/21 near the Capital. |
| 2021-01-08 20:11:53 | Matt | Although I confess to withdrawal pains, I think we can agree that Fred\'s health and Gloria\'s safety take precedence. |

| 2020-12-09 10:57:34 | Visitor | My new idea"In my opinion China is distributing biological elements by way of their shipping containers to places they deem hostile to their world domination efforts. USA of course, Europe, India, and Australia most recently. India stood up to China and now has a serious mystery illness of about 200 people in hospitals in Southern India. Australia sided with India against China regarding China\'s claim to all if the Indian ocean. So now Australia has major new Covid worse than ours in Southern Australia so a lock down has been instituted there. Bio weapon easily transported in shipping. I\'d bet you they don\'t disinfect arriving ships and containers". |

| 2019-06-04 13:44:00 | Visitor | Hi there great website! Does running a blog such as this take a large amount of work? I\'ve absolutely no knowledge of programming however I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyhow, if you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic however I just wanted to ask. Many thanks! |

| 2019-03-22 10:55:40 | Visitor | Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I\'m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I\'m thinking about making my own but I\'m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? With thanks |
| 2018-08-31 23:34:06 | Dale | My mistake. |
| 2018-08-30 19:19:24 | Dale | Server not found 8/30/18. Having trouble posting on Facebook also. Other sites OK. |

| 2018-03-26 16:01:12 | Visitor | One more thing. I really believe that there are a lot of travel insurance internet sites of respectable companies that allow you to enter your journey details and get you the rates. You can also purchase this international travel cover policy on the web by using your current credit card. All that you should do will be to enter all your travel particulars and you can begin to see the plans side-by-side. You only need to find the plan that suits your finances and needs then use your bank credit card to buy that. Travel insurance on the internet is a good way to check for a reputable company pertaining to international travel cover. Thanks for sharing your ideas. |

OH, he didn\'t ask about you. I did the same thing when the Doctor said I had acute Bronchitis. Hey, Doc I didn\'t think it was that pretty. |
| 2017-04-09 10:28:26 | Alaska Paul | The burg seems to be down. |

| 2016-07-23 21:20:30 | newc | You could open a couple of rooms on discord. That\'s more like a skype, but better. It\'s not an IRC. |
| 2016-07-23 11:25:35 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | At the time I was thinking I was thinking of an IRC channel thingey for the \'burg. Something that would work like this place or the o-club, but where I could use a console interface or a phone to check. A way to repeat the \'burg to a more phone-friendly format would be nice too. Some sort of .rss feed. I\'m kind of drained at the moment though and don\'t want to think about it now. |
| 2016-07-17 14:59:24 | newc | What are you wanting to do, Thing? There are lot\'s of free services. |

| 2016-07-07 19:39:37 | badanov | The server is up. The database isn\'t, so no site,yet. |
| 2016-07-07 18:07:26 | Barbara | It thinks you\'re witty, so it reposts what you say, Walter. ;-) |
| 2016-07-07 13:14:10 | walter | Don\'t know why this reposts each time I refresh. |
| 2016-07-07 13:13:21 | walter | Noticed last night. |
| 2016-07-07 12:01:10 | Barbara | Poor Fred. He\'s a GOD! (I\'d better cough up some money to him come payday.) |

| 2016-07-07 06:46:34 | Shipman | Yes thanks for the updates, I am to paranoid for FB. |
| 2016-07-07 06:31:31 | badanov | Thanks, TW |
| 2016-07-07 01:20:47 | trailing wife | badanov, I posted a brief note on the Rantburg Facbook page that Fred hopes to have the site up today. |
| 2016-07-06 23:08:05 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Thank you for keeping those of us not on facebook informed. |
| 2016-07-06 19:41:39 | badanov | Fred just posted.
It\'ll be tomorrow sometimes |
| 2016-07-06 19:41:06 | walter | Shipman - another option with or without RAID on linux is LVM - Logical Volume Mgmt. Its okay but you never really want the boot drive on it. |
| 2016-07-06 18:40:50 | badanov | I made Fred an offer he\'ll prolly refuse that doesn\'t include a RAID setup. And to answer your question, I have zero idea. Linux offers physical as well as virtual raids. |
| 2016-07-06 17:04:41 | Shipman | Fred has his reasons. But I will pitch in a bit more if he can set up a RAID # BadMan is setting up a RAID tricky with Linnux? All is good 0/Fred |

| 2016-07-06 14:29:46 | walter | Oh and if Fred is viewing and wants the Canadian companies address I can look for it for him. I only paid $49 plus some Canadian customs fees. |
| 2016-07-06 13:58:28 | walter | Oh and if Fred is viewing and wants the Canadian companies address I can look for it for him. I only paid $49 plus some Canadian customs fees. |
| 2016-07-06 13:55:51 | walter | Barbara - The easy fix would have been to take the last backup and put it on a new drive. Fred added a lot of complexity to the repair with a new computer and new operating system. There might be real good reasons for it but that\'s what it is. I had a similar problem a few years ago where a drive shorted out. The short took out the rest of the computer so backups didn\'t really accomplish much. I wanted the data on the drive and a company in canada had a solution. I sent them the shorted logic circuit on the drive and they sent me back a new one with control information copied from the dead board. I placed that on the drive, put the drive in another computer, took all the recent info off it an put the drive in a junk box. (can\'t trust it at that point) That still wouldn\'t help restore an install because the core computer was toast and new ones are different hardware. |
| 2016-07-06 13:49:13 | walter | Another question - have there been any terror or assassination attacks anywhere from a quadcopter drone - commercial or toy? Even a pointing laser on one? If not I wonder why? |
| 2016-07-06 13:49:09 | Barbara | Poor Fred. Whatever he\'s having to do to get Rantburg back up and running, he\'d not paid enough. :-( |
| 2016-07-06 13:40:25 | walter | If any of you are familiar with ITAR regulator\'s thought processes - I\'ve got a question: If extreme hi-res earth data is processed by a secure computer at a secure site but only low resolution data with hi-res insight was available to the customer would it violate ITAR. This is, in a sense, already done to provide ITAR acceptable images to customers from the high res satellite\'s data stream - just the analysis phase added. It\'s really a "How their minds work" question. |
| 2016-07-06 13:15:40 | badanov | No idea, Glen. I\'m as in the dark as you are. |
| 2016-07-06 12:48:26 | Glenmore | Boss is still having trouble getting the new system up and stable? |
| 2016-07-06 08:49:53 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Russians? Minsk? This is how it feels to be American after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. |
| 2016-07-06 00:23:36 | badanov | Hillary will be unstoppable now. Now you know how the Russians felt the moment the Germans closed the ring around Minsk, 75 years ago. |
| 2016-07-05 22:41:35 | badanov | It\'s early yet. It\'s a whole lot more likely about riots and civil disorder than civil war. It all hinges on how frisky Hillary\'s supporters get. |
| 2016-07-05 22:15:35 | DarthVader | If Donald Trump wins, we can expect large riots and civil disorder. If Hillary wins, we can expect a civil war. Either way it is gonna get ugly. |
| 2016-07-05 18:57:45 | Besoeker | Such an "honest, dedicated public servant" that FBI Director Comey. Yes, but of course. Shades of Supreme Court Justice Roberts. |
| 2016-07-05 18:48:38 | Barbara | Sorry, Ship - I didn\'t. Which thread? |
| 2016-07-05 17:57:42 | badanov | Walt said: seen in comments on the net: "So, get ready for the Carrie-on-Prom-Night Presidency." |
| 2016-07-05 17:51:44 | Steve White | I think we\'re going to be saying "President Clinton" next year. And "Empress Hillary" the year after... |
| 2016-07-05 16:57:25 | Shipman | Hi Barb, see my note to you at WUWT? |
| 2016-07-05 14:11:19 | badanov | No attack. |
| 2016-07-05 14:01:11 | newc | It would come back and then stop again. probably ddos attack |
| 2016-07-05 13:14:11 | Besoeker | FBI Director Comey folds his tent, does not recommend indictments against Clinton, despite evidence of law breaking and wrong doing. Very sad day for America. |
| 2016-07-05 13:12:36 | Barbara | Bummer. I\'ll keep checking back. |

| 2016-07-04 16:49:44 | Visitor | Got up early this morning to clean the evaporator coil on the downstairs AC unit. And a lovely job it was. Hoping for a quiet nap and afternoon of blog\'n enjoyment.... but NOOOOOOO. I was able to post that bit about Clinton deciding to keep Loretta Lynch on board.

| 2016-06-30 22:48:53 | Pappy | Lady takes her parrot to a vet and says he\'s not eating and spends his time moping around in his cage.\Vet says "I believe your parrot is lonely."\Lady says "But he has me. I play him music and give him treats-"\Vet interrupts.\ "Lady, when I say lonely, I mean -lonely-."\ "Oh," says the lady. "But that means a female parrot. I can\'t have another bird in my apartment."\ "How about a \'temporary friend\'?" says the vet. "I have a female parrot. But it will cost you five hundred dollars."\"Five hundred dollars!" gasped the lady.\"She\'s a pedigreed bird and in big demand.," said the vet. "That\'s her breeding fee, Take it or leave it."\After a bit of thought, the lady writes a check and the vet takes her parrot into a back room and puts him in the cage with his female parrot.\A few minutes later, they both hear all kinds of squawking and screaming.\ The two rush into the room and find the male has pinned down the female and is plucking out her feathers, while screaming "For five hundred bucks, I want you naked! Hear me? Naked!" |
| 2016-06-30 19:44:28 | Dale | Real quick, parrot squawks at the lady you\'re ugly.She complains to the shop owner. Next day same parrot and lady stands by him and the parrot says " you know what I was gonna say". Good one Mr. B. |
| 2016-06-30 14:18:04 | Shipman | Looks like FP is making a bit of progress. I suspect this is some sort of asymmetric fundraising plo. I will take the staples out of my wallet for once. |
| 2016-06-30 12:00:37 | badanov | TWO CATHOLIC PARROTS... A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, \'Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, But they only know to say one thing.\' \'What do they say?\' the priest asked. They say, \'Hi, we\'re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?\' \'That\'s obscene!\' the priest exclaimed,Then he thought for a moment......\'You know,\' he said, \'I may have a solution to your problem.I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible...Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we\'ll put them in the cage with Francis and Peter. My parrots can teach your parrots to pray and worship, And your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time.\' \'Thank you,\' the woman responded,\'this may very well be the solution.\' The next day,She brought her female parrots to the priest\'s house.... As he ushered her in,She saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage holding rosary beads and praying... Impressed,she walked over and placed her parrots in with them... After a few minutes,The female parrots cried out in unison: Hi, we\'re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?\' There was stunned silence...Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and says...\'Put the beads away, Frank, Our prayers have been answered !!! |

| 2016-06-30 05:16:01 | Shipman | Where the heart lives? |
| 2016-06-30 00:12:03 | Alaska Paul | OK quiz on meaning of vanity license plate on my pickup. It is as follows: N66 338 Take your best guess. |
| 2016-06-30 00:11:00 | Alaska Paul | Things are looking up. Got an Apache2 Debian Default Page up on the burg and the OC. Fred---I realize what a huge job this has been! Will send you a goodly contribution on Friday when I get paid! Your hard work is appreciated in the far north. |
| 2016-06-29 22:33:07 | Pappy | Yeah, I\'ll have to chase the moths outta the billfold myself. |
| 2016-06-29 19:13:54 | Shipman | Looks like FP is making a bit of progress. I suspect this is some sort of asymmetric fundraising plo. I will take the staples out of my wallet for once. |
| 2016-06-29 18:08:42 | Shipman | Ukraine is nothing! Nothing! You are surrounded. |
| 2016-06-29 14:24:01 | badanov | Ukrainians just launched an attack on Logvinovka. |
| 2016-06-29 13:51:37 | badanov | Linux allows for virtual RAIDs. |
| 2016-06-29 13:28:48 | Shipman | Fred got the keyboard sticky, need new compooter syndrome. Bet he knew exactly the box he was gonna buy :) Any chance of getting RAID 1? |
| 2016-06-29 07:00:57 | badanov | Ship: HP desktop with 12GB RAM, 2 TB storage, I5 processor. |
| 2016-06-29 06:04:29 | Shipman | Machine? A new box, not a hard drive? |
| 2016-06-29 05:55:52 | trailing wife | For those who do Facebook, Rantburg now has a Facebook page. Fred posted there that he is having trouble programming the replacement machine to his satisfaction. |
| 2016-06-29 01:29:05 | Shipman | Starting to worry about FredMan. |
| 2016-06-29 01:19:38 | badanov | I get the reason why. Some php programmers want to open the database using an include file so that if an error occurs, the user down\'t see the database credentials. You can still do that, but now you must add an additional database command in the program you are using. |
| 2016-06-29 01:17:59 | badanov | php programming language has changed the way it deals with databases requring essentially two commands to open a database for queries. |
| 2016-06-29 00:26:38 | badanov | Hopefully I fixed the posting problem here |
| 2016-06-29 00:26:14 | badanov | They don\'t have anyone more radical than Corbyn is why the vote was nonbinding. |
| 2016-06-28 23:31:30 | Pappy | Which sounds like something Labor would do. |
| 2016-06-28 23:31:02 | Pappy | Labor passed a nonbinding no-confidence vote on Corbyn. |
| 2016-06-28 21:51:22 | badanov | Gawd damn mess, iffin you ask me. |
| 2016-06-28 21:46:07 | badanov | test |
| 2016-06-28 19:03:34 | trailing wife | Drudge Report has lots of links on the Ataturk Airport attack. Times of Israel sez AK-47s and probably ISIS. It would be cynical to expect that the Kurds will be receiving undue Turkish attention shortly. |
| 2016-06-28 18:13:56 | Shipman | Mullah you using some sorta iOS? |
| 2016-06-28 17:34:28 | Mullah Richard | Terror attack at Istanbul Ataturk Airport. At least 28 people have been killed and 60 others wounded. |
| 2016-06-28 17:18:38 | Mullah Richard | Nope. Android or Windoze depending on the day. |
| 2016-06-28 17:06:17 | Shipman | Mullah you using some sorta iOS? |
| 2016-06-28 16:00:23 | Mullah Richard | Same here |
| 2016-06-28 15:37:58 | Shipman | Any comment deeper than Gooooo Gaters is eaten. |
| 2016-06-28 14:51:43 | trailing wife | The Italians are trying to use Brexit to get Germany to loosen limits on deficit spending, so they can go on as they were accustomed to in the old days. |
| 2016-06-28 11:12:33 | badanov | Pure poetry from Wretchard T. Cat
When the Italians stop waving at the Brits on the lifeboats fleeing the Titanic and notice the water sloshing around their ankles. |
| 2016-06-28 10:26:06 | Shipman | Whoops refresh made Briscoe show up |
| 2016-06-28 09:30:36 | Bulldawg Briscoe | This stinks! |
| 2016-06-28 06:56:07 | Dale | Hello All. OS must not have this hidey-hole or lost it. Fred must be having a difficult time. Best wishes to him and to all. |
| 2016-06-28 00:12:47 | badanov | Reminds me of the early 1980s. |
| 2016-06-27 23:47:50 | Pappy | Corbyn may not last much longer. |
| 2016-06-27 23:47:35 | Pappy | UK Labor is out for blood. |
| 2016-06-27 22:48:48 | badanov | My gru mail address is working now. And before you ask, not a peep from Fred. |
| 2016-06-27 20:54:00 | trailing wife | I think so, Shipman. |
| 2016-06-27 18:52:30 | Shipman | Is this a record outage? |
| 2016-06-27 15:16:11 | badanov | One drive, backedup every so often, I guess. Not intimately familiar with the details. |
| 2016-06-27 15:03:22 | Shipman | Just oughta curiosity is there one disk or a Some sort redundant array? |
| 2016-06-27 14:36:36 | badanov | Thank Gawd for hard links. Was able to resolve my perl editing problem by creating a shortcut that pointed to the correct program. |
| 2016-06-27 14:04:24 | badanov | Going to Chernarus. BBL |
| 2016-06-27 12:46:42 | Bulldawg Briscoe | This stinks! |
| 2016-06-27 12:22:00 | Shipman | Test |
| 2016-06-27 11:26:26 | badanov | No idea, TW |
| 2016-06-27 10:07:16 | trailing wife | Hmm. Was badanov doing something with his PERL scripts,or was I zinged by a stray gamma ray? |
| 2016-06-27 10:05:50 | trailing wife | Just tried to post a secomd comment, got this: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator at expedite@procyondata.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

| 2016-06-27 10:05:05 | trailing wife | Just checked. Still no connection. |
| 2016-06-27 10:03:41 | trailing wife | Just checked. Still no connection. |
| 2016-06-27 08:32:34 | Pappy | Loverly. |
| 2016-06-27 07:13:40 | badanov | I found out last night that I have around 200+ perl scripts which will have to be edited so they can work again. The people at FreeBSD moved the perl executable to another location. |
| 2016-06-27 07:09:26 | badanov | Fred has his server. The transition should be quick. |
| 2016-06-27 06:30:36 | trailing wife | Good morning! Still no Burg. :-( |
| 2016-06-27 06:24:12 | Shipman | Number 2 now Bad |
| 2016-06-27 05:44:12 | badanov | No idea, Pappy. |
| 2016-06-27 00:08:38 | Pappy | Anything related to the previous cooling failure? |
| 2016-06-27 00:05:03 | Pappy | HD failure? Ouch. |
| 2016-06-26 23:52:08 | trailing wife | :-) |
| 2016-06-26 22:17:48 | badanov | Were back |
| 2016-06-26 22:17:15 | badanov | werwer |
| 2016-06-25 23:55:42 | badanov | Thanks AP |
| 2016-06-25 23:46:31 | Alaska Paul | Burg down. Writing technical report, drinking wine, eating yogurt with fresh blueberries. ANNNNND, babysitting sleeping 10 mo grandson. Help yourself to victuals including sourdough bread and Irish cheese variety. |
| 2016-06-25 23:40:16 | badanov | Thanks, TW |
| 2016-06-25 23:39:49 | Steve White | Looks like a hard drive failure according to the Boss. We'll be down for a bit. |
| 2016-06-25 23:38:58 | trailing wife | Thanks for this place, badanov. I'll set up the coffee machine for those who want it. |
| 2016-06-25 23:18:44 | badanov | Rantburg will be down prolly for most of Sunday. Details coming. |
| 2016-02-15 19:55:36 | Pappy | Testing |
| 2016-01-19 09:00:44 | Visitor | Testing |
| 2016-01-01 21:23:58 | Visitor | Hunting on Fort Benning. Roads along the Hooch closed due to flooding. Saw 3 yearlings, no takers. Oh well, a bad day in the woods is better than.... oh no, the Burg is down :-( |
| 2015-11-18 21:52:06 | badanov | Stand by. Working the problem as we speak |
| 2015-11-15 19:34:54 | Alaska Paul | Is the burg down? I posted a comment with a map of al Raqqa, and then, after 10 minutes no connection. ;<( |
| 2015-05-20 08:00:34 | Dale | Ditto B |
| 2015-04-06 20:50:38 | badanov | Bloody hell. |
| 2015-01-25 12:57:08 | Alaska Paul | Pretty quiet w/o the burg. Went for a hike yesterday up the valley. +12F. 2 in snow on the trail. 10 miles r/t. Dog did 20 heheh. This AM -7F. Nice fire going in wood stove. We're good. |
| 2015-01-25 12:51:43 | Mullah Richard | Seems that way |
| 2015-01-25 12:31:19 | Pappy | I take it we're down again? |
| 2014-12-21 08:14:32 | badanov | We're back for now |
| 2014-12-21 08:14:14 | badanov | We're back for now |
| 2014-12-21 08:14:09 | badanov | We're back for now |
| 2014-12-21 08:13:33 | trailing wife | badanov did something, and now the Burg is back. Woo hoo! |
| 2014-12-21 07:27:32 | trailing wife | Then it's not just me. Good to know, Besoeker. The killer has a Muslim name, according to the Daily Mail, a possible connection to that black prison gang that swore to kill policemen, and he killed his girlfriend in Baltimore before setting out for NYC. Fred is, I believe, travelling. If badanov can't fix it from a distance... |
| 2014-12-21 05:31:42 | Besoeker | Same here. Breitbart ran an article I had hoped to post regarding "laughing and clapping" in the vicinity of the NYPD killings. An oncologist might say, 'we're in stage four.' |
| 2014-12-21 04:31:54 | trailing wife | Just tried to get into Editor, Poster, the O Club, and Rantburg proper. All yielded: Unable to connect to Postgres server! |
| 2014-12-09 17:58:14 | Dale | Pappy they look glum. The refrigerator is looking kinda poorly. |
| 2014-12-09 17:54:55 | Dale | Nip in the air :) |
| 2014-10-21 13:13:00 | trailing wife | Rantburg was back up by 12:46, according to the first comment. My thanks to Fred and badanov for fixing whatever was broke. |
| 2014-10-21 09:52:59 | Alaska Paul | Had our first snow in ANC Sunday night. north of ANC we had 1 inch. The Hillside got 9 inches. |
| 2014-10-21 09:32:25 | Pappy | Appears to be, since about 4:30 Pacific. |
| 2014-10-21 08:59:45 | Alaska Paul | Is the burg down? |
| 2014-10-21 07:30:32 | Pappy | Probably a good thing I did... |
| 2014-10-20 08:09:49 | Pappy | Dropping in to see if the refrigerator is stocked... |
| 2014-09-23 19:02:26 | Silentbrick | It's 85 degrees here in Texas. I'd prefer 32 to kill off the bugs but alas, the ice age isn't that far along. |
| 2014-09-23 16:44:48 | Visitor | Oh. Jeez. That's awkward. Stream o' limerickness. Sorry. Withdrawal made me do it. |
| 2014-09-23 16:43:17 | Visitor | Mouldy joints from the boneyard of unposted doggerel. This volume, my bookloving friend, I'm afraid that I can't recommend. It's a very short text, But it left me perplexed. I shall quote it in toto: "The End" This tome made a very quick read Which I finished at hair-raising speed. As I felt my heart's pumps And flipped pages with stumps I could hardly take time out to bleed! No classic, this reader surmises, But golly, it's full of surprises! Well, especially one. I won't say it was fun, With its loud literary devices. If you're seeking a really quick read, This novel is just what you need. From the very first page, You'll be fully engaged, And be done in a flash, guaranteed. Young readers with an interest in bombs And magical books and pogroms, Will relish this tale Of a martyrdom fail As they read it aloud with their moms. A cell of old Jewish librarians, All Czech-speaking sexagenarians, Are sworn to pursue The extreme overdue, Knocking off non-returning barbarians. |
| 2014-09-23 15:13:58 | Silentbrick | It's 85 degrees here in Texas. I'd prefer 32 to kill off the bugs but alas, the ice age isn't that far along. |
| 2014-09-23 15:10:49 | Alaska Paul | Besoeker---you are incorrigible...... |
| 2014-09-23 14:39:37 | Besoeker | Japanese parachutist weather, a little nip in the air. |
| 2014-09-23 14:21:15 | Alaska Paul | Hello, TW. Weather good here in Alaska. Partly cloudy but nights are starting to be chilly. |
| 2014-09-23 14:07:28 | Alaska Paul | Hello, TW. Weather good here in Alaska. Partly cloudy but nights are starting to be chilly. |
| 2014-09-23 14:01:50 | trailing wife | Oh good -- it's not that I need a new iPad, then. |
| 2014-09-23 13:58:24 | Besoeker | Appears to be down, yes. |
| 2014-09-23 13:52:43 | Visitor | yo! |
| 2014-09-23 13:35:32 | Alaska Paul | Burg down? |
| 2014-07-02 10:22:11 | Besoeker | Ingrham issued a scathing rebuke of Rubio and the Pub immigration advocates in a broadcast that can be found on this morning's Breitbart. |
| 2014-07-02 09:39:39 | trailing wife | Ok, I just proved that the break room does not accept URLs. So much for sharing the article about the Kurds literally digging in their new frontiers facing the Caliphate. Bagels, muffins, and an assortment of Dunkin Donut's finest are on that bench over there, the coffee machine is making something vile and black, and badanov did not stock the fridge with a variety of choice mineral waters. There might be Yuengling, though. |
| 2014-07-02 09:07:53 | Besoeker | Now we know what Lois Lerner feels like. |
| 2014-07-02 07:31:30 | Dale | Both sites down. Momma said there would be days like these. What's in the cooler?. It wasn't me? It was the guy with the tie. |
| 2014-07-02 07:11:26 | trailing wife | Is the Burg down again? |
| 2014-06-25 23:49:39 | Silentbrick | Unable to connect to Postgres server! |
| 2014-06-25 23:09:08 | Silentbrick | Unable to connect to Postgres server! |
| 2014-06-25 23:03:55 | Silentbrick | hmmmm, looks like a repeat from before perhaps. |
| 2014-05-15 23:56:34 | badanov | Done publishing |
| 2014-05-15 23:46:46 | badanov | Did it that time. Back up. Keep publishing |
| 2014-05-15 23:44:44 | badanov | Same problem as before. Database refuses to accept start signals |
| 2014-05-15 23:40:43 | trailing wife | Odd -- at my end of the world all the clocks read 12:06 a.m. ET... |
| 2014-05-15 23:39:51 | trailing wife | The Burg seems to be down again. I'm not sure if I got as many as a dozen stories published before it went down. But the Bloid was published, badanov, so when it comes up again, the readers will know what they're missing. ;-) |
| 2014-05-15 10:15:52 | trailing wife | The burg came back up around 9:30, according to the comments. Sixty-seven articles published, presumably by Fred. |
| 2014-05-15 08:22:29 | Pappy | Morning. Taking a co-worker to a medical appointment in Riverside. See youse all tonight. |
| 2014-05-15 06:18:07 | trailing wife | Not yet. Good morning. Going back to sleep. |
| 2014-05-15 00:03:55 | trailing wife | There were about 65 articles in the end, and one more that i would very much like to post. So as soon as the 'burg is back up, we're ready to rock. In the meantime, I'm going to call it a night. Mr. Wife is out of town, so I'm on duty tonight. If I happen to awaken in the middle of the night, as I often do, I'll poke my head in over there to see what's up. |
| 2014-05-14 23:59:20 | badanov | No. I can't even log in. And unless and until Fred can gain a local console, there will be no Rantburg. |
| 2014-05-14 23:50:16 | trailing wife | Anybody publish the articles in the hopper before that, perchance? |
| 2014-05-14 23:42:17 | badanov | You guessed right. Stand by. |
| 2014-05-14 23:09:31 | Pappy | I take it we's down again? |
| 2014-05-11 20:06:22 | Steve White | We are posting articles for tomorrow and hope that the Burg is working fine. Please report problems here. |
| 2014-05-11 18:03:17 | Pappy | Got this placed bookmarked (for once...) |
| 2014-05-11 17:48:44 | Shipman | I was just kinda beginning to feel at home here |
| 2014-05-11 17:37:41 | badanov | Rantburg is back. According to Fred, "sorta", which means, it's back. |
| 2014-05-11 16:15:58 | Mullah Richard | Good afternoon, all. After a morning at Church (and a 'thrilling' brunch due to the shenanigans of an unnamed grandchild), we're home. Happy Mothers Day to all the 'Burgers. |
| 2014-05-11 15:35:47 | badanov | Penelope is back. Sunday is empty, and everything else is working as it has at around 1500 hrs EDT |
| 2014-05-11 15:13:28 | Pappy | Saw an Illushyn landed at Lindbergh about a decade or so back. I've never been lucky enough to see one take off from there. |
| 2014-05-11 11:43:57 | Besoeker | I got a call from Flt Opns at a FOB in Iraq back in 2006 telling me that a shipment of supplies was waiting the end of the runway. I jumped in the RANGER and raced down to find a massive Illushyn idling, whilst the crew was anxiously waiting for me to sign the bill of lading. The cargo had already been off-loaded. I couldn't speak RU, none of them spoke English. I signed, we all smiled. They jogged back to that monster, taxied, and smoked off into a climb-out. No spiral, no flares. |
| 2014-05-11 11:39:59 | badanov | Still trying to work the problem. |
| 2014-05-11 11:34:23 | Bill Clinton | I was at Wheelus about six months ago, seemed strange seeing all of the Antonov and Illushyn heavy lift aircraft there...sad. |
| 2014-05-11 11:32:45 | Bill Clinton | Goodness, I am into the "Joneses" really bad for Rantburg. What the heck happened? What's the latest gossip, rumor, or outrageous truth for today? |
| 2014-05-11 11:32:44 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | What do you mean by 'cloud?' Subcontract out the server hardware to somewhere else? I'm not sure that would really solve any problems. |
| 2014-05-11 11:08:27 | badanov | IIRC, that fot's from the Lawrence Livermore machine shop in the 1940s |
| 2014-05-11 10:55:59 | DarthVader | We need to get Rantburg into a cloud configuration. I'm starting to go into withdrawl..... twitch... twitch... Happy mother's day to all the moms out there! |
| 2014-05-11 10:27:35 | Steve White | Erk. That was me. |
| 2014-05-11 10:27:21 | Visitor | Happy Mother's Day to everyone. I'm told Fred and Badanov are still working on the server. |
| 2014-05-11 10:19:14 | Frank G | happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there and especially at the Burg |
| 2014-05-11 10:02:40 | Shipman | BadMan, you got a link to a larger version of that picture? I see balloons or perhaps arrows. |
| 2014-05-11 09:20:42 | Shipman | Whoops, no links allowed! |
| 2014-05-11 09:14:56 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Good morning, I hope everyone enjoys themselves today. |
| 2014-05-11 08:57:56 | Mugsy Glink | Happy Mothers Day, etc. Starting around noonish, it's T-showers in the Cincy area, which means instead of going to the Reds/Rockies game for umbrella time with my favorite daughter-in-law and grandkids, I'll drop into the Burg break room from time to time and watch the unpaid IT crew tinker with technology. |
| 2014-05-11 08:50:52 | Deacon Blues | Morning, All. This place doesn't look half-bad. I love the smell of machine oil in the morning. Thanks for breakfast, tw. |
| 2014-05-11 08:40:51 | badanov | That's true, Ship, but for the fact this is a crappy backwater, which it was before the problems. |
| 2014-05-11 08:40:07 | Mugsy Glink | Happy Mothers Day, etc. Starting around noonish, it's T-showers in the Cincy area, which means instead of going to the Reds/Rockies game for umbrella time with my favorite daughter-in-law and grandkids, I'll drop into the Burg break room from time to time and watch the unpaid IT crew tinker with technology. |
| 2014-05-11 08:38:10 | trailing wife | Fascinating. The machine shop doesn't allow paragraphs. You have been warned. |
| 2014-05-11 08:36:54 | trailing wife | Good morning! In honour of Silentbrick, It's an old fashined breakfast. On the much-scrubbed surface over there -- no, I don't know what badanov uses it for, but it's flat and at close to the proper height -- we have a variety of bagels, breads for toasting, and muffins. Also, plum-tarragon jam and grape jelly, butter, honey, cream cheese, and lox. The muffins are lemon-poppyseed and bran-raisin-chocolate chip. Because chocolate chips make almost everything better. And I brought in a wide-slot toaster. Hot plate with a frying pan on that other flat surface, the one near the electric outlet. Fixings for omelettes: eggs, diced onion, diced green peppers, diced mushrooms, salt and pepper, chedder and Emmenthal Swiss cheese for shredding, bacon and diced ham for the carnivores. (badanov, we will clean up thoroughly afterward.) Irish Breakfast tea and Jamaica Blue coffee in individual serving bags next to the microwave, fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juices in the fridge in addition to badanov's usual. Don't drink the last if you're on meds, it makes an ever-increasing lost of them metabolize funny. No, there is no champagne, this is a machine shop, for goodness sake! Autobartender's patented to-go cups are on top of the microwave for those of you in a hurry. Happy Mother's Day for all of you who are, have, or know a mother! |
| 2014-05-11 08:29:47 | Visitor | Looks like my mom (90yrs) ordered a command appearance this M-Day at church so I can't return to bed. Must mean mom's are not wired to quit being mom's. Sigh. |
| 2014-05-11 08:24:49 | Shipman | I figure BadMan is angling for Fred's traffic. Not a bad ploy, kinda transparent, that or Pappy wanted a day or 2 off. |
| 2014-05-11 08:16:02 | badanov | Fred: Do you have the apache server throttled? |
| 2014-05-11 08:05:35 | Pappy | Ah, good(?) morning. |
| 2014-05-11 06:23:18 | Shipman | Later. Don't dream of Parkway PoBoys |
| 2014-05-11 06:18:58 | Silentbrick | Nope. It's no joke. We don't get low on water like we used to but this is definitely not a cruise ship. Only the PDQ has a flotel that I know of though. They're a strange duck too, semi-permanent platform. Internet is horrid too, usually around 8 kbs. Not exactly blistering fast. Anyway, another 12 hour day done, time for me to crawl to bed. Hope the 'Burg is back tonight. Later Shipman. |
| 2014-05-11 06:05:31 | Shipman | You're not pulling my leg? I really thought given the conditions the owners of the rig would (excuse the expression) go overboard with small the shit amenities. Maybe that's been consigned the flotels? I've only read about them on gCaptain.com but they look nice. |
| 2014-05-11 05:55:12 | Silentbrick | Yes well, Rule # 1 - If it makes sense, you can't do it. And these companies do know it, cause when their contract is up, they get run off but they know in a year or two, the rigs are unhappy and the previous time gets forgotten and the cycle starts again. The bad food doesn't bug me nearly as much as the far too often running out of water. |
| 2014-05-11 05:49:24 | Shipman | That's a stupid place to cut corners. Food is everything in an isolated place. |
| 2014-05-11 05:27:32 | Silentbrick | Oh sure, the food when they hire a new food service company is great. There's quality ingredients, etc. Once they got the contract, why keep the profit margin small by buying good stuff and instead buy cheap nasty stuff and pocket the rest. We've had two different catering companies out here, when the bigwigs are out here, food is great, next day it goes back to being horrid. Steaks that 1/2 fat, with little flavor, all vegetables are boiled to mush, so that they are bland and tasteless or worse, covered in butter and oil to give them flavor. The salad bar is often wilted and just looks bad. They have a horrid fascination with adding cheese to things. They can even make bacon unappetizing. How I don't know. I really don't and it's scary. There's never snacks in the break rooms. Sadly, the best food I had was on a jackup rig just off the coast. The rig was horrid, they let them smoke in the change room, which means smoke went everywhere inside and it was a filthy nasty place. Except the kitchen, and the food was awesome. Some places have decent food but most I find have sub-par food, since companies will scrimp on quality to get more profit. |
| 2014-05-11 05:10:04 | Shipman | Whoa, not a good time to be elsewhere for sure. I am surprised you don't approve of the food on the rig. I would have supposed that much thought and cash would have gone into making a good menu. |
| 2014-05-11 04:37:57 | Silentbrick | Mainly because after a week out there my wife told me she's got a munchkin on board:D Not a fun time to be away from the wife. |
| 2014-05-11 04:35:38 | Silentbrick | Yes, out in the gulf on the West Capricorn. Luckily just for two weeks this hitch. Last hitch was 28 days. Was going crazy. Really crazy. |
| 2014-05-11 04:14:36 | Shipman | Off shore rig SilentB? |
| 2014-05-11 03:35:28 | Silentbrick | Bah, pizza. The pizza on the rig is horrible. The steaks are a crime against nature. And I've been doing trip sheets for 9 days straight out here. It's driving me crazy. |
| 2014-05-11 03:26:58 | Shipman | We should order a pizza. |
| 2014-05-11 03:21:17 | Fred | Since my brain's not working anymore I'm going to take a nap. Maybe I'll be smarter when I wake up. |
| 2014-05-11 01:36:19 | trailing wife | I'll wait until morning, then. I can handle sleeping first, truly. ;-) Thank you for what you two are doing. |
| 2014-05-11 01:21:13 | badanov | TW: Most doable, except both Fred and I were thinking only of diagnosing the problem and failing to grasp what we were trying to fix. |
| 2014-05-11 01:17:24 | badanov | Careful. the 'Burg still hangs up something fierce. |
| 2014-05-11 00:59:30 | Silentbrick | It's funny, but it's days like these, Rantburg free that make me twitch and realize how much I enjoy the place. And the comments. So funny watching trolls get chewed on or getting angles to the news I'd never see otherwise. |
| 2014-05-11 00:53:33 | trailing wife | And the O Club shows a link to here. :-) Poster's up? I have work to do before I fall asleep. |
| 2014-05-11 00:28:39 | badanov | poster works |
| 2014-05-11 00:26:16 | trailing wife | They'll still be shaking from withdrawal when next Sherry posts her bleg. Snowy Thing, the world hasn't blown itself up, as far as I'm aware. badanov, in future would it be possible to post some sort of placeholder notice along the lines of "Rantburg is temporarily disabled. We're working to restore it", or is that not doable when the site is down? |
| 2014-05-11 00:06:40 | badanov | This may take awhile... |
| 2014-05-10 21:15:39 | trailing wife | *giggle* You have fun playing with the toys, Shipman. But if youi blow something up, you'll have to replace it out of your allowance. Fred switched out the server today. He's in the process of restoring the database and chasing down critical bugs. |
| 2014-05-10 20:54:09 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Hopefully nothing important's happening this weekend. |
| 2014-05-10 20:53:40 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Raybans may-or-may-not be made of the correct polycarbonate. |
| 2014-05-10 20:50:40 | trailing wife | *giggle* You have fun playing with the toys, Shipman. But if youi blow something up, you'll have to replace it out of your allowance. Fred switched out the server today. He's in the process of restoring the database and chasing down critical bugs. |
| 2014-05-10 18:23:06 | Shipman | Hey look at all the stuff! Shinny and clean. Watch me make this one go! I will turn on the vaccuum pump for safety and wear Raybans. |
| 2014-05-10 17:28:52 | trailing wife | I sent an email to Fred and badanov asking what's up, but haven't yet heard back. Either they're working frantically, or they're attending to real life and haven't noticed the problem. |
| 2014-05-10 17:06:39 | trailing wife | I made a batch of brownies to hold us, dale, and badanov supplies microwave popcorn and "libations", which means that it can't be all beer. And it is a machine shop, so somewhere around here there has to be clean water. ;-) |
| 2014-05-10 16:02:43 | Dale | Where's the snacks? Slim Pickens. |
| 2014-05-10 16:00:52 | Dale | At this time same problems with O Club and Rantburg. I miss my fix. |
| 2014-05-10 15:53:38 | trailing wife | Perhaps Fred is setting up the back up thingy... |
| 2014-05-10 15:43:22 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | I think I'll go take a nap. |
| 2014-05-10 15:16:59 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | It's down for me too. |
| 2014-05-10 14:34:28 | trailing wife | Or local weather, even. |
| 2014-05-10 14:34:03 | trailing wife | Is Rantburg down, or is it my lical weather? |
| 2014-05-02 10:33:57 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | |
| 2014-05-02 09:35:08 | Mullah Richard | Refreshed page in my browser and it 'multi-posted'. Should have actually read the instructions above. |
| 2014-05-02 09:33:53 | Mullah Richard | Think I'll wait here for a bit. |
| 2014-05-02 09:33:47 | Mullah Richard | Think I'll wait here for a bit. |
| 2014-05-02 09:03:07 | Mullah Richard | Think I'll wait here for a bit. |
| 2014-03-29 10:09:10 | badanov | Executed remote reboot. Should be up in two minutes |
| 2014-03-29 09:45:56 | Glenmore | Rantburg down; times out loading. |
| 2014-03-22 01:32:44 | badanov | Rantburg.com down again |
| 2014-03-20 19:40:35 | trailing wife | Eek! double post. And thus it os demonstrated, my dears, not to click on refresh up in the Address bar. Now to see if the 'burg is still open for business. |
| 2014-03-20 19:38:59 | trailing wife | It looks like Fred is playing under the hood again. Darn it -- I was hoping for a flood of wonderful article submission based on the duet on the subject Dr. Steve and I sang. ;-) Ah well, I guess w'll just have to roll over both articles to tomorrow -- time = eyeballs, donchaknow. |
| 2014-03-20 18:10:17 | badanov | Yes, it's NCAA mens basketball tournament time. Some Thursday evening Dire Straits: |
| 2014-03-20 17:49:01 | badanov | Aaaand, we're back. |
| 2014-03-20 17:09:02 | Alaska Paul | This site is a decent backup. I just stumbled on the Rantburg Junior mailing list we had some years ago for emergencies like this. |
| 2014-03-20 17:07:06 | Alaska Paul | No Burg, all right. Deacon sent me an email. Well, the machine shop looks populated, and I needed a break from reading a 42 page environmental assessment...... |
| 2014-03-20 17:01:02 | trailing wife | It looks like Fred is playing under the hood again. Darn it -- I was hoping for a flood of wonderful article submission based on the duet on the subject Dr. Steve and I sang. ;-) Ah well, I guess w'll just have to roll over both articles to tomorrow -- time = eyeballs, donchaknow. |
| 2014-03-20 15:50:22 | badanov | Howdy. Can't log in via ssh, so I s'pect Rantburg will be down a spell. |
| 2014-03-20 12:34:06 | Shipman | That's life, it's always one damn thing after another. |
| 2014-03-18 13:42:41 | trailing wife | I just sent an email to Fred about this. (Just noticed we're having Postgres issues again -- my morning nap ran longer than usual) Yesterday the problem was with the server. We'll see what it is today. |
| 2014-03-18 13:41:50 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Looks like things are down again. For the moment: (Link redacted so this will post) In short, it looks like they arrested some Spetsnaz in Ukraine proper. |
| 2014-03-17 10:22:21 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | ANy idea what happened? Someone's flying monkey or something else? |
| 2014-03-17 09:39:20 | Glenmore | Not sure why I got my message posted twice. Sorry. |
| 2014-03-17 09:38:30 | Glenmore | Rantburg says "Unable to connect to Postgres server!" O-Club says "Unable to connect!" |
| 2014-03-17 08:45:45 | Dale | Unable to connect to Postgres server!" same here. 0900 Must have posted something sensitive yesterday (OS). |
| 2014-03-17 07:38:45 | Shipman | On a positive note I am off for the week and heading to the coast in a few days. Also: Happy St. Patrick's Day. |
| 2014-03-17 07:37:15 | Shipman | Getting the same Glenmore |
| 2014-03-17 07:32:11 | Glenmore | Rantburg says "Unable to connect to Postgres server!" O-Club says "Unable to connect!" |
| 2014-02-28 15:51:30 | Shipman | Trouble loading the O-club |
| 2014-01-16 19:33:15 | Dale | Oops! back on line now. |
| 2014-01-16 19:31:15 | Dale | Same here Shipman. O club also. |
| 2014-01-16 18:31:02 | Shipman | Having a problem loading R'b. Anything untowards happening? |
| 2013-12-28 16:26:20 | Thing From Wet Mountain | Back from driving around in the damp. Bleah. How are things up there? |
| 2013-12-28 13:16:23 | badanov | See ya |
| 2013-12-28 12:44:52 | Thing From Wet Mountain | Greetings out there. As y'all can see, it's kinda wet out there. I guess the main page is down, and I gotta go meet my mom, so I'll see y'all later. |
| 2013-12-14 13:19:42 | Alaska Paul | Triple w dot bigassfans dot com |
| 2013-12-14 13:18:49 | Alaska Paul | What you really want is the website for Big A$$ Fans. |
| 2013-12-12 17:54:43 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Actually, I have one I got at Sam's or Harbor Freight or something, and use it around the shop. |
| 2013-12-12 17:04:52 | Shipman | Big Centrifugal BLower Heh, a child of the early 60's are 'ye? |
| 2013-12-12 16:12:22 | badanov | Breathe |
| 2013-12-12 13:34:10 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Let's see, there's a switch for the Big Centrifugal BLower somewhere around here... ...and some air freshener... Hey, Ship, does this stuff smell like chloroform to you? *Klunk!* |
| 2013-12-12 09:47:22 | Shipman | Been awhile since I've been in the Bunker, kinda musty. |
| 2013-05-19 21:22:59 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Thank you. Now on to Planet Tahiti of the Open-Minded Stewardesses. |
| 2013-05-19 20:15:19 | trailing wife | Never mind -- it's back up again. :-D |
| 2013-05-19 20:14:51 | trailing wife | I can't get in through any of the back doors. :-( |
| 2013-05-19 20:10:22 | badanov | Working the problem. It's heavy paging. or swapping. I may need to do a full server restart. I will be restarting the web server periodically until then. |
| 2013-05-19 19:38:42 | trailing wife | I can't get in through any of the back doors. :-( |
| 2013-05-19 19:10:04 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Anyway, to follow up on Ship's statements, I'm looking forward to Tahiti. |
| 2013-05-19 19:02:15 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | The whole 'burg just went offline for me. Maybe it's maintenance, maybe it's malware, maybe it's the dreaded 'Yeti Filter.' |
| 2013-04-23 13:57:58 | Alaska Paul | It started again. I cannot access RB or OC as our webroot protection sees a malware threat. |
| 2013-04-18 14:02:54 | Alaska Paul | 1418 EDT. Getting the RB and OC warning display when trying to access them. Let us know what you find, MODs. Thanks. |
| 2013-04-18 10:14:53 | Pappy | Morning. Didn't try the O-Club this morning. Getting a 'This site may harm your computer' off Google search. Work Holding Always Be Hard... |
| 2013-04-18 09:47:39 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Seems to be back up... going in back, gotta mill some stuff. Work Holding Be Hard. |
| 2013-04-18 09:33:16 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | main o-club is down, just checking in here. |
| 2013-04-08 02:09:43 | Alaska Paul | Have not had to use Rantburg Junior for years now. |
| 2013-04-04 20:38:27 | Dale | Hello all. I lost this site when I had computer issues. I still wish the break room was back to larger size. I'm back !! luck you all.:) |
| 2013-04-04 20:36:12 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | I shouldn't have been trying that during updates. |
| 2013-04-04 20:36:00 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | ??? I meant "rough day today. Hopefully better tomorrow." |
| 2013-04-04 20:35:35 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Hello. Rough day tomorrow. |
| 2013-04-04 19:04:16 | SteveS | I don't want to live in a world where the function get_last_timestamp(integer) does not exist. |
| 2013-04-04 18:02:19 | Shipman | So yeah, I can't read the instructions to reload. :( |
| 2013-04-04 18:01:57 | Shipman | yeah = yo big... about ummm..... 3 inches wide by 6 inches long. Metal not wood, I've already tried cardboard, it no work. |
| 2013-04-04 17:19:59 | Shipman | yeah = yo big... about ummm..... 3 inches wide by 6 inches long. Metal not wood, I've already tried cardboard, it no work. |
| 2013-04-04 17:10:26 | Shipman | yeah = yo big... about ummm..... 3 inches wide by 6 inches long. Metal not wood, I've already tried cardboard, it no work. |
| 2013-04-04 17:08:21 | Shipman | I need a rectangle of stable metal about yeah big, with a 1/4 hole pretty much in the center. |
| 2013-04-04 16:58:00 | Pappy | Yep. Burg went down around 1000 pacific. Obama did indeed back down, tho the official line is "scaling back US operation in Korea'. RIP, Mr. Ebert. Breeding prevents me from speaking ill of the dead. T'was an article this morning saying his cancer came back. |
| 2013-04-04 16:40:07 | Days Condor | ChiCom hackers don't like discussions on NKor? |
| 2013-04-04 16:37:38 | Days Condor | howdy all. |
| 2013-04-04 16:11:08 | Deacon Blues | Burg is down and I found a great article about a Slovakian man who drank a lot of beer and peed himslef out of an avalanche |
| 2013-04-04 15:32:09 | Deacon Blues | Roger Ebert has died. He was only 70. |
| 2013-04-04 15:29:42 | Deacon Blues | Must be neutrinos. Or it blew a seal. |
| 2013-04-04 15:19:31 | Alaska Paul | Hello, Deacon and badanov. What is going on with the burg? Was is los mit dem burg? |
| 2013-04-04 14:49:15 | Visitor | Visitor is me, Deacon Blues |
| 2013-04-04 13:31:03 | badanov | Olas, mis companeros. Bienvenidos! |
| 2013-04-04 13:16:08 | Alaska Paul | Burg is down, and the O Club does not take comments. And Charlie don't surf. |
| 2012-11-29 22:27:35 | Alaska Paul | Just came in here to have a cold drink and give me brain a rest. |
| 2012-11-14 12:26:33 | Sherry | Thanks for the heads up -- that we are here.... |
| 2012-11-14 12:09:35 | trailing wife | Thank you for keeping this back-up available, badanov. |
| 2012-11-14 10:11:59 | badanov | O-Club is back... Cya |
| 2012-11-14 10:04:23 | Sherry | Thanks for the heads up -- that we are here.... |
| 2012-11-14 08:56:04 | badanov | Howdy, Mike. And if you prefer, some beers are in the fridge left over from the last time the O-club went down. |
| 2012-11-14 08:23:27 | trailing wife | Hey, Whiskey Mike! How are you on this fine qnd beautiful morning? We've a French roast in the coffee machine, water in the kettle for tea. Bagels and donuts on the sideboard, along with travel mugs for those in a rush, and Irish Breakfast tea for the tea drinkers. |
| 2012-11-14 08:02:50 | Whiskey Mike | Hello all. |
| 2012-11-14 06:41:18 | badanov | Yummy |
| 2012-11-14 01:37:46 | trailing wife | I brought a pan of brownies and chocolate chip cookies to,alternate with chewing nails when the withdrawal shakes get too bad. |
| 2012-11-13 23:33:27 | Steve White | Update: Fred is aware the Burg is down; apparently it's a hosting problem. He's trying to get through to the host, but when they're down you can't email them. |
| 2012-11-13 23:10:04 | Steve White | For anyone who gets here, yes, the Burg is still down. Likely no Burg until the morning hours. Don't know if it's a server problem, a DOS attack, or something just plain broke in the code. |
| 2012-11-13 23:07:07 | badanov | Test |
| 2012-11-13 22:43:36 | badanov | I emailed Fred at 1855 hrs. |
| 2012-11-13 22:19:39 | Steve White | Errr, that was me. |
| 2012-11-13 22:19:21 | Visitor | Was down at 7:30 CT this evening. Emailed Fred, waiting to hear. |
| 2012-11-13 22:18:16 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | I thought it was internet problems. |
| 2012-11-13 21:32:53 | badanov | Just checked in since the 'Burg is down. |
| 2012-09-18 10:31:45 | Mullah Richard | Someone left the cookies out in an open container. They're sort of stale, but edible in a pinch. |
| 2012-04-06 17:28:14 | badanov | Hi there. Stopped by for a bit. |
| 2012-03-21 01:04:08 | Alaska Paul | burg is down. Coming in here for a snack. |
| 2012-01-08 23:15:40 | Dale | 18 Ft. I saw today AP. Some other area of Alaska. Roof can't take that kinda weight. Heavy wet snow. Norway has been hit with several severe winter storms. We have had nice weather. Worked on our car with major help from my son. Brakes,oy vey I'ma feeling it. |
| 2011-12-07 21:37:47 | Alaska Paul | Got a problem with that. I have 4 ft of snow piled on it by the loader. Wait till after Christmas and New Years. |
| 2011-12-07 14:41:26 | Alaska Paul | Looks like the Burg is down at this time. Just checking in. Maybe I will start on my hydraulic log splitter project. |
| 2011-09-10 06:43:01 | b0SamueL0b | +z$8frZdyL%68pSU/:>w<:E3.lG-!XIB |
| 2011-08-28 11:34:26 | Shipman | Looks like I was wrong about the wind. |
| 2011-08-27 09:07:49 | lotp | Thought I'd bring by a box of doughnuts and some coffee. Help y'selves. |
| 2011-08-27 07:09:20 | Shipman | Haven't been here in awhile. Don't you ever change the calendars? I mean you got 13 calendars on the wall here, taking up vital paint space. Anyway, hello. If NYC sees sustained winds over 40 MPH I'll be surprised. |
| 2011-08-27 00:32:13 | Sherry | Thanks bad --- got it now bookmarked |
| 2011-08-01 21:01:55 | Dale | The shop picture has been reduced. Looks a little busy in there. |
| 2011-07-31 19:36:30 | Dale | I tried Opera and Firefox no go for OC. I see Fred and TU 3031 have posted. Everything works fine at Rantburg. I'll bet Fred you are speaking in tongues at this time. |
| 2011-07-31 17:59:43 | Dale | I tried Opera, Internet Explorer, and Firefox on the OC and at first no post twice(Firefox). Then server not found with Opera and Internet Explorer. FYI |
| 2011-07-31 15:57:04 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Stuff is kinda sorta working better now. |
| 2011-07-31 14:35:02 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Posted it to page 2. That at least works. |
| 2011-07-31 14:26:43 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Anyway, I was going to post that China's giving a squadron of J10B's to Pakistan. |
| 2011-07-31 14:26:06 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | O club @ da burg broken again. Can't post. |
| 2011-07-31 10:41:04 | Dale | We are back in business. |
| 2011-07-31 10:16:57 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | After waking at 4, through no fault of my own, I drifted back to sleep around 7. Just woke up again. |
| 2011-07-31 10:12:05 | Dale | It wasn't me. Sorry Fred, just went down again. |
| 2011-07-31 02:14:54 | Fred | I think everything is all back up now. Last few comments in the O Club come before remarks since the 26th, but other than that it looks serviceable, at least until tomorrow. |
| 2011-07-31 01:17:52 | tu3031 | Cookie is reset. Going to Poster. |
| 2011-07-31 00:44:53 | badanov | We will be battling spam manually in the o-club until this afternoon when the routines get automated. |
| 2011-07-31 00:13:34 | trailing wife | Sleep well, dear Snowy Thing. |
| 2011-07-31 00:13:21 | tu3031 | Looks like your last comment recorded was at 11:17 on 7/26. |
| 2011-07-31 00:07:46 | Sherry | Editor is giving me 7-17 and no way to change |
| 2011-07-31 00:07:38 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | I think I'm gonna go to bed for now. G'night, see y'all in the morning. |
| 2011-07-31 00:02:17 | Sherry | Just checking in --- got a couple of "Project Gunwalker" interviews --- to post that might be of interest... Issa has scheduled two more hearing before the end of the year. |
| 2011-07-30 23:57:14 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Anyway, wanted Pappy's opinion on the new frigate design floating around (that I can't really seem to link to here). |
| 2011-07-30 23:53:17 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | I am hoping I didn't miss anything while I was gone this afternoon. (Testing to see if leaving out the link lets this post). |
| 2011-07-30 23:34:52 | tu3031 | I'm sorry. You mean Saturday's. I just looked at the clock. Duh.. |
| 2011-07-30 23:31:33 | tu3031 | I think that's cuz they haven't been published yet. |
| 2011-07-30 23:27:44 | Steve White | Editor shows that we have today's articles but the counts are wrong and there are no comments. |
| 2011-07-30 23:19:02 | tu3031 | Archives is working. |
| 2011-07-30 23:18:13 | Pappy | Same here. Nothing to post anyway. |
| 2011-07-30 23:17:26 | tu3031 | I'll be here for awhile. |
| 2011-07-30 23:16:13 | badanov | I gotta be at work at 0500 tomorrow, so I won't be much help. |
| 2011-07-30 23:14:48 | badanov | No biggie. Just the way the transition is taking place. |
| 2011-07-30 23:11:59 | tu3031 | You have comments and counts from 7/26 back. Nothing from 7/27 forward. |
| 2011-07-30 23:10:02 | badanov | Not at all. |
| 2011-07-30 23:07:14 | tu3031 | You have content from Friday back, but no comments or view counts. Am I being a pain in the ass? |
| 2011-07-30 23:02:12 | trailing wife | Thank you, badanov. Hi, guys! Poster is now up, but when I tried to post an article, it got hung up. Fred is apparently transferring over to Helen, the lovely new server. The O Club is still working. |
| 2011-07-30 23:01:04 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Now I have it bookmarked on the mac. |
| 2011-07-30 23:00:51 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | AH, Here it is. I was having trouble finding the url for this place, kept looking at rkka. |
| 2011-07-30 22:53:19 | tu3031 | All the "yellow box" stuff is there, Sinktrap, Classics, etc. |
| 2011-07-30 22:32:09 | tu3031 | O club gives you the "It works!" page. |
| 2011-07-30 22:31:18 | tu3031 | Poster sends me to Roadside, which it should because I have to reset my cookie. So that's probably working. |
| 2011-07-30 22:29:13 | Steve White | Basic Burg main page is up but no articles. Poster and Editor are not up yet. |
| 2011-07-30 22:26:46 | tu3031 | That was me. |
| 2011-07-30 22:26:29 | Visitor | Looks like you're up. |
| 2011-07-30 21:13:17 | badanov | I'm currently watching Bart Got a Room |
| 2011-07-30 20:47:54 | Dale | Looks like things will be back soon. Badanov I'm glad you kept this site. |
| 2011-07-30 20:38:49 | badanov | He does have the web server set up |
| 2011-07-30 20:38:42 | tu3031 | Okay. Back later... |
| 2011-07-30 20:37:38 | tu3031 | This what I see at the page: It works! This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet. So I guess it's doing what it's supposed to be doing? |
| 2011-07-30 20:37:16 | badanov | Fred doesn't have the user accounts set up yet. |
| 2011-07-30 20:32:17 | tu3031 | Hello hello... |
| 2011-07-30 20:17:04 | Steve White | Okay, I got here. That part works. Thanks Bad. |
| 2011-07-30 20:11:25 | badanov | Hello |
| 2011-07-30 19:01:33 | Dale | oops not that long.I looked at your 7-27-2001 entry. Gad I even stutter in spelling. |
| 2011-07-30 18:58:56 | Dale | oops that that long.I looked at your 7-27-2001 entry. |
| 2011-07-30 18:57:14 | Dale | 13 hours. That is a long spell this time. |
| 2011-07-30 18:54:36 | Dale | Hey Deacon same here. Tried to post a video but didn't work. |
| 2011-07-27 16:33:23 | Deacon Blues | Where is everyone? I miss Rantburg. |
| 2011-07-27 07:15:33 | Deacon Blues | I noticed that, too. O Club as well. |
| 2011-07-24 23:27:05 | Pappy | Looketh like the Burg is down again... |
| 2011-07-05 22:48:22 | Pappy | I missed it as well. |
| 2011-07-05 22:34:09 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | I was home sick today, I'm afraid I slept through the outage. |
| 2011-07-05 22:33:09 | badanov | Just taking a break. |
| 2011-07-05 22:32:41 | badanov | Howdy |
| 2011-03-27 16:27:59 | Dale | I haven't had any problem myself but I can see others have. I am not up on some of the Tech stuff but it appears corrected. |
| 2011-03-25 10:40:56 | Alaska Paul | We have a DOS attack going on the burg right now? Can't get in, even on the alternate. |
| 2011-03-01 10:23:24 | Alaska Paul | Quiet here. Good. That means the Burg is working..... |
| 2011-02-13 19:51:11 | Dale | I'm starting to get claustrophobic. How about a game of scrabble. If we got time to kill that will do it with me playing. |
| 2011-01-08 22:31:35 | Visitor | Aloha! juh |
| 2011-01-06 13:09:26 | Deacon Blues | Snow yesterday, today, and for the next 5 days. I'll but some more wood in the stove. |
| 2010-12-01 20:59:48 | Alaska Paul | Hey, Deacon. Got the rosebud going over here. Bring the hot dawgs and we will cook some for you, bad, and me. |
| 2010-11-09 10:51:32 | Deacon Blues | Besides, Dale nobody said you did it. We're just blaming you. |
| 2010-11-08 12:39:49 | Deacon Blues | That's what they all say, Dale. |
| 2010-07-25 14:02:55 | Dale | Look - I tell ya I didn't do it. All I know is he had a tie on and drank the last beer. |
| 2010-06-16 22:58:24 | badanov | Thanks! |

| 2010-04-25 18:17:01 | Alaska Paul | ahem, EAT off the floor, figuratively speaking...... |
| 2010-04-25 18:16:15 | Alaska Paul | Badanov---this place is so clean that you can east off the floor! Thanks. |
| 2010-04-21 22:39:21 | badanov | The cleanup script runs like a bat outta hell now, too. |
