Sorry 'bout the downtime for about the last 18 hours  :roll:

Hosting company was screwed - they'd better not do that again  :twisted:

Just got a very apologetic phone call from the States - apparantly the air conditioning units failed in one of the server rooms causing the outage.

Hmmmm.....very slowly. I'm really time limited and rely on doing some of the ukb stuff at work when I get time.

Been a bit busy. Also, the main task at the moment is getting the new format database up and running which is a really laborious task which can't really be automated. At the moment I'm adding all problems referenced on the site to the problems database, as opposed to just "new problems".
After that, I can carry on with the development, but the database will still need loads more adding after that.

Once the DB reaches a certain stage, things will get much easier and it's just coding after that, and I've got a lot of good ideas for the site. It'd probably help to have somebody else programming too but it's finding someone who wants to do things my way and who I can trust with the site.
