Anyone else having trouble with the site?

[HydeBurns]

For about a week straight, whenever I type www.Eskimofriends.com into my browser, it comes up saying "Page forbidden." Now it's just coming up blank even though it says done. Luckily, I've got the forum bookmarked, so I havn't been locked out. And when I go to the forum.....it'll easily let me go to the front page. Just not if I type the site URL into my browser. Maybe my browser is just mucked up. Has anyone else had this problem lately?

Yeah happens to me to, i just get on at


www.our-adams-family.co.uk/emmett//forum


this seems to work for me.

Emmett is currently trying to move the site so that it doesn't crash as often. There are a few teething troubles, so the redirection when you type in EskimoFriends is acting up... just use the direct links for the time being and all will be restored to better than ever in no time.

i get on grand but some times it just freezes up and i have to close down explorer and start again


it might just be my bb

[mestonf]

yeah thats happened to me on a few occasions

[Wheels]

No, that's the problem that Emmett is trying to solve... I think it's something to do with domain masking... but don't ask me what that means [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

It'll all be perfect soon.

[pohdeeoh]

yes about 50 times!

Awesome. That about sums up my question. I knew Emmett was moving the site. I didn't even think about that being te problem. Thanks!

*Ahem* The Domain Name System or
DNS is a system that stores information about host names and domain
names on networks, such as the Internet. Most importantly, it provides
an IP address (which is a machine readable address, in binary form i.e.
1's and 0's) for each host name (i.e. eskimofriends), and lists the
mail exchange servers accepting e-mail for each domain.</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">
<br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">
The DNS forms a vital part of the
Internet, because hardware requires IP addresses to perform routing,
but humans use host names and domain names, for example in URLs and
e-mail addresses.</span>[img]smileys/smiley23.gif[/img]



Edit: Also, A mask, also known as a subnet mask, netmask or address mask, is a 32-bit bitmask used to inform routers ( routers </span>forward a data packet toward its destination</span>
) as to how much of an IP address identifies the subnetwork the host is
on and how much identifies the host. This is used to make loads of
adddress or subnets to apprear to the outside world as one.



So the problem lies somewhere in all that!

Why don't they just teach the hardware to talk like us... it'd be so much easier... imagine chatting to your toaster... you could tell it exactly how toasted you want your bread... and IT could tell YOU to chill out and just enjoy whatever it happens to throw at you... the fun of it all [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

[cille]

[img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]fun idea, but it'd give me techno-fear for sure


welcome, ayla!

[daol20]

Sounds like something Bill Gates would have in his gaff!</span>

[daol20]

I was never a techie before college, but they've brainwashed me. Now im thinking of all the possibliites of Wheels' ideas!!!!!![img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]</span>

[cille]

don't take it too far or else one day the toasters will take over the planet[img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img]

[daol20]

*looks up from his toaster designs*</span> OH yeah never thought of that!





back to the drawing board!..... Fighting toasters. With RPG's on them!!![img]smileys/smiley15.gif[/img]

There's a company in Brussels... who are working on turning all the moons of Jupiter into giant computer brains to run the world... the guy in charge of it believes they will eventually decide to wipe us humans out... seems like an odd thing to aim for... [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

[daol20]

[img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]



Where in the world did you find that out??</span>

[Wheels]

Sunday Times magazine a few years ago... the place is called Star Lab I think...

[GlttrGrrl]

It's fixed! Yay! eskimofriends.com is back!

[mestonf]

They must work on talking appliances somewhere. They already have a proto fridge that knows what food items were removed from your fridge. My fax machine talks to me. My car can talk to my coffee machine (OK, if I would have dished out the extra $3,000 for that option.)


A talking toaster ought to be trivial.[img]smileys/smiley23.gif[/img]I want one that can change color to match the decor and mood and that I can send MP3's to to play music in the kitchen [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]


(*thread drift alert* [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img])

[Wheels]

I want one that makes toast... [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

[Miss Pink]

wow!! A toster that makes toast!!! Wheels get to the drawing board i think ur on to sth big......

[Wheels]

I saw one great idea on TV... the toaster has a carbon sensor on the top... it can tell if your toast is done by the amount of carbonisation of the bread... the more burned the more carbonised... So you set the carbonisation level you want... not the time or heat or whatever they use now... and your toast never burns! Unless you want it to... [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

[daol20]

Who stole my designs!!



I had that im my plans, but also, an automatic retinal scan as soon as
you entered the room, so it could say hello, and tell you the morning
news that your interested in while toasting your toast to the specific
way you like it. Also, i though a high speed wi-fi modem on that baby
aswell, so you could connect to other toasters via the net from
anywhere in the house, not just the kitchen, so you could send your
toasting request over the internet.

Add more power, Auh Auh Auh (Tim the Toolman Taylor momment!!!)



Plus be able to fire Rocket Propelled Grenades aswell. Ya gotta have the RPG's!





*Ok, the pills are wearing off!! i gotta go............*

</span>

[Miss Pink]

why cant u just keep an eye on ur toast or put it to the right number setting?[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

[daol20]

Cos who wantes to do that???????[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

Thats the dumbest most impractical thing i've ever heard!![img]smileys/smiley7.gif[/img]
