  • and don't forget the special free gift inside Issue 8.....

    SUBSCIPTION RENEWAL FORM.

    HURRAH! HURRAH!! HURRAH!!!


  • From: S. (whatever) on 2 August 2006
  • Well that's interesting!

    Can't access this page through the usual address but can by going 'around the back' via the discussion list.

    Anyone else?


  • From: Peter Eland (peter@velovision.co.uk) on 2 August 2006
  • We seem to be having a problem with the forwarding service. You should be able to get into the site via

    http://www.eland.uklinux.net

    no problem until it's fixed - not that it's much good posting that info here of course!


  • From: John J (xntrick.cycles@ntlworld.com) on 2 August 2006
  • Yep, I crept in via the discussion board aswell.


  • From: John J (xntrick.cycles@ntlworld.com) on 2 August 2006
  • If you try to get in the normal way you can get to see the statistic page. Getting more popular each month!


  • From: Seamus (seamustuff@yahoo.co.uk) on 2 August 2006
  • Well that's interesting; September Velovision got the most hits but October slackened off.

    BKN got more hits in October than for any other month, yet.

    Coincidence?

    Me and John, just a couple of sad gits that'll visit this page even when no-one else can.


  • From: Peter Eland (peter@velovision.co.uk) on 2 August 2006
  • We're back on air - apologies for the outage. It was due to major crash of a RAID array (basically, disk storage) at 2020media, who handle forwarding of traffic from www.velovision.co.uk to our other hosting site, www.eland.uklinux.net. Now fixed.


  • From: S. (whatever) on 2 August 2006
  • RATS!!!

    Just when I was gonna get nosey on the stats page.


  • From: John J (xntrick.cycles'ntlworld.com) on 2 August 2006
  • Oh dear, Even more troubles wtih Velovision online tonight. Even the stats page (http://www.velovision.co.uk/logs) won't load. The 'back door' is still open though.


  • From: John J (Sad.man@work.com) on 2 August 2006
  • Ah good. It's working properly this morning. The stats page is interesting. How come you've got so many hits from highqualitywallpapers.com this month Pete?


  • From: Ben - Kinetics (ben@kinetics-online.co.uk) on 2 August 2006
  • The redirection still isn't working - I got in through the back door...


  • From: Ben - Kinetics (ben@kinetics-online.co.uk) on 2 August 2006
  • PS you have my full sympathy - my hosting company managed to do the same thing to us for two weeks over last Christmas!


  • From: Peter Eland (peter@velovision.co.uk) on 2 August 2006
  • Sorry folks - am aware of the problem and am hassling to get them fixed.


  • From: Jim (no_idea_how_i_did_it) on 2 August 2006
  • Hey it's working now (or I wouldn't have got here)
    Looking good, can't wait.


  • From: Lord Elpus (yes, I have one) on 2 August 2006
  • To enhance my enjoyment of issue 8 Blenkinsop - my faithful old retainer - will be turning it into a West End musical featuring Claire Sweeney. Whoever she is.


  • From: Seamus (S.) on 2 August 2006
  • Just checking to see if this still works.
    I've been sleeping on the floor since my new bicycle arrived, thank god for Thermarest, 'cos the bike gets the bed until Spring or maybe Summer.


  • From: RtH (@spokesfest) on 2 August 2006
  • Seamus, we now offer a new service where we 'wear the newness' of new bikes. Saves the agony of scratching it for the first time.

    When should I pop round to pick it up?


  • From: Seamus (seamustuff@yahoo.co.uk) on 2 August 2006
  • ...and was never seen again.


  • From: RtH (@spokesfest) on 2 August 2006
  • when it's worn out you will.


  • From: S. (S.) on 2 August 2006
  • or maybe it'd be some dodgy home built 'thing' with you and Simon swearing blind that it was indeed the same bike I'd left with you.

    If you're really lucky I just might let you have a look at the new Bike at Spokesfest next year, no touching mind.


  • From: RtH (@spokesfest) on 2 August 2006
  • 'or maybe it'd be some dodgy home built 'thing' with you and Simon swearing blind that it was indeed the same bike I'd left with you.'

    You know us too well :-)

    You're coming to Spokesfest then - after last years embarressment?

    See the Spokesfest report on this very site for pictures.


  • From: Seamus (seamustuff@yahoo.co.uk) on 2 August 2006
  • Embarrassing? No.
    I meant to fall in 'cos I realised it was a sure fire way to get my piccie into Velovision.
    If Pete hadn't been there I'd never have got wet.


  • From: RtH (@spokesfest) on 2 August 2006
  • What, 5 times per issue wasn't enough already?


  • From: Seamus (s.etc) on 2 August 2006
  • You're only jealous 'cos there wasn't a piccie of you.


  • From: Peter Eland (peter@velovision.co.uk) on 2 August 2006
  • There's a pic of Roger coming up in Issue 8, not even a particularly embarrassing one. Don't recall any Seamus sightings this time.

    Cheers!

    pete

  • No piccie of me? Bit of a risk you're taking there what with SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL time coming up.
