SUBSCIPTION RENEWAL FORM.
HURRAH! HURRAH!! HURRAH!!! |
| From: S. (whatever) on 14 November 2002 | 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 ([email protected]) on 14 November 2002 | 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 ([email protected]) on 14 November 2002 | | Yep, I crept in via the discussion board aswell. |
| From: John J ([email protected]) on 14 November 2002 | | If you try to get in the normal way you can get to see the statistic page. Getting more popular each month! |
| From: Seamus ([email protected]) on 15 November 2002 | 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 ([email protected]) on 15 November 2002 | | 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 15 November 2002 | RATS!!!
Just when I was gonna get nosey on the stats page. |
| From: John J (xntrick.cycles'ntlworld.com) on 15 November 2002 | | 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 ([email protected]) on 16 November 2002 | | 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 ([email protected]) on 16 November 2002 | | The redirection still isn't working - I got in through the back door... |
| From: Ben - Kinetics ([email protected]) on 16 November 2002 | | 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 ([email protected]) on 16 November 2002 | | Sorry folks - am aware of the problem and am hassling to get them fixed. |
| From: Jim (no_idea_how_i_did_it) on 18 November 2002 | 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 24 November 2002 | | 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 29 November 2002 | 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 29 November 2002 | 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: RtH (@spokesfest) on 29 November 2002 | | when it's worn out you will. |
| From: S. (S.) on 29 November 2002 | 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 29 November 2002 | '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 ([email protected]) on 02 December 2002 | 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 02 December 2002 | | What, 5 times per issue wasn't enough already? |
| From: Seamus (s.etc) on 02 December 2002 | | You're only jealous 'cos there wasn't a piccie of you. |
| From: Peter Eland ([email protected]) on 02 December 2002 | 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!

| From: Seamus ([email protected]) on 02 December 2002 | | No piccie of me? Bit of a risk you're taking there what with SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL time coming up. |
