Did anyone else have a problem with the site this morning? It took me nearly 15 minutes to get to this page.

Thanks for the heads-up folks, we're aware of the the problem. We shut it down this morning for a while to investigate.

Something has been going on for 9 days, but I doubt it's in our server sector.

As some are aware, there has been a lot of spam activity around among other nasties, so were on our toes. wink.gif

Didn't get to TS until about 10:30AM local today and things seem fine.

If it's not the servers, then it must be something localized near them. I've not had any trouble surfing anywhere else all day nor last night. Perhaps the sea level is already rising in Jacksonville ( or where ever ASO is housed )? Thinking.gif

The site seemed to be down again this morning. That's two days in a row, right at one of the times I can use to visit.

When looking for a server a secure pipe was first on my list. I wanted it outside of Florida, Mac related with state of the art equipment and software. ASO fit the bill! wink.gif

I think if any public place is secure being close to the CDC would be on top of that list.
There are others locations that I considered but they were inclined to interfere. I had a server in Manitou co. near Cheyenne mt. for a while and it was never right. A friend has one near Camp David that's always on the fritz. North of Virginia is too busy and susceptible to Ice as is any place north of the 32 parallel.

Head west you have tornados, left coast rolling blackouts an Enron. Atlanta, with it’s Moss and Magnolias seemed like a place a server would enjoy. wink.gif

I assume you are pulling our virtual legs about relating 'security' to the physical and/or geographical location of servers? dntknw.gif

Nope, location, location, loo..caa..tion. The location is close to a major trunk line; often underground or affixed on (wind rated) concrete poles high above the trees. When the lines go down the first priority is repairing the lines on the Emergency Artery, Commercial, Secondary and Residential locations follow.
The Atlanta location also offers extra capacity, something you wouldn’t find in a remote location. hi.gif

So, Apple Remote Access doesn't do you any good, eh? wink.gif

OK, it ain't ASO. And it ain't Atlanta. So why doesn't the problem show up at other sites? dntknw.gif I'm really not doubting your theories, nor the capabilities of ASO or even the infrastructure around Hotlanta, but something is wrong somewhere in 'Denmark'! clown.gif  assure.gif  tomato.gif And I don't think anyone actually knows for sure. 'Moon phase' works for me! smile.gif
