What's happened to the PavingExpert site ???

[MikeH]

Does anyone know what's happened to

?

The site hasn't been around for a while - I was getting an 'address not found' error message. Initially I assumed it might be caused by a DNS glitch, but it's been like that for several days, maybe longer. Today I've just noticed that

takes you to a UK2.net page saying that the domain name has been registered by a UK2.net customer.

Hopefully this is just a sign that A. J McCormack & Son are in the process of moving the site to a new hosting service provided by UK2 - I'd hate to think that the site has gone forever. :-(

Does anyone who may be local to the company know what's actually happening?

[Ian Chard]

The domain is still registered to a Mr McCormack of Warrington, so hopefully you're right.

I blush with shame then ;-) $ uname -a Darwin Hurricane.local 8.11.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.0: Wed Oct 10

However a quick relocate to the server

$ uname -a Linux tempest 2.6.18-6-486 #1 Mon Aug 18 08:05:56 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

restores some pride.. ;-)

^^^^^^^^^

You should patch yer machine then ;-P

Naah. CBA. Things will break.

I was going to say much the same..but people would probably say 'not real UNIX' (if it were Linux, that'd be more true..)...

KOS UKC 1971 - as well! I even wrote some subsystems for it..

Hi I well remember the TTY and card machines - I wrote my first real prog in Oct 1971 - Fortran 66(?) - Least Squares or something ..

When did the Cornwallis fall down the hole ?

It used to be the norm, to go through, after the paper aeroplane spate had finished , 'the tunnel'

Least Squares was my first assembler program on the same machine! That would be about April 1971...

Middle of 1974.

Yup, done that.

Darwin 70-73, 74-78. and Computing Laboratory ever since (I still work there!). They've even named a room in Darwin after me!

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember MikeH saying something like:

If it's gone titsup.com, have a look the archive machine...

In fact, here y' go

There's also a 486 DX2/66MHz with SunOS 5.7 (Solaris 7) on it, and an Ultra 10 with Solaris 8 on it, but these are powered off at the moment. I use them to build software which I want to run on all supported Solaris releases. (Solaris's binary compatibility guarantee means binaries built on old releases are guaranteed to run unchanged on newer releases, so you don't need one per release.)
