We were down for a little while this morning (Friday) as we installed new firewall software. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Take care,
Erik

I was beginning to think it was something I said. My MS Explorer error message told me that my IP address was forbidden (blocked) to enter this site.

Likewise...

Then I thought that the firewall people at the office may have noticed that I was hanging around this site too long. I am glad that my job is still safe.

Later...

Being the impatient kind, and more impatient as I get older, I sent an email to my ISP to check into it. Four hours later I get the automatic response that says "Thanks for being our customer and sending us lots of money, we'll look into it". By the time they do I think it'll be next year.

Yep, I had that bit of paranoia thinking I had said something wrong. Silly me.

Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

It wasn't anything any of you did. They've been working on our firewalls and problems came up. I think they have it all fixed now.

Don't worry, before you get black listed you're usually given ample warning. I won't do it out of the blue.

It's funny how many people thought that's what happened. A lot of guilty consciences out there. [:D]

Have a great weekend everyone!

[:(]Is it me, or is anybody else not able to access the Kanas City Central trackplan on Trains.com's MR how-to articles "Easy track plans to model"? I get the other three, but my cpu locks up when I click on the KCC one. I've e-mailed the general mail@ kalmbach twice, should I send e-mail to somewhere/someone else when I have problems like this that seem to with the MR site? Maybe I just need some more TRAINing![:)] Frank Still waiting for a reply to this problem.

I was worried that someone had figured out my password or something, posted naughty stuff, and managed to get me banned. Overnight.

No guilty conscience HERE.

Nope.
Not at all.
Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it... you can't prove anything.

;)
