Talk about false alarms. Installed 10.2.8 yesterday arvo.
Go home, logon to BigPond. Email won't work. Nothing on BigPond service status page about problem. Called two mates with BigPond accounts (Bunbury and Brisbane) and asked if their email works. Email works fine ... no problems here they both said. Grrrrrr. What have I changed recently? <LIGHT BULB GOES ON ABOVE HEAD> Must be 10.2.8! Look at watch. 8pm. Think about reinstall of 10.2.6. Start getting depressed thinking about 2 or so hours it will take. Decide to get pizza and beer and think about reinstall a bit more ... postponing the inevitable (you know how it is). Consume pizza and beer. Try BigPond once more. Voila! Email works but is slow ... gets better after 15 minutes ... back to normal by 9.15pm. Check out service staus page again ... NOW there is a message that email problems have been experienced by some users. Technicians are investigating. THANK GOD FOR BEER AND PIZZA!!! ;-) R.K. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Secker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 24 September 2003 1:17 PM To: WAMUG Mailing List Subject: Re: 10.2.8 and SWEN trojan [SNIP] all false alarms so far ... grrrrr.... not amazing coincidence - except that how so many dumb things can happen at the same time.. actually my spelling mistake of "amassing coincidence" was quite apt.
