1-day Website is Down!

Just received this email from 1-day regarding an outage of their website!


Oh Dear!!


You’ve probably figured out by now that something’s not quite right with the 1-day website today!

Our technicians are furiously scratching their heads, running around with clipboards and plugging and unplugging all sorts of cables to try and kick the dear old thing into life again so that you can have your daily fix.

Please hang on in there while we get this sorted and we’ll send you today’s 3 bargains as soon as we can.

Thanks for your understanding,

The strung out team at 1-day

The New/Old Project

Tonight i had a burst of inspiration and started work on a new project which is actually an old project i've been trying to do for years.
And here it now begins again......

The settlers arrived and built a house,


Then a Church,



And so the town starts to take shape,



More to come....

Don't use Telecom Broadband for anything 'important'

Broadband - Terms & Conditions - Telecom Business Hub
http://www.telecombusinesshub.co.nz...uctTerms.aspx

"Telecom is unable to provide specific performance guarantees, however we are committed to providing a consistent and reliable service.

While we always strive to provide a consistent service, there are a number of factors that influence reliability. For this reason, we do not guarantee connection speed bandwidth, latency (delay) or bit rate through our broadband network at any one point in time.


As the Telecom Business Broadband service can occasionally go down, we do not recommend it for 'important' purposes. We cannot guarantee how quickly we can resolve problems with the network.


Telecom Business Broadband is not designed to support guaranteed service levels and may not be appropriate for applications which reply guaranteed speed and latency characteristics."
