The server on which the "Coffee Shop" is hosted may be unavailable for a period from lunchtime today.  I hope that any interruption to service will be a short one.

Update / news - please bookmark
http://www.wellho.net/share/coffeeshop.html
which is on a different domain / server (hosted in a different country, in fact) so will be available throughout.

Issue resolved without any interruption of service.

It's still a good idea for regulars to bookmark the status page just in case of main server issues.

Due to infrastructure issues, our server was offline for a couple of hours early this afternoon.   Sorry about the break in service - happy to be back  Wink

Running for me ... and from the link:

Quote
17:00 Brighton to Bristol Temple Meads due 20:29

This train will be started from Barnham.It will no longer call at: Brighton, Hove, Shoreham-By-Sea and Worthing.This is due to train crew having been unavailable earlier. Last Updated: 26/09/2011 15:53

Is it just me, or has this particular train been a frequent victim at its Eastern end of late?

And again ...

Quote

17:00 Brighton to Bristol Temple Meads due 20:29

This train will be started from Barnham.It will no longer call at: Brighton, Hove, Shoreham-By-Sea and Worthing.This is due to an earlier trespass incident. Last Updated: 29/09/2011 15:42

Looking back at the old diagrams from the top of these pages, it appears that the 17:00 has failed to leave Brighton on 1st, 3rd, 5th, 15th, 24th and 30th August, and on 2nd, 16th, 26th and 29th September.  On one extra date (12th August) , it did leave Brighton but didn't get beyond Salisbury.  Is all this lot just co-incidence, or is this train "top of the chops"?  I note the the 17:00 from Brighton is followed by another train at 17:03 that follows it as far as Havant.

You aren't alone in thinking this Graham.  A couple of years ago, I made the same observation with the Brighton services - ending/starting short at either end.  It happened for a little while but then didn't occur so often.

I'm not sure what the consequences would be if a Brighton service were to run late and/or get stuck somewhere outside FGW (First Great Western)/SWT (South West Trains) territory?

A big taxi bill getting crew to/from the unit for starters!

One of our servers will be upgraded overnight sometime within the next week, and you may notice the disruption map, qr codes, many images and a few other features not being available.

Is this still going on?  It seems on odd occasions over the last few days I've not had an email about a new reply to a topic despite the "notify" option being on. It's not consistent. Sometimes I do sometimes I don't. Can't see a pattern to it.

Nope - it was out for a few minutes on the night after the message, and that was all.  We had a database problem that I caught within a few minutes the other evening, caused by our MySQL tables filling the server's disc;  I've deleted some old error logs and got some disc space back, but with over 100,000 posts the site's rather bigger than was planned when it was started.   The other thing is that night owls may have issues at 10 to 20 past 3 in the mornings, and there are additional backups every couple of hours during the day too when it may be slower to a minute or so.

Server outage for approx 100 minutes during the night - sorry about that to any night owls. An automated procedure that should not be visitor-visible left the system offline as far as I can see so far.  The status page at http://www.wellho.net/share/status.html (on a different server to the coffee shop!) is used to log problems ... feel free to bookmark it.

It demonstrated a weakness in the new IOS 6 software on iPhones/iPads.  When trying to look at the site during the outage it said you couldn't because the device was not connected to the internet!

I was one of the night-owls, doing some historical browsing of forum threads. Slightly non-plussed when I starting getting 'unable to connect' returns. I always think initially that the problem is my end.

Glad to hear it was nothing major.

I was also a night owl. Woke at around 0430 couldnt get back to sleep so was going to browse some old threads that may be interesting from before my time began on here.
Absolutely typical waking that early on my day off,, yet when I need to wake at around 6am I really struggle getting up!
