Hi Otto,

Don't worry. I've had it with this provider
kvcd.net is being transfered to another provider as we speak.
I'm currently uploading the full site to the new provider, and I'll be closing the forum later so I can backup the database.
I don't have a time schedule yet, but I don't think it will be tonight.
But tomorrow, for sure I'll lock the forum so I can backup the database, and upload it to the new provider.
Stay tuned at www.kvcd.net for the latest news, if you see that the forum crashes again.
It's been 3 days in hell, since we moved to this provider

thanks Kwag!
the forum is back and faster to open the pages.
...only one detail: after i read a new post (new posts icon in golden color) it still golden and don't change the color...then, i need to log out and login again to wait the news (clicking F5 each minute)!

hey,the "worrycame" still too big!

Yes, it's a rocket Yes, that happens because the domain name KVCD.Net is still not set as the host name for the machine. It's a "cookies" issue.
I still have a hard link to 209.63.57.146
Hopefully, late tonight I can make the final change, and then when you read a post, it will change color

BTW, the server where KVCD.Net is now hosted, is a FOUR P4 processor machine
So it Kicks A**


-kwag

4 P4?
yeah...it's a rocket ! :P

Anybody wanna come to the caribbean this season

Here we go again

Hi Karl,
Damn , good luck with this one, too.
Seems like it's headed straight to Jamaica right?
Hopefully, just a little rain again
Cheers

Frances caused between 5 to 16 billion dollars to Florida now, mostly flooding.
5 million people have lost their homes and flooding has destroyed
buildings like hospitals, schools, business, etc. and 10 people died.
With Ivan coming so soon behind Frances, the destruction will cause more
lives.

-BP

Those are indeed very sad figures you gave us BP
But the saddest thing was the lost of 10 lives.
Hopefully this won't happen with Ivan.
Good luck and get shelter.
Cheers

Kwag,

did Ivan miss you on the low side? Looks like this will be a bad one for anything that gets in its path,

Hi rhino,

Ivan passed WAY south of us. About ~500 miles, so we didn't feel anything.
That monster looks like it's headed towards Jamaica, and then who knows where

-kwag

Our neighbour is from Jamaica and so most of her family is still there. Worrying times for her,

Kwag,

i don't know the power of that stormy cos i never saw it, here it never happen.....more summer than winter like paradice !

cool option to forced vacation:
take your wife and kids, close the doors and "windows" and came to my house in Brasil until it all pass !

.....and don't forget the beers!

Thanks rhino

This season is really wild
By tomorrow, we'll know for sure if it will go right over us.
But looking at the projected track, it seems it will.
Even if it's a tropical storm with winds at ~40Mph, it will still bring a lot of rain, and that's not very good.
If wind forecasts by tomorrow are in the range of 50+ miles per hour, then I'll have to climb on the roof and take down my satellite dishes

-kwag

Hey thanks Jorge
That would be very cool
Hopefully we will make it one day

-kwag

Well, seems we're about to get hit in the next 8 hours or so, and that means no power once the wind blows away power lines (hopefully not!), and of course, no internet connection either


See'ya later

Hello Karl:

Wish you lots of luck, take care of yourself and let us know how you fare the storm......

Otto

Thanks Otto

Everything is too quiet here
The damn storm slowed down to 8MPH, and that's BAD
That's bad because it could increase to hurricane strength by tomorrow, and that makes things worse.
Already it's bad enough as it is, because the forecast is that it will be about 12 hours of tropical storm winds ( at least ~50+ MPH ) over us, and that means MANY inches of rain, on top of the nasty winds.
We are supposed to start feeling the effects in the early morning hours.

-kwag

Hey Otto, maybe you'd like to come down here now, so you can do some surfing (real surfing, not web surfing )

Take a look at the tide info (in bold)
