I thought it was something like that but I bet it was more like the punch card reader went bad :munch:

Well they do have a backup but since it's a forum where people use film they decided to back things up on microfiche. And the delay on getting the site back up is because the light bulb on the microfiche reader went out and they had to order a new one.
I broke out the 8x10 to take a photo of one of my boys and his homecoming princess standing next to the '54 Buick they rode in during the homecoming parade. Unfortunately the Porsche one of my other boys (and princess) was riding in took off right after the parade so I did not get that photo. I did get a quick shot of them in front of the Buick with my Rolleiflex. I have some photos taken with the digital, but won't share them here, of course.
Tomorrow will be busy -- I'll be helping a bunch of 4-H kids to shoot a roll of film each (35mm) in the morning -- we'll make contact sheets and a print each in a couple weeks. Then on Sunday I'll be using the 8x10 and 11x14 all day in the redwoods. That should keep me busy until the LFF is up Sunday evening!
PS -- my only computer programming class I took at college used IBM punch card machines!

Hehe nice! (On all counts)
Side note, I JUST learned about 4-H while visiting the New England fair "The Big E" a few weekends ago. Being in the Fairfield County area there's not much of that kind of stuff, but apparently it's big "upstate" CT and the surrounding areas. Seems quaint to me, like the farmers version of the Boy Scoutsgood stuff!

You too?!!!
I'll bet that if I look in the right place I could still find one of my card decks!
My host usually backup my websites everyday for this kind of situation so if ever the main server has problem ie: diskdrive failure etc.) they can put the backup on a new one and the site will be running again.. i hope they could fix it soon.
Any good web hosting would use a redundant system not just a once a day backup.
With as long as LFF has been down it has to be more then a single drive failure.
Bear in mind that "tiny" in that case means smaller than 4x5, or maybe smaller than 6x9 sheet film.
Perhaps ironically it's my favorite thread there. Some really excellent work is posted from cell phone shots up to superb 6x7 and 6x9.
Due to a hard disk failure, we had a long-ish site outage. It should be all fixed now.
Data was restored from a backup taken about 1am Oct-9 PDT. Looks like the site went down about 3am Oct 9 PDT. Hopefully not much is missing, but if you posted anything after 1am PDT OCT 9, check to see if you need to re-post something.
Please post in this thread any missing data or other problems found.
FYI, it might take up to a day for all DNS servers to update with the correct site IP address (we pointed it to an alternate site to post the outage notifications). The effect to you is you might be unable to connect with all devices including users of Tapatalk.
