Bad Month for MSRDL Web Site...

Pardon all the web site problems at the MSRDL web site (www.fireline.org/scanlaws). Seems server-wise, we just haven't been having a good time of it.

Last week, our local server suffered from a lightning strike. It was trashed. We had to put up a backup server. We had to basically start from scratch, putting everything back up from backup, getting all the permissions for all the directories set right, etc. Just when we were back up and running...

...Then something happened at the CORPORATE level at Fireline. Suddenly their servers got hit with something...some worms which knocked out a number of their servers and as a result a whole lot of customers suddenly found that their web sites had completely disappeared...including ours.

We're still trying to get everything back up again from backups. Then we have to set all the dir permissions and other stuff.

"Act-Of-God"-wise, this really has been a pain-in-the-ass few weeks. :(

Fear not, though. We can't be made to disappear that easily. We get knocked off the horse, we just get right back up again and continue riding onwards. To quote the famous Commander Peter Quincy Taggert, "NEVER give up! NEVER surrender! Right?

(long pause, while waiting to see just how many people actually GET that) :)

MSRDL Web Site Has Moved

The MSRDL web site has been moved to a new location:

www.fireline.org/scanlaws

We'll be placing a redirect page up at the old location (www.afn.org/~afn09444/scanlaws) soon.

Unfortunately, Alachua FreeNet, our long-time ISP, had a major crash about a year ago and since then things have been kinda unpredictable. They've made a switch to a new server and email operations are again working and web pages are again VIEWABLE but... Unfortunately, FTP has apparently been a bugger for the all-volunteer admin working on AFN. As a result, we haven't been able to get into the MSRDL web site for about a year now, and haven't been able to make corrections and updates in that time.

Yesterday we moved the MSRDL web site over to a new location and we also got to work on some formatting problems which became introduced, we noticed, with MSIE 11. We think we've addressed most of the problems but if anyone notices anything funky anywhere please do let us know and we'll try to get to work on them ASAP.

Meanwhile, we'd like to thank everyone for nearly TWENTY YEARS of service to this country and to the world. And we're of course very proud.

MSRDL web site temporarily down after server crash...

The Mobile Scanner & RADAR-Detector Laws web site is temporarily down while technicians work on getting the Alachua FreeNet server back up and operating after a server crash. I'm being told that this might take a couple of days. It's an old system and they eventually plan on moving everything over to a shiny new system but for now things are currently being transferred over to a temporary substitute area while the new server system is being prepared.

The MSRDL site has not gone the way of the wind. It should be back up and operating fairly soon, here.

We thank you for your patience and apologize for any inconveniences.
