GPG Back Online

[Banana]

After a few years living the expat lifestyle the GPG is coming home to live in a upgraded property.

GPG Towers have scheduled this to happen this Sunday (26th July). Preparations are being put in place to minimise our dust and noise. Downtime will last for about 4 hours.

The Rwandan Goats will be manning the GPG Hotline to keep you updated throughout Sunday.

Are they Hutu or Tutsi ? This is very important...

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Tell it to the goats.

I will be giving it to them straight, well with a slight curve to the right.

Will the tours be suspended during the period of the move to avoid upsetting the goats?

I do hope that, after the years of child-labour off-shoring, the costs of repatriation are being minimised by using illegals to power the turbines.

If your girlfriends are going to man the GPG hotline while the GPG moves - Who will be helping you to move ?

"Having a day in on Sunday" and you intend to spend it on the GPG. Do you know what that makes you sound like?

Who funds the GPG?

Couldn't we get some google ads after every 10 posts or something?

The forum currently runs and deals with massive post loads - generally - with no adverts. Why would you want adverts?

Hopefully it will be faster during busy times. Other than that no - not for the moment anyway.

I always thought that CBU's back-door selling of the list to his Nigerian friends funds both the GPG and his extravagant life-style.

Pennies for Bees United

There are adverts all over the web and they don't bother me. Each click could earn the club about 50p. We could all do our bit.

They bother me. And if we did have them they would be contributing to the running costs of the GPG!

Perhaps we should set up comparethegoat.com? (Simples!)

Decided to start after the Grand Prix, so about 3pm

[Banana]

All the Project managers fault

So what has actually been done?

The GPG server has moved about 4,672 miles. But it was so seamless that you didn't notice

Seamless then

 

[TW3Bee]

It's good to be back.

Were there special parades in each city visited?

We didn't want anyone to notice so we passed unnoticed in a president-like motorcade with blacked-out windows, motorcycle outriders, helicopters overhead...the works.

 

[Banana]

We would have stopped in Sandhurst for a surprise visit if we'd known it was your birthday though!

Good plan - don't want my 20,000 posts put under any threat. :yes:

 

[Banana]

So what has actually been done?

For the curious. We've moved to a new hosting provider who are a specialist at hosting the software that the GPG uses. This new server has 2 more CPUs (making 4 in total) to cope with the ever-growing load on the GPG server, and has more memory too (3Gb).

We last moved hosting providers in 2002 shortly after the current dictatorship assumed control of GPG Towers in an overnight coup. This is, to my best recollection, our 4th new server since then.

It is faster all ready. I am very pleased with it. It was sooooo slow beforehand. Well done 'nana.........

 

[GP200]

..............far superior...................well done to all...............love the new options................

 

[coconino]

Lies! That motorcade was a diversion from the TRUTH that the actual move was done with the same jaunt technology used by the Tomorrow People. Is there any other credible explanation for why the staff are all wearing flares? No cover-up! Tell us the truth! 4,672 miles by car? Do you think we were born yesterday?

 

[TW3Bee]

Yes it is a lot quicker.

Well done to all concerned.

 

[brentfordbeehive]

it's so much quicker if your using it from your mobile, good job guys.
