It's not loading for me. All I'm getting is a blank page. Have I been banned? :D

i was waiting to see if anyone would comment here
:)

Unfortunately, it is down and we don't know why. We are pretty sure it is an issue with WordPress, our CMS, however.

WORST of ALL, our web master is on vacation .. skiing, i understand ..
:blush:

The good news is that i can still work. My timing is OK considering; Serious Sam BFE is nearly done D/L'ing and i have to research it to find the best place for a benchmark run.
:)



Seriously

:yahoo:

i'll make the best of it .. somehow ..
:grin:

i'll also put up the performance charts for the latest GeForce drivers

I'm not a wordpress expert so this will take some time.

I made the re-direct to the forum software in the meantime.

It looks like Dave is making some progress.

http://alienbabeltech.com/main/

It might have been my fault. Looking back, my browser crashed during an upload or a save. When i got back to it a couple of hours later, the site was down. The theme may have been corrupted
:blush:

Dave removed all of the plugins and is trying to rebuild the theme. Not bad for his not being a WordPress expert and especially since Amit our web master has taken care of us for over 3 years without really showing us anything,
:)

It could have been worse. I worked in an office where a guy deleted an entire Holiday Inn off of the server. We lost a week's worth of work done by an office staff of 10.

I actually kinda like the new theme. :)

This is just the stock wordpress theme with the image box plugin now displaying the stock photos. Dave is going to have to rebuild our theme or everything is going to be jumbled like it is now.

i didn't even relate the browser crash to the site's issues until today. We do make regular backups and whatever articles that are between backups have HTML copies that only need the images uploaded again. So the time lost is Dave's work restoring the site (hopefully) and mine in attempting to catch up.

i did make two benches - i am replacing Left 4 Dead with L4D 2 and Serious Sam Second Encounter with Serious Sam BFE. Sadly, there will be no BF3 benches as my ISP is completely screwed with Origin games. i am not even sure that Crysis 2 will work anymore - i can't wait for the upgraded ViaSat satellite service.
