    It would appear that the Stew overheated today. Some of the ingredients are not in the pot. :-( Wait a minute I will check again........ yep.....the garden gate is locked :( and someone took all the plants :eek: and there are no photos :eek: :eek: EEEK!! I did walk down the hall and Frank is super busy in the server room pounding on the server with a sledgehammer. I hope that works.

    I thought it was just me! I'm sure Frank will have it all sorted out soon.

    Me, too. I asked my guru son and he said someone messed up the server. Now all seems to be back together.

    I checked again and Frank is still super busy. The book of notifications spilt and were all over the floor.....what a mess. Anyway he is putting them back in the book.
    The stew pot is back on simmer. Things are slowly getting back together. Oh!! I can see the notification lights are lighting up but Frank has not finished sorting out the notices. Be back in a minute.

    Frank is still working on the server, parts are all over the server room floor.

    Frank found the plants, he's putting them back in the plant room, YAYYYYYY!!! :)

    Lets hear it for Frank!!

    Yep, the Stew boiled over a little today and I was out with my mop frantically clearing it up before more bugs collected around the spills on the floor.

    (Translation: I upgraded the server's operating system and some configuration files were out of date, requiring a little fixing to get it going again)

    The Stew should be simmering nicely again now but if you notice any further spillages (errors) please let me know. :stew2:

    Thanks for you patience all! :D

    I thought it was my computer or my internet server and checked my end for problems, then the Stew was back.

    Well yesterday I tried to log in, but couldn't. However unlike everyone else over here - I automatically assumed that I had been banned! :D No really, I am always clam and decent over here only. While elsewhere on the internet, I am usually the worst troll one can imagine, (just go read some of the ugliest and most offensive comments I have posted on/through my YouTube account)!
    :smt044 :rofl:

    Which is why I am periodically banned from everywhere! So that's what I first thought - However on the off chance I also (just for the sake of curiosity) switched the proxy, to see if indeed it was just me, or was the GardenStew really down?

    Turned out that the website was down (even when I tried to see it through the Tor network, I got the same error message)... So that's when I realized that the problem wasn't with me. However, I also knew that Frank will fix everything very quickly - Which is exactly what happened!
    :stew1:

    But the funniest thing for me is, that just now as I logged in - I got a 4 year patch! It honestly slipped my mind that it had been this long. And here I was thinking that I may have been banned!!! :smt044 So this indeed is a record, of me lasting this long anywhere on the internet! Who knew that this too was possible? :p

    Anyway, in celebration of GardenStew returning, and me also lasting for 4 years - I now openly share the 3D Stew wallpaper that I had once created in AutoCAD, (in case our Stew goes offline again, we at least will have something on our screens to look at)! :D

    Here is the small 4x3 aspect ratio version:

    And here is the large 16x9 widescreen aspect ratio version:
    https://mega.co.nz/#!RJMWRYCC!GTT4UvuSQ ... BOt7itS8S8

    ENJOY!!! :smt033

    Yup I also tried to get on the Stew yesterday and NO-pictures or anything. I thought now what. Is my computer not working properly. So frustratedly I just turned it off and thought---we'll tomorrows another day.
    Yippy! Frank so glad to hear that you got all the Stew parts back in the pot and simmering right along. You are awesome! Thank you.


    Wow S-H that is really cute. You did a great job on the Stew pic. I don't know if they ban folks from the Stew. Maybe just put then in a pot and let them simmer, or dig a hole, plant them, and wait to see what comes up. ;)

    Disaster diverted! I had no idea, I have been out doing Autumn tidies, and been so weary at day's end I couldn't sit in front of the computer.
    So nice to know we have Frank taking care of us and Garden Stew! Best gardening web site!
