As you probably noticed at some point yesterday, the site went offline, returning only an error message that something called ionCube PHP Loader needed to be reinstalled. Since I didn't change anything on the site, I wasn't sure if it was a server issue on the host's end or what. Anyway, no one at this host company (DH) responded to support tickets for like15+ hours. Anyway, finally someone responded saying that a PHP upgrade required a change to the site and they apologized no one told me (thanks). A tech buddy of mine looked into the issue and fixed things.

It sucked having the site down. I go through withdrawals. This is why I've been wanting to move the site to a host company with a true VPS and phone support.

Did you miss me?

I was pissed right off.
I only get 2 days a week off today being one of them and no ink trails.
I ended up doing odd jobs around the house to kill time.

Bloody glad its back .

ahhh the joys of php coding sad.gif

the ironic thing was that at exactly the same time this place went down I got a message that a shopping cart I was building for a bloke was unavailable as well... so I was looking at 2 screens with php errors lines instead of what I expected to find

yeah you were missed smile.gif

cheers

Tried and tried and tried to get on the site....all bloody day and half the night,
Tried kicking the dog and strangling the cat and the missus hid in fright,
Hang on I said, everything will be A OK
I'll come back and check another day,
And sure enough, checked today....everything's looking bright.

maybe I should stick to drawing and attempting to learn to tattoo, coz my poetry skills suck....LMAO

yeah i dont log on as much as i would like to but when i tried to get on and i got that error message i thought "damn this sucks i guess i'll check back later" i know Jason wouldnt let this site fall off the web because its his little baby but if the day comes and Jason sells the site to someone/company i just hope they have the same passion for it as Jason does.
