Steve ? you here ?

Haven't been able to get to Smallbear for a couple days now.

Anyone heard anything ?

It was down for me yesterday and worked earlier when I went on.

If Steve does read this, when are you getting more B100k board mounted pots!

Yea. We have had some on-and-off problems since the site was migrated to a new (dedicated) server last week. It had to be done, because page refreshes from the former, shared server were taking forever. This was making the customer service people really growly and cutting productivity. So we are moved now, and I hope the last of the kinks have been worked out.

An order of Alpha stuff docked last Thursday, but the arrival notice says that Customs wants to do a physical inspection of the container before goods are released. Since SBE does not traffic in illegal addicting substances (!), I'm hoping that we can have more pots at our door this week. I will post ASAP.

Pots.... must have been a typo on the manifest

I thought you folks had decriminalized pots or was that just Washington and Oregon?

Some places. But possession of pans is still a felony.

Depends... if they are made from synthetics like Teflon and Aluminum, they seem to look the other way, but let 'em catch ya with a fully seasoned cast iron... Whoa Nelly!

Try refreshing your browser page.  This https://www.smallbearelec.com/home.html says that the upgrades to the servers are over, and the pages work for me. It may be that your DNS has not updated yet, as well. Moving to a new server requires propagating the new IP address of the new server through the DNS chain before your DNS points you to the right page.

Feds were searching for smuggled weapons of mass distortion.

Thanks RG. That's what it was... I had to update my hosts file with the new IP.

This is an UPGRADE? The new site seems slower than evolution!!!

I knew that I heard "Washington & Oregon" in a song! at 1:28 in from Lonnie Donegan 55 years ago.

Since the talk of DNS issues, in general it might be a good time for everyone to make sure they don't have the DNSChanger virus. Facecrooks article link about it below:

The FBI seized the rogue DNS servers and replaced them with legitimate ones. This was done so that infected users would not have their Internet access disrupted. The bad news is that these replacement servers are set to go offline on July 9, 2012. Any infected computer still utilizing these DNS servers will lose Internet access at that time.

Use the links below to see if your computer is infected:
