Hello all,

At september 18th a little disaster struck our beloved site: While on holiday (of course) I logged on to our server and noticed something strange had happened, I saw popup's that didn't belong at the server at all!

First I tried to run several virus-checks but many couldn't install, also the ones that could install didn't find a thing. Funky thing is tha NOD32 that was running nonstop at the server didn't notice a thing! Worried about this attack I decided to shutdown the server completely to prevent the virus/trojan/whatever from being destructive.

Unfortunetly time was running out for me to setup a small webpage on another server to notify everybody since I had to travel to other places.

Back home I traveled to the datacenter with my girlfriend only to find out that having a RAID-configuration for the boot disk is a bad idea :(. The anti-virus program I took with me on a boot-CD couldn't find the boot drive at all! I decided to take the server home and work things out.

Then another tragic struck: my girlfriend had headaches for the last three weeks and the morning after I took my server home she was making some breakfast. While having a cup of milk in her hands, she really couldn't understand anymore what to do with it. In the afternoon we went to a doctor and had to go to the ER immediatly since they suspected a brain-stroke (is that how you call it?). After several test it was decided she had to stay at the hospital. The next few days I really hadn't time to work on the server because of hospital visits.

Today, after endless test my girlfriend was allowed to go home. She feels better now but it's still not clear what the couse could have been, they suspect acute demyelatation, not a good thing but also not the worst.

Anyway, I reinstalled the server, this time with Windows Server 2008 (old installation was 2003) and got the nexus back online (which went way more smooth as expected, I think I like Server 2008).


I hope this event didn't put too much of a shock to the community and that we can continue where we were.


Kind regards,

The Traveler
 
Whao ! Synchronicity, coincidence... last 3 weeks were a nightmare to my girlfriend and myself has she had to undergo a serious operation... it was on 18 th :shock:
Nothing in my DMT experiences could have prepared me to this. Sad to say but that kind of problem show us the weakness of life much stronger than any (bad) trip.
I guess I know what you may have felt and I wish your girlfriend to recover as fast as possible.

However I'm really glad to see my favorite forum back. I missed you guys !
Thanks Traveller for your hard work.
 
Thankyou for getting the site back up TheTraveller. To sort it all out whilst horrible things were happening in your private life is true dedication. You are a gentleman. Sending my wishes for your g/f's full recovery:)
 
Glad your back Traveler, hope you and yours are well or get well soon. Next time you decide to pull a stunt like that, going on holiday and all, can I come with you?
 
Thanks Traveler! I started to fear that the nexus was gone forever...I damn near cried.

I'm really sorry to hear about your girlfriend... She's in our thoughts and prayers. May she have a quick and complete recovery.
 
I have to thank you all in the name of my girlfriend, she is touched by all the kind words you showed for her.

On this moment she's still a bit shaky but doing much better as before. Last weekend we went off to visit a nice town in The Netherlands, it was a good thing to do for her since she needed to take a break of everything.


Kind regards,

The Traveler
