Nothing dropping today?

[stender]

Been fiddling with my script recently and have manged to hit a block of about 48 hours???? Hows that? especially as i was only running at about 300 hits per minute.

 

[Darren]

[stender]

the usual block B, but was 172000

Last I saw was verycheeky.co.uk.

 

[grantw]

Do you know what time that was, the last I saw was wfh.co.uk, that was about 4 hours ago?

Grant

 

[Skinner]

Very Cheeky was about 90 mins ago or so i think.

I stopped updating the time on my database as it was making it fractions of a second slower, but as I'm still shamefully not a nom member, I need to trim all the time I can off.

[Darren]

Well done, nice catch.

Only seen a handful of drops today. Does anybody know if this is a deliberate policy by Nominet to make the system more random, or are they have problems?

Thanks
Stephen.

Every time I ring I have to spend 5 minutes convincing the person at the end of the phone that there's a problem, they then report it to the tech dept. and 60 minutes later everything starts dropping. There's clearly an issue but seeing as it's happening regularly it seems very odd that were still having to tell them about it rather than them looking out for it in the first place.

I'm sick of calling now, I may post on nom-tech later.

Maybe they Nom have hired the clowns that left 0and0 and 123-reg

 

[grantw]

Well, I posted it to the nom-tech list and it doesn't seem to have worked. I give up

 

[stender]

it's Shagged again! still waiting for drops from yesterday.

I also emailed Jay Daley last night but have no response yet. Going by the past few times, if someone doen't call Nominet and tell them it's broken then it won't get fixed.

I Phoned them yesterday at about 5 pm

I Phoned them yesterday at about 5 pm

they said they were aware of the problem and that my domain in question would be released by the end of the day.
( seemed like a standard responce )

i have just phoned them again and after reading what grant put

spend 5 minutes convincing the person at the end of the phone that there's a problem, they then report it to the tech dept

I got past the first person and put through to support and they are definitly now aware of the problem

Nom kinda reminds me of an old doctors I worked for, they had a system in place that was written in Perl and was about 6 yrs old, the perl script kinda randomly submitted existing perl into PHP forms and then a PHP system took over before handing back to perl, and there was even 2 small asp pages that handled things. The problem was that the pieces fitted together like a jigsaw put in place by a blind man with a hammer.

In the end the amount of work maintaining his current setup was astronomical as it used html, inline css and styling, javascript, php, perl, asp perl was using flat files and php mysql, in the end I quit and told him he needed to overhaul the whole lot to EITHER PHP or ASP, and the inline css needs to be fixed and he's looking at XXX hours to convert and upgrade his existing site, or XX to start from scratch.

I think Nom maybe having the same issue, where they are consistantly patching up their code when in reality they need to just patch this one while a brand new one is build from the ground up.

I mean when Nom took over there was probably what 1000s or 10000s of domains ? now theres millions, maybe it just can't take it ?

The renewel to suspended has also been eratic the last week or so too.

I don't think they have any scripting I think it's a monkey who presses the drop button and gets a treat each time. They obviously ran out of treats lastnight.

 

[monaghan]

Looks like they acknowledge there's a problem now
