Sorry for our problems today

October 25th, 2006

Sorry for our problems today
As a result of problems with Register.com we have had serious outages for most of the day. What normally happens is that the politicalbetting url takes you to Register.com which in turn points you to our server in Cambridge. For large parts of the day that has not been happening.

I’ve been like a heroin addict desperately in need of a fix especially after such a surprising poll.

The good news is that we are back. Thanks for your patience.

  4. So it wasn’t Labour trying to bury (incredibly) bad news then?

  6. 5,
    Commentator nearly there open the champagne.
    What price Labour with Brown, won`t get over Foot`s per cent at GE?
    I would like to back against all those confident Cameroons, winning any where near that big.

  8. I missed my daily 5 minute fix of pb.com before going to work, not to mention my daily 10 minute fix during lunch break. Still, that’s only 15 minutes of my life disrupted - I think the scars are going to heal…

    Nice to see everything back to normal this evening anyhow. :)

  12. Commentator. The man who believes only polls that say his side is winning. :roll:
