I'm going to take a break from X404 for a while. I will likely still read and may occasionally post, but tbh so much content there at the moment is either not of interest, contentious or downright irritating.



It may be a SOH failure on my part, but I'm not the only one, quite a few of the old regulars are ghosts around the place and when I find myself marking "read" more conversations than I actually read or take part in it's time to take a break.



I want to put more time into LJ which this will give me time for, the only downside is that I can't get LJ during work time like I can X404 and this plaice <!--emo&:mmm:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/mmm.png' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mmm.png' /><!--endemo--> Ah well, time will tell.

Yeah, has been for a couple of hours or so.



My last post was a rant about Americans measuring butter with cups.

What's wrong with that? I still work in cups when I'm baking, even now I'm back in the Motherland <!--emo&:huh:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/huh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='huh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Cups are 'quick and dirty' and certainly not good for patisserie where exact amounts are the difference between fail and yum.



I think they do have their uses but with portion size I'm surprised the americans don't use buckets. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Cups are only good for measuring volumes of fluids.



1 cup of flour or sugar can vary by up to 50% in weight depending on how fine and how aerated it is.



Actually putting butter into a cup would only be possible if it was really soft. For making a lot of pastries, the butter absolutely must be chilled and hard like a brick. You'd have to sculpt it into a cup shape with a knife, and then it would probably get stuck <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->



As Matt said, with patisserie you need accuracy. Cups are fail.

It's down again, so I've done some digging.



It's registered to Saspro as we know. It's not due to expire until 2012.



It's hosted on www.fasthosts.co.uk and they seem to be up.



However, the name servers are on mediawebhost.co.uk and they seem to be down. A "Whois" on that shows it to belong to Saspro.



It's served by a company called "Fortress ITX" in NJ who provide co-location and managed hosting. Their main site is up, so it would appear to be a server in there which needs kicking.



Actually, I can ping it again now and x404 is back up.

Those name servers seem rather flaky...

Next time it's online, I'm going to stick the IP address on my router and DNS it myself <!--emo&<_<--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Well that's not helping! Looks like it's the web server that's down this time...



I swear my FreeHosted little website is more reliable and faster <!--emo&<_<--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' /><!--endemo-->

OK so this is looking like it may have been a problem at my end. I also couldn't get onto Matt's forum, but I could get onto both from my connection at work.



I ruled out DNS and it definitely looks like a routing problem on my Talk-talk-Opal-Tiscali connection formally known as Freedom2Surf-Nildram-Whatever.



Did anyone else have problems, or was it just me?

I had some problems with some sites earlier on, now that you mention it.
