CYCLOGS

KotM based on elevation or something else red?

Hi Garz. Its Elevation.

 

[Davidc]

I kept cycling logs before I used Cyclogs and have kept them going, useful when the site goes down.

There's always a bigger risk of failure wiith private sites like Cyclogs and CycleChat than with commercial sites, so it's always worth keeping data copies youself.

Hope it's back soon.

Just did a whois on the domain. :

Domain ID: D150837802-LROR
Domain Name:CYCLOGS.ORG
Created On:01-Feb-2008 11:15:27 UTC

I hope he hasnt let the domain expire!

It does have phases of going down, sometimes for a couple of days. It's irritating but then I think it's a one-man-band website run by a chap in his spare time (I may be wrong).

No you're absolutely right, plus he has kids and a job. He lives around the corner from me and I sometimes ride with him. I'd been using the site for a while before he even mentioned he ran it.

I'll email him to see what's happening.

 

[Davidc]

Any news? it's still down this morning (though judging from the weather forecast I won't be riding much until later in the week!)

 

[Rassendyll]

OK I've heard from Mr Cyclogs...

The good news is the domain registration has not lapsed and all the ride data has been backed up.

It's the same problem that occurred before - the hosting service claim it is taking up too much server capacity.

The bad news is there is no obvious answer so he has to check all the code, polarise the dilithium crystals and all that sort thing, but as noted above, he does it in his spare time so there's no way of knowing how long it will take.

Pen and paper or a spreadsheet for the duration. Keep calm and carry on.

Aha... good news. And as I suspected... it is the same issues as last time.
Thanks Rass.

I guess 'available capacity' is a function of £££? I would be more than happy to make a small contribution to boosting that capacity if necessary.

 

[mrben]

Anybody know who he's hosting with?

Also, it would appear that the twitter and flickr users have been deleted, which worries me a little, although if he's debugging server load issues I guess he might do that...

If we can get it through paypal or whatever I was thinking of having a mini cyclechat fund raising exercise for cyclogs. Of course the money may not be used for getting a better service but that's a risk and fair enough with what they've done up to now.

He did previously have a 'donate' facility (which I used) but didn't do much to advertise it.

+1 and ditto, and happy to donate again, I just don't want to be the only one.

 

[ianrauk]

Dind't see that you could donate. But once up and running will throw a few quid his way

+1 and ditto, and happy to donate again, I just don't want to be the only one.

+ another 1 (and Chuffy)!

Thanks to Rassendyll for investigating, it must sometimes be a thankless job for Mr.Cyclogs trying to maintain it in his spare time - but he does have a big fan club

Ah, I had wondered what had happened, thanks for the update. Bikejournal is is then (I use both).
