avrfreaks website

Hmmm.... that's interesting, yes it was there very recently. I can't access it. I know many sites that have been closed down to get rid of the current virus that is killing them and their email right now.

Been wondering the same myself......

Could be I suppose. But if you are talking about Sassa, that IIRC doesn't use email to propogate, but shutting down may still prevent it, especially if the freaks site uses Windows :(

Was Ok up until about 4.00pm Friday (UK time). A traceroute to the site goes cold after atm2-0-33.60M.trd-trs-pe1.ip.teledanmark.no :(

Phill.

yes, it is built on windows PHP and mySQL, and supported by a group of student AVR enthusiasts.

I haven't been a dedicated user, but weren't they talking about changing their forum software recently. Perhaps something went "horribly wrong" and they've gone offline to fix it.

Regardless, the machine at their address (if there is one) isn't servicing requests at any of the standard ports so for all intents and purposes they've pulled the cable.

Did they change from FreeBSD?

Seems to be back up now as of 2.10pm UK time.

Ohhps, you may be right, that rings a bell. I am thinking of another site, however it is back on line and the reason they were down is very obvious. A complete re-build :-)

Too bad they didn't make it a little more usable. Hint: I don't enable Java or popups in my browser. Avrfreaks is useless without one or the other. Sigh...
