    Downtime

    Sorry for the downtime for the past few hours - I've been trying to get the site back online for the past hour or so, and have only just been able to fix the problem. I'm looking in to it now to see why it has happened - as this is the first time in years something on this scale has cropped...

    Server Move

    At some point in the next week (between 5th-12th April), we'll be moving Electronics Point from the current server to a nice shiny new one :D. It should be a little bit faster, but the main reason for the move is to make sure that we're able to keep current with PHP/MySQL releases that run the...

    Garage Door Opener Programming

    This isn't a circuit question, but it's electronics related so I figured it be on topic for this forum ;). We moved house a couple of months ago, and we've got a RF garage door opener in the new place. We were given a remote key fob to open the door, but I noticed there was a white panel...

    Server Maintenance

    I'm performing some site/server maintenance today - a bit of a spring clean :). It should only take a few hours to complete, but it may mean that the site functions a little slower than usual while I'm working on it. There shouldn't be any downtime, as I've put a few things in place so I can...

    Project Log Section

    It was suggested that we have a Project Log section on EP, where members can post an ongoing thread of a project they are currently working on. This new section (here) will allow a member to have an exclusive thread, so that they are the only ones able to update the thread - so that a clean...

    How does the Roomba perform?

    I saw that Steve has a Roomba (in this thread), so I watched the link to the video and it looks fantastic :cool:. Would you recommend one? It looks ideal... a gadget and something that saves me from hoovering, that's a win-win in my books ;)

    Additional Search Options

    I've added a couple more quick search options to the Search dropdown box on the top menu which should allow you to find your own threads and posts very quickly :). It's only a small addition, but I thought it was worth mentioning here in case it wasn't noticed - as it could be handy :)

    Amazon Kindle 3G

    I'm a bit of a gadget fiend, but I've always overlooked the Amazon Kindle ebook reader. However, my other half was looking to buy some old classic books - which happen to be free in electronic format. Anyway, to cut a long story short she bought the Kindle 3G ebook reader (£149/$189) and it...

    Time Problem

    It appears as though the server had changed it's time zone at some point in the night, which has had a knock on effect for recent posts. I'm going to see what I can do to fix this now :).
