There are a lot of visitors tonight

[leon]

Hi Guys, seems we have heaps of interested people viewing the site tonight, 200 when i last looked, i expect it is probably the interest in the Comet.

Cheers leon

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

Yep, there sure is a lot Leon.
There is also a lot of members online at the moment. Shows how good the viewing is

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

There sure is. I wonder if many are bots? The ol' Comet McNaught threads are sure copping a hammering.

[mojo (Terry)]

mmmm. The poor server is getting a hammering. It's nice to see but oi it's doing it's best to keep up.
Had a look Paul. No bots. They are real visitors.

And still I haven't seen this comet!

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Great to see! Let's see how the membership goes after this. If it goes through the roof then next time it starts to get slow we know what to do. Let it leak out there a near miss asteroid on its way.


Wonder if it's too late for me to start an astronomy shop

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

ahhhh, that might explain why this site is running slower tonight. Everything I click on takes ages to load. Never had it this bad before.

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

121 guests!!!!!!!!

and when I went into 'who's online' atleast 80% of them are reading one of the many Comet McNaught threads!

There were 207 guests when I looked earlier tonight Ken, and I think 50 members Big night.

Either the comet is hot news Paul , or the seeing is lousy and we are all in here again

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Both for me.....seeing....what's that?

I did my back about 3 months ago and the universe went out in sympathy. There's hardly been a decent night since. Just as well I've taken up solar imaging

and I now find out my Job has given me Arthritis in the elbows and wrists. How are we going to continue lifting our scopes into their mounts???

Well I don't know about you but I'm going to sell my house, move to the country where it's darker and build an observatory big enough to take all my mounts and have everything permanently mounts Bugger this lifting caper.

Paul & Ken remind me of two old men whittling in their rocking chairs on the porch with a shotgun between them and every now and then when they see a rabbit, one turns to the other and says, your turn or mine?

c'mon boys! You've got another 20 years until you're allowed to trade ailments in general conversation

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Is that an LX200 I see over there Ken???? You want it or should I

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

I tried to post on the McNaught image thread earlier, and I got a "Sorry but there's a problem with the server try again later" message.
Very busy tonight.

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Have a look how many views there have been in the McNaught discussion thread. Wasn't there only about two and a half thousand view up until today? It's now had nearly 7000 views



And check out the new member, 40 from yesterday and today up until now.

Hey guys lets tidy the place up a bit, what will the visitors think?
Someone open the window (or Linux if you prefer).
Who's gonna vacuum?

This comet seems to be doing for this website what the GST and Y2k bug did for my programming career
