hub relocation valentines day

Relocation relocation...
We took the hub from John's to Boris's today, this resulted in an outage until all the boxes came back and started talking to each other. The university checked the radio and all the mesh came back to life. We have further tweaks to do over the next few days to make it all happy, but we are letting it settle down to see what needs doing.

Many thanks to John and Sue for hosting the hub since the network started, and thanks to Carl for all his hard work in the attic putting the hub in Boris's. Thanks to Deb and Ian for all their help too, and Tommy for putting the new radio on the roof.

Patience for a day or two now and then we shall have a balanced mesh again. Ian is running tests to see where tweaks are needed.

planned outage 5th Feb 2009


There will be a small outage between 9.30 and 10.30 on Thursday morning 5th Feb to test a new radio antenna on Hilltop. Sorry about this but it is the only way to make sure it is working properly.

update:
New radio working fine, hub to transfer shortly which means another outage but hopefully not for long!
