Access to this website!
 
Has anyone else been having problems with access to this site for the last month or so? I only seem to be able to get in about once a week on average now.

Sometimes it can be hard to get into ... I always assumed that was because it's hosted back in Europe?

My Mac is going crazy on certain days......especially on certain threads. I assumed that it was because of the volume of users....

I see it G, its a forieng thing :) access is harder for you lot over there, if it is a european based server, then it may well be that you have more difficulties logging on.

Depends on what your skills are ... an MCP/MCSE isn't going to get employers jumping up and down all by itself ... plus we're up to Windows 2003 now :D

I had 12 years UK IT experience when I got here ... it initially took me 6 months to get a job ... I've now got 3 years Canadian IT experience and I know people who know people ... so it isn't impossible to move between jobs.

Somehow I get the feeling you'll make more money driving trucks :eek:
