When it's all over and done and you've had a good night's sleep, we expect a blow by blow report on what went wrong. This was like booking passage on the Titanic, when did you first see the ice berg, when did you suspect you were headed for trouble, etc?

In my opinion a lot of the computer stuff is done to us on purpose to make us buy new machines. Windoze, I have to go back to win95 install because all my higher versions are upgrades that won't install without a previous version, it's a n... [ More ]

it AWESOME Chief,

the new location bring faster enough using IE8 with internet mobile, although i'm aware that internet mobile bandwidth and steady connection were the main speed but using a friend dell vostro a840 it seem like a rocket speed that i've seen accessing lotterypost site :)

good luck

One option for lottery results that was down for very little time: the Lottery Results Gadget. I had it back up and running within an hour or two, and it kept delivering the latest lottery results during the site outage. USA Mega was also up just about the whole time (For Mega Millions and Powerball results.

Talk about being tied into a website: It actually took me an hour to figure out that I could check for the winning numbers in the local or home websites of the drawings....its almost like for 2 days there was no lottery!!

Nice Job!! WTG Todd

Todd, just know that you are appreciated for what you have created and work so hard to keep going. As much as so many people suffered withdrawal, (me included), please don't neglect your health or your family. Those are the most important things in your life.

Thanks.

Todd,

I think most everybody here would prefer you to be healthy and rested. Take a break, you deserve it. If LP is glitchy or down, so be it, it is up 99.99% of time, we can deal.

Regards,

Over the past couple of days I have died a thousand deaths, as everything that could go wrong did go wrong. (Murphy's law is alive and well.) In truth, I was almost not even able to get things working today at all. I have slept very few hours.

There is still lots for me to do over the next couple of weeks, but I will try to keep everything running as smoothly as I can over that time.

I am eating a banana right now so cheers...

Hi everyone, just wanted to say thanks for the words of encouragement for tomorrow. I'll be happy when it's over.

I also wanted to let you know that more good stuff is one the way. Within a week or two (probably the week after next) I'll be releasing a new feature aimed squarely at Pick 3 and Pick 4 players. It's a nifty tool that Gold and Platinum members can use, and Platinum members get some really cool extra features. It's one of those things that is very helpful, but also just plain fun... [ More ]

Todd a real mouthful for computer stuff, sure glad you're at the helm! Great work indeed, I think I understood you up to your 8th paragraph because of my design work in Architecture ie...total building energy requirements and some other sophisticated integration for offices and the like, but computer equipment itself as you pointed out has got to be the latest tech for this LP adventure!

WOW...good luck on the exchange.

Todd — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 22:01:44 GMT

Please be aware that on Thursday, October 22, Lottery Post will be unavailable in the afternoon for a period of between one and two hours.

Unfortunately, I will not have the precise time when the site will become unavailable until right before it happens, so the best I can offer at this point is that it will be sometime after 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Once the site is unreachable, it will be offline for between one and two hours. Naturally, I will do my best to finish up and get it back onl... [ More ]
