Pushing 5 eights of uptime eh?
Panda3d is down almost every week and last week it was down for about 5 days. Can we get servers that don’t run on whale oil?
i second that. i’d be glad to see less downtimes. ~4 days in a row downtime during holidays is quite bad. since its the time where most people have time for working with panda.
not that i’m complaining 
but i’d really LOVE to see things improve a bit.
Downtime was indeed pretty annoying. We even had to arrange a backup website to still provide people with the downloads and the manual on IRC.
Glad that things are up again now. 
It’s more often that we have downtimes - mostly once per two/three weeks or so. (which is much more than the average server.) But this time we’ve reached a new record.
By the way: Merry christmas everyone!
Yeah thanks for the manuals again! Now i have an offline copy of the data 
i’d say, the forums are the best resource, so i was kinda lost during the downtime…
What they said.
Made it tough to do some work on my christmas break. Luckily i found this other site that has the manual:
Wow, that copy of the manual is ancient. Better grab this newer version, if you want an offline copy:
bin.pro-rsoft.com/panda3d-manual.chm
what are these chm files? i already saw them on geeknexus’ backup site (the one mentioned on irc)
those are like windows-help-files. you can open them under linux using either wine or some chm reader.
thx thomas.
already thought about something windowsish…
wine? There are tons of good chm readers for linux. I use xchm, works perfectly.
