AU's shopping system is down

[mephisto]

this gets better and better

disconnected phone lines
answering machine = black hole
no replies to e-mails

and now:

the shopping system on AU.com doesn't work anymore

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]General network error. Check your network documentation.

so there are no new orders coming in --> no money for refunding MSCL customers

Aw man - now I can't get my Twilight Zone discs or my Jack Skellington snow globe!!!

Eh, not.

Nice, stable server they've got there, eh?

Maybe they failed to pay their web host.

[GaryEA]

Now that would be priceless.

Mephisto,

good question - in the meantime their website is up again

about the booklet: nothing amazing (that couldn't be explained in a few words: new crap from fuckedcompany.com, phone lines cut) happened in the last weeks, so it's basically the same as a few weeks ago: 70 pages
