sevfive : ii/se?? 

I mentioned earlier my new internet connection is up & running.

What I didn't mention were the issues involved which have now caused disaster & as I write this "sevfive" is down & I'm unsure if it's going to be back in the same place or if this is being read at a new location!

I originally had a dial up account through "senet.com.au" & hence that is where this site is uploaded via ftp. In order to obtain broadband, a second account was required & this was a similar user name but through "iinet.com.au". Both domains are one & the same company & the process used made sense, but I had a proviso being the senet account would be reinstated once the broadband was live. They agreed to this.

Basically, if I couldn't keep the same email address, I would have changed providers.

With the new connection running perfectly, I called to arrange the changeover this & instead of killing the iinet account, the support person disabled the senet account & simply linked the senet email address to the iinet account, thereby erasing this site on that server! 

I've since called again & 'supposedly' the correction has been made based on the original information. I must have clarified the details with the support person three or four times to ensure my sanity, but at the end of the call, she said another email address was linked ending with a "1"?!? Where did that come from?! 

So, overall is it correct? Not a clue!! I'll check it tonight if I still have access!

Update later in the day - Well, the configuration is correct & working, but everything on the senet server was erased. Thankfully, I did a backup not too long ago & uploaded all the content again. A few links are down but I'll sort them as I find them.

I do have to find a new password for my account though. When I first started with senet back in 2000, it had to be six letters. A few years later it needed to be nine characters with at least one number. Now, it needs to be a minimum of nine characters, contain letters & numbers, upper & lower case & the password cannot end in a number. What the hell??! It's too bloody hard! In the process of trying to invent a password which fulfills all the criteria, I've managed to memorise their system generation of random characters which was the temporary password!! That might just have to do!
