| Subject: | Network Issues At Matronics Last Few Days... |
Dear Listers,
Starting sometime on Friday November 1st, my Internet Service Provider (ISP) began "upgrading" their Domain Name Servers (DNS). DNS servers allow the resolution of computer names such as "www.matronics.com" to real addresses such as 64.81.74.3. This also impacts email delivery as well, since there is another layer of resolution that applies to email names.
Because of this upgrade on the part of my ISP, DNS service started getting unreliable
around Friday sometime, but I didn't notice it until sometime on Saturday.
When I used a tool called "nslookup" to test the resolution of name-to-address,
about 50-75% of the time my ISP's servers would response with an "SERVFAIL"
indicating that they didn't know the answer. I opened a ticket with the
ISP on Saturday, and by Sunday afternoon I had no feedback on the ticket so I
called in to support. "We upgrading the DNS servers, and it should back by Sunday
at 5pm." 5pm came and went with no resolution.
Well, long story short by Tuesday morning things were still not fixed and in fact
much worse. So, I opted to move all my DNS service to a different service
provider. I have a lot of DNS entries, so it took a while to get everything moved
over. It generally takes about 24 hours for a change like that to fully
propagate across the Internet which would be Wednesday morning sometime. I've
noticed that the Matronics web server traffic is picking up again, so many sites
have already propagated the new information.
I really should have just moved the DNS on Saturday when I first noticed the troubles,
but with stuff like this, you just keep believing that it gonna be fixed
any minute now.... And, in fact, that's what my ISP kept telling me...
Its always a giant bummer when stuff like this happens and particularly during
the Fund Raiser. I apologize to anyone that has tried to make a Contribution
in the last few days and had issues or was simply unable to connect. By the time
you read this email, the DNS should be fully propagated, and I ask that you
please try again.

Peter!
There's a straight 560 for sale now in Pennsylvania. Have you seen it?

Hey Adam!
Didn't know about this site at all Nice tough bird indeed! By the way, it is not
a "straight 560." As you can see the nacelles of N424RK are different than your
bird, which like the straight 560 have external exhaust augmenters.
Basically same airplane, almost same engine (+5hp), but cabin 10" longer and therefore
heavier: from 3900 lbs empty weight for the 560 instead of 4150 for the
560A (same GW 6000 lbs).
Help me out here, what do they mean by "TSOH" of 917 hrs but "TBOH" of 483 hrs?
If they did an overhaul on the engine 917 hours ago what do they mean by that
483? Aren't' those engine more like 1600 hrs TBO? therefore it should have 683
hrs left for TBO?
Jim Bob or anyone, have you all heard about this plane? Sure has a great price!
Looking at Flight Aware it seems that she is still flying as well.
Unfortunately, I just spent 5 times that price in cash for a downpayment for a
freaking tiny house in this part of the world
My problem is not buying the Commander, but right now I would not be able to drop
70K on it to keep it flying for a couple of years Too bad I wasn't ready yet
to buy 50VE! You took great care of her!
On that note, congratulations on stepping up on Ted Smith's final design. I don't
know if you ever saw this picture of the L-3805 TCFG is helping to restore
but I was struck on the similarity of the Aerostar & L-3805's fuselages. Check
it out. When you see the Blue Goose it does not look like a 520, but indeed more
like a high-winged Aerostar.
Good luck, keep in touch, and thanks for making those great videos!
