Downtime 5th of March 2014

Received from our hosting company (Blacknight):

In our on-going effort to provide our customers with the best hosting solutions, we will shortly be decommissioning some of our older legacy VPS servers, and migrating the VPSs on those servers to newer VPS hardware.

When this is occurring

Your VPS is scheduled to be migrated on Wednesday the 5th of March. We will commence this migration at 6pm and run till midnight. As there are multiple VPSs to be migrated your VPS may go down anytime during the maintenance window, and we estimate the downtime to be around 30-60 minutes per VPS depending on your VPS itself.

 

Merchant Shipping (registration of ships bill 2013)

The primary purpose of the Bill is to replace and update the
Mercantile Marine Act 1955 (as amended by the Merchant Shipping
(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1998 and the Sea-Fisheries and
Maritime Jurisdiction Act 2006), to provide a legislative basis for the
establishment and regulation of a modern and comprehensive ship
registration system with a new centralised, electronic and accessible
national ship register, the Irish Register of Ships, at its core.

From http://www.oireachtas.ie/documents/bills28/bills/2013/13913/b13912s-memo.pdf

It’s not quite clear how this will affect angling boats.

.. small boats carrying
no more than three passengers for the purposes of angling will be
required to be registered on the Register in accordance with the Bill..
