Virology blog has completely disappeared. Update : It's back!

Welcome @dave30th!

 

I think we should call you vexatious, say you are stalking us and claim we sent you a cease and desist letter then kick you out.

 

It's nice to have some non ill people around as well so they can remember all of the stuff we have forgotten

 

Absolutely thrilled to see you here, @dave30th . I wish there was a hero emoji I could click incessantly right now

 

The Virology Blog seems back up now. Good as the Trail by Error posts are such a fantastic resource

 

P.S. We are very modest as well .

 

Now you've torn it David. Lurking was one thing but outing yourself like this is a bit of a shock.
They don't bite, actually, as you well now.

I have just emailed you on another matter!

If you feel a bit more adventurous, here's a guide on how to trace the route from your computer to a destination in windows (up to version 8) https://kb.iu.edu/d/aihy

linux or iOS (not sure for iOS) : type 'traceroute www.virology.ws' in the terminal. (obviously change the target to the one you want)

If a site has information that you want to use in future, it's always a good idea to keep a backup. There are ways to save a webpage so that it is available offline. (Usually right click on the page and choose 'Save Page As') Don't know how to do this on a phone or tablet, sorry.

 

Really glad too see you here @dave30th. Those blogs were a beacon of light in a very dark world. Glad they are back! And welcome!

 

Glad you are here, @dave30th!

 

We are the most modest patients anywhere. So modest, so very modest. We are THE BEST at being modest
