Thanks for all the info., acknowledgements and updates Denis.

You are absolutely right-so many people have contributed to our Knowlege, including yourself, and it is only right that they be credited and thanked.

Good luck with all your future endeavours . Laughing

Many Thanks, Ron, for kind words. Smile

I just finished studying TV Times for the period 1955-1968. After studying TV Times for 1969, I will return to the list of performers who participated in the Avengers and who are currently alive or possibly alive. Alas, lately I go to the doctors and this affects the delay in working in this area.

I must report that the pause in work on Steedumbrella continues due to the deterioration of my computer (I have been working on it since the spring of 2008 and it just ran out of steam). I will be buying a new one in October - more powerful. Wink

Denis,

I hope you are well. Just to report that I can't access your site from the UK currently, is this something you are working on?...

Best wishes.

Many thanks for worrying about my health, Ian. There are some problems with it, but this is not serious.

This causes some surprise as to what happened to the website. The other day I received a message from the hosting Fornex, where located a website on paid basis, that all its contents were deleted. Shocked

It began with the fact that my father had financial difficulties and I transferred to him almost all of my cash reserves, leaving for myself only part of the finances for what was needed. Alas, at that time the financial balance of my Fornex cabinet was small and soon the site was frozen. I was going to pay for the services as fast as I could, but suddenly, without any warning, the all content was deleted (before, I always received different letters from the administration for any reason).

New hosting tariffs look expensive and less profitable - now I’m thinking about whether I should continue to work with Fornex or go to another hosting. Most likely I will resume work for Steedumbrella somewhere in November, as at the beginning of November I should have financial stability. Wink

Best wishes

Sorry to hear about the problems Denis but glad you are OK.

I hope you are able to get your site running again soon.

Ian, thank you again for your goodness.

At the moment there are the following news:
The site will continue to be located on Fornex hosting, but at a tariff that provides only one gigabyte of space (instead of two, which Stedumbrella was before). I think that I can completely put the current content into this space if I transfer the PDF materials and other bulky images to another storage (all the material was located on the one base before).

I still plan the starting to restore website data from scratch in online sometime in November.

Sorry to hear that, best wishes that things may be looking up soon.

Thanks for all best wishes, but for certain reasons, now plans for the rehabilitation of the site are postponed to December. I will try to return the site to work as quickly as possible, given my own desire for this, but so far I can not say anything specific.

My schedule is following:

1. After the event, I participated on November 2 (in fact, in the last weeks I was engaged in musical activity) I returned to work at the IMDb to continue the publication of information on actors for British TV series ITV Television Playhouse, Armchair Theatre, and ITV Play of the Week.

I went for this to make it easier to work with the section on the Alan Hayes' website Randall and Hopkirk (Declassified)

2. Yes, I had early agreement with Alan to work for one section of his site, and so until I complete this I will not go on to work for Steedumbrella.

Cheers, today I finished work on the update for the main missing information of British classic TV series on IMDb.

Added about 700 missing TV plays for British classic TV series: ITV Television Playhouse, Armchair Theatre, ITV Play of the Week, Biggles, Inside Story, Theatre 70, Drama 61-67, Tales of Mystery, Knight Errant Limited, Somerset Maugham Hour, etc.
I was surprised to find that the TV series Big City (1961) and Triangle (1964) were completely absent at IMDb. These were the last series that I added to the database - from tomorrow, finally, I will resume work on the Alan' section. Wink

http://www.randallandhopkirk.org.uk/who_main.htm

Yesterday I wrote a letter to the hosting administration, where Steedumbrella will continue to be located, regarding some of the nuances for the resumption of the work for site. I asked if they kept a copy of the contents of the site so that later it could be transferred to a different tariff.

Since yesterday, I have been somewhat busy arranging a new computer. I switched from the screen 15 inches to 23 and from Windows XP to 10 - still unusual (oops, on the new keyboard I began to issue typos - have to check the my text repeatedly}. Laughing

In recent days, Alan and I have been working hard on the Actors section for Randall and Hopkirk (Declassified) website. The stop is the letter "L".

Alas, I have not received any response to my message for the hosting administration, where Steedumbrella will continue to be located, regarding some of the nuances for the resumption of the work for site. I asked if they kept a copy of the contents of the site so that later it could be transferred to a different tariff.
There is no answer and obviously I will upload the contents of the website from scratch.

From other news, Alexey Sidorov from Steedumbrella plans in January to make voice acting at Sergey Pronin's studio for Avengers episode The Living Dead. If the result is approved by Russian fans, Alexey will continue with voice acting for all the surviving Avengers episodes recorded on videotape.

I can recommend zuver.net.au for hosting. Their cheapest option (1GB of storage on cpanel) is AUD $40 per year. I'm using 2GB so I'm paying $50 per year. Much more stable than NetRegistry who charge $117 for a lesser service.

Piers, many thanks for recommendation.

Alas, my decision to stay on the same hosting was for the reason that I do not have the opportunity to change the domain binding to another hosting. I did a domain registration on a site that no longer exists and although the owners of a closed site refer to the fact that all the data was redirected to Reg.ru, with the possibility of using the same login and password, in reality, the login and password I used do not work now. I tried to get to my data in other ways, but to no avail. At some point, I was tired and decided that I forced to continue to work by Fornex.

The one-gigabyte tariff on Fornex is quite affordable, but not others. I think it will be quite enough if this time I will not upload all the content to one drive - but go as for massive content to some kind of storage like Google Drive. We'll see. Wink

you can reregister a domain with another provider easily enough, I transferred my domain registration as well. All you need is the domain key which should have been emailed to you at some point.

Many thanks, Piers. This changes things unlike I read various messages on the Internet and go to the conclusion that I should personally change the binding. I will do this after finishing work with a section on Alan’s website - as you are right, there are many more profitable hosting companies.

From today, I continued to work for Alan's section (getting used to the new computer). The letter "M" now - just completed the work for Victor Maddern (many inaccuracies).
