Software error:

Cannot open database DBI::dr=HASH(0x82d3e5c), : ORA-12519: Message 12519 not found; product=RDBMS; facility=ORA (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach) at /usr/lib/perl5/framework/2.0/Objects/Oracle/DB.pm line 44. For help, please send mail to the webmaster (support@touchpoint.co.nz), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.


The error happens on IE when I try to get to page 3, am i just special or is anyone else having this issue

Also happening on Opera

If you are looking for the survey there should be a flashing gif at the top of this page (top right), or follow the link from Chris blog

I won't give you the link myself as it could be an issue my end

648641 2008-03-11 21:55:00 This is a server-side error. Their perl script is faulty, or the database it connects to is offline. Your end is not at fault. Erayd (23)
648642 2008-03-11 21:55:00 I think it's more of those copper thieves again taking up the undersea cables.

I have noticed that any time I try to post or even OPEN F1 via FF, it takes forever.

One strange thing too (ATTN: MODS) The little moving characters that used to be called smilies..stop their motion/activities when I am waiting and waiting for a hook-up with Upsidedown Land.

Either way...I blame Bill gates as he is not here to defend himself.

I thought that too, however as i was getting further on IE than Firefox I thought there may be another force at play

I have completed the survey, however I had to do it using my os/2 virtual machine which used firefox 2.0.0.9

so i am wondering if it may be Vista
