This website has changed already, I tried to get in this afternoon and couldnt find the Griffith Valuation page. It was such a great site, but reading the intro I think it may only be accessible by going to the Library, has anybody tried it out today? I might be just having a grey moment and just overlooked the page but dont think so. Maureen At 02:32 AM 4/17/2008, you wrote: >I ALWAYS DO THAT!! Sorry - got a bit excited!!

This is a partial repeat of my post to the Donegal Lists on the 18 April 2008, it is in the archives of the three prime Donegal Lists. The email message below was in response to a message I sent requesting some information regarding the GV site on www.askaboutireland. website. It turns out iaw their response the site was not for us mortals to use at this time, it was a BETA site for testing which we were not suppose to find................ Problem with any site not password protected is it will always be found and accessed at some point in time........................................ They do state: "We do expect the service to be fully up and running and publicly available shortly. " My opinion is that they have shut it down to web traffic in order to adjust and modify their new program. I would do the same if it were me controlling the process. If you go to the main site you will see a notice that the site is being worked on --Apache HTTP Server maintenance. Now the question is when will come back on line for us mortals. Below is a reply received from the Managers of the GV data site on my observations regarding the slow operation of the images recovery portion. I have removed the names of those involved for security reason. Bob Cdn ------------------------------------------------------- Dear Bob, Thank you very much for your email to my colleague ........ The Griffith's Valuation service is actually still in prototype and test stage at the moment and not officially launched as yet. There are elements which are being reviewed, tweaked and tested still. The images are not functioning in the way in which they will do once the service is publicly live, but it will work properly on Vista and other operating systems then. We have recently made a link available on the www.askaboutireland.ie website but really intended it to be accessed only by the local studies librarians of the Irish public library authorities who are testing the service. We thought we had it buried well enough not to be found generally! We do expect the service to be fully up and running and publicly available shortly.

Hi, I couldn't get on either... Thank goodness I was able to download some info. and save it that first day that Lindel posted the link. I hope it gets back up for us all, too! Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful spring day!
