MTM Link at top of forum broken

I've notice that the MTM link leads to...nothing, for the last couple of days. Does anyone know if this is temporary, or has the individual that was hosting the site taken it down?

The last time I used it was on Friday and it was working. It is still down according to a couple of the "is it down or just me"-type of diagnostic sites. I have noticed in the past that the site may not be accessible for a few hours but nothing lasting a couple of days.

Just checking on the German TPF: http://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/178429 ... ost1916998

The hosting company "Netghost" has temporarily shut down that MTM-server due to the heat (not further specified).

It's German TPF forum member netghost78 who runs that MTM-server from home.
Apparently it got hot in the room where that server was located.
He also just moved house, hence the downtime.

It was on for a bit yesterday, but now it's off again.

Someone (perhaps a poster in this thread) put together a spreadsheet version of the MTM lookup database;
does anybody remember how to download it? I'm a little fuzzy on how we did that - did we use a torrent?

I once prepared a reduced text copy of that spread sheet and use following script to search it locally (line breaks in search results are added manually here):

Code: Select all

# cat /usr/local/bin/tpspecs
#! /bin/bash

PRG=$(basename $0)

MTMDB=/usr/local/share/ThinkPad/MTM-All.txt 

if [ "$#" = "0" ]
then
    echo ""
    echo "Usage: $PRG <PRODUCT-ID>"
    echo ""
    echo "The PRODUCT-ID (or TYPE) refers to the 4 plus 3 character code"
    echo "separated by a hyphen, which is usually shown on an adhesive"
    echo "label at the bottom side of any Thinkpad, and also in the BIOS"
    echo "as the first 7 characters of the 'System-unit serial number'."
    echo ""
    exit 0
else
    if [ -f "$MTMDB" ]
    then
    for MODEL in "$@"
        do 
           echo ""
           grep \("$MODEL"\) "$MTMDB"
        done
        echo ""
    else
        echo ""
        echo File "$MTMDB" not found
        echo ""
    fi
fi

exit 0
Hope this helps!

I just received the info that the MTM-data are to be transferred from someone's private server to a server from www.Thinkwiki.org
The WHEN is not known yet, but shouldn't take too long.
As soon as known, the MTM link at the top of this page will be updated.

Due to the current hot weather in Germany, the private server is not online.
HTH.

Until further notice you can use this: http://thinkpadder-id.com/mtm/
Not as good, but at least it works.
If the other one stays off, maybe we should change the MTM-link...
