WTF is going on around here???

[jaydebruyne]

whats going on with Tapatalk?? I can't log on.
For a wee minute I thought the site had been shut down and I got all distressed man lol

I know the sites been updated but for ages when I tried to log on with tapatalk I got a message saying the site was upgrading. Now I just can't log in.

Anyone else got the same issue?

We've ditched it. It's old news.

The forum works fine in your browser these days. Just use that. And if you want push notifications we use PushOver (www.pushover.net)

The site is great now so there's no need for it really.

Works going really well Shaun, haven't had a quiet day since I left the firm. Funny, I'm doing a lot more tricky/harder jobs now I'm on my own then I would have crapped my pants at with the firm.. things are a lot more relaxed.. best decision I ever made.. love working for myself. How about you? You busy?

Seem to be getting by ok.. it's weird not getting paid at the end of the month now.. so still adjusting to budgeting etc. I'm pretty much the cheapest in my area that I know of so I'll stick to this for now and see how it goes.

Jobs like complete first fix for bathrooms, bathroom renovations, adding radiators to existing circuits, pulling up floors and boards, repiping 1 pipe systems etc.. it's all quite straight forward now I'm doing it more but had I been given this jobs at the firm under a constraint of time I'd have called in sick. I opt for these jobs now, get a figure in my head how long I think it'll take then add a day for my slowness, charge accordingly and get to work. No pressure (well, some pressure but not like with the firm).

Try it one day now to see what you think. It removes a lot of the content and makes just the post viewable. Moves user tags and things. It should be akin to using your phone on a news website or something.
