The good thing was that the fire was contained and soon put-out with Arthur's garden hosepipe.'</p> <p>After the fire, NewsBiscuit relied for several hours on its back-up system, which provided a limited service to a handful of Portsmouth residents. With the aid of binoculars, they were just able to discern a figure on a cliff top across the water, broadcasting the ticker-loop in semaphore. </p> <p>'The new NewsBiscuit.com site is now operating well, and to ensure its reliability is now backed-up onto a C90 cassette every three months. Arthur's told us to not expect any more problems, in-fact he's made a sign saying this, which he is going to nail to the disk drive.'</p> <p>Opponents of electric-powered typewriters and card punches on the island have threatened NewsBiscuit with a spam attack. sending NewsBiscuit HQ a paper-tape generated Telex stating 'We’ve got tins and tins of the stuff.
