Once more, with feeling....

Network Timeout-Server is taking too long to respond. June 17, UK Time

Been getting that for about an hour, now.

Anybody else experiencing technical difficulties?

Indeed. Perhaps not quite an hour, but it has been over 1/2 hour since I e'ed Harold about it (no response so far).

I would hope that Harold, being a sensible fellow, and mindful of his responsibilities to his employer, is at present in the embrace of Morpheus. Where I would be too if Beloved's cat had not chosen to use my head as a trampoline when sleep beckoned me. In any case, I am much too excited to sleep right now:

• my acrylic samples arrived today, and
  
• I think I may be close to a new vein of musical research

Its a hosting compnay VPS node failure..
Hopefully...soon...

Cheers
Harold

Arrrrrrrrgh. I thought it was just the connection at work then I get home and find out that its not happening here too. I was in the middle of crafting a post too. oh well hopefully it won't be long.

Alright, here's my suggestion: we, as the ingenious buggers we are, devise microscopically small engines, powered remotely by a miniaturized Tesla ray, which contain within them also Lilliputian Babbage machines. These invisibly small machines shall then be able to do amazing feats, such as healing a man's tissues from within his own bloodstream, and building mighty works from their base components. We shall market and sell these wondrous creations, and use the profit from said venture to purchase a great number of backups-upon-backups, and pay an army of Æther Engineers to guard it with their very lives 'round the clock. Then, this inconvenience shall never again occur.

Also, in my plan, everybody gets a pony.

Aw, I wanted to see if Widget posted anymore art!

Out still

*sigh*

I'm bored, need to read / write BG forum posts......

Feeling uninspired...need my next dose of brass goggles badly.

*Rocks in his chair, cupping his tea, and attepting to not freak out too much*

I thought it was just Etisalat playing around at first (even google gets consistent 'net work errors on this ISP) but no.

Hmmm, how long is is this likely to last ?

Until the Machine Uprising has been put down, I'm afraid. Gird yourselves, fellows! Do not fire till you see the lights in their eyes!

I knew I could smell gas yesterday. First that dreadful business with the air kraken (well, at least the Princess Seraphina Tea Room got redecorated) and now this! If the gracious Lord had meant us to have secret passages he would have made us non-Newtonian to start with.

The only motion I accept is Brownian.

Please don't force me to make a Brownian motion joke, its too early for toilet humour.....

And to think I have been tittering all night at "stimulated emissions". Ah, who knew science had such a dirty side? It must be my 10 hour straight physics study session

Science does strange things to people...Strange things...

This is not okay. It was down last night, and it still is :: sad abi::

What am I supposed to do in my workday? It's nto like they pay me to do anything I haven't already accomplished!

There's an incident open with the hosting company because our site and vps control panel never came back online after "routine maintenance". There's nothing to do but sit on my hands until they fix it. Boo

*sigh* ....just can't get good help these days....I'll be in my cabin, with a bottle of Absynthe....

I suppose I could use this downtime to get some things I've been meaning to done in the Real World.

Or I could sit here an post inane messages while eating ice-cream.

hmmmm, icecream.

*burp*

what icecream?

Oh dear, limiting yourself to a single bottle ... what if it is a long outage? markf
