Upcoming server downtimes

LIFE · #1 by **LIFE** » Jul 06, 2010 3:08 am

Just a heads-up:

We will have a few short downtimes during the next few days, starting in a few hours.

They'll only last a few minutes (or so they told me) as the server software gets updated through the host provider to keep the system up-to-date and secure. I'm running an on-the-fly backup right now, so no worries, nothing will be lost :dopey:

This is the mail I got:

Internal maintenance is due between 06/07/2010 until 08/07/2010 from 6-9am (GMT +1).

On one of the days mentioned above, your product will not be available for approx. 15 minutes within the mentioned time frame.

We are anxious to complete the maintenance works as fast as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.

Is this to get rid of the leprechauns?

I hope the back up is being tweaked to lose all trace of ass-raping space lizards :coffee:

Read a book.

Where would one get such a thing?

You could visit a book-borrowing building... I forget what they are called...

Who do I write to for compensation for this inconvenience?

I know John Terry's performance against Germany was dire, but surely it wasn't THAT bad!

Errr, thanks for your offer, but ... I think I'll go for a more sensible and constructive way of spending my time, like banging my head against a wall. At least a wall is real.

As is the Vatican.

One day, when I finally get off my ass and leave the RCC (since, nominally I'm still a member) I'm going to write a long letter to the Vatican, explaining in detail why I think they are the sorriest pricks on this planet, and why the pope especially would do well to walk into the Tiber and never come back out. I hope to get excommunicated for it. How fucking cool would that be?

You're a fish. You have no soul.

Just Sole.

You're right :oops:

But it oughtn't to be! :grin:

Cool!

Let today be the day!

Here's the address:
His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI
Apostolic Palace
