A Study in Strange-ology

[Haylie]

This morning (7:45-8:00 for me) I tried to get on here as I usually do, but instead of the forum, up pops a Google page telling me the link is broken.

WTF, mate?

Well, for me, the site was apparently down from about the end of my Physics class (right around noon EST), to just before 9 EST. I was annoyed, and worried what was going on. I think something was up with the server.

I'm not sure what the exact problem was, but it seems to have been for everybody--a server issue most likely, but it seems to have been dealt with for the mooment. ^^

Okay, that's good. Here's hoping it d--

Oh, crap. Amalia.

After chatting with Xia, the issue was indeed a server problem, so it did affect everyone and it wasn't just localized to specific people. But it's back now, so woo.

It's particularly annoying, since I was trying to edit a grammatical error in one of my posts at the time it went down. After I get home from work, I typically have free reign of my computer until around 8:00p.m. CST (which is when the O'Reilly Factor ends), at which point my dad kicks me off and works on stuff. The site wasn't back up until after I was booted offline. Computers may be the wave of the future, but they come with their own fair share of barnacles.

Unless you're in college and have a computer all to yourself.

But, yeah, it was annoying, as it went down right after my Physics class ended, and I didn't get a chance to get on that morning because of my 8 am CS 140 lab, and so, it didn't come back on until just before 9 EST, I think...
