It's a good thing it was off season and not say the last Sunday in February or March. Then it would have got ugly.

I would've fixed it way faster, then.

Off-season .. I just let things work out on their own.

Well, lack of CD has made me a mite philosophical.

There was a time not too long ago when communications like this were not so instant, wide spread, and influential.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Regarding CD - it is a lonely thing when it is gone, I do know that.

Thank you to the folks who restored access.

I was (kind of) freaking out because I had stuff I needed to post about Mayhem in Merrimack.

I even logged on before going to school to get it out.

I'm not exactly a morning person and I like being early to get a good parking space, so having any downtime in the morning is rare.

I noticed that the TIMs accounts for teams were also down... Are the FIRST servers in Texas?

[JesseK]

Ha, go figure, some network servers at work were messed up. I contributed inability to get on CD to the inability to get on any external site altogether and vice versa, hence I never tried anything else on the internet until lunch time. See what happens when we use any one thing as a metric for other things?

Im glad to see others survived the great CD blackout of '08 only to be rivaled to the Northeast Blackout of '03

Gee I thought I was the only GEEK!! LOL It's amazing how addicting this site can be. There should be a 12 step program available for people who want to kick the processor..Hahaha Welcome Back All!!

[Travis Hoffman]

Is it me or are the CD notification emails taking some time to catch up? I received a "New Private Message" email for a PM I replied to about five hours previous. I'm also getting subscribed thread new post emails for posts I've already viewed.

That downtime has affected gamers also. Ridiculous. I nearly lost my mind with *half of the internet brought down on it's knees. ThePlanet.com still has a few servers down, they got hit pretty hard by it.

Thankfully, I now have CD to read, at least.


*half = all servers hosted in Texas; is not an exact estimation, just my guess

[Q. Sheets]

Unfortunately, I didn't go insane... I knew a Martus would get it fixed in their spare time if need be. I was content with IRC for the time being... you know, #firstrobotics on freenode

[acdcfan259]

I still say Dave hijacked it to slip in some early subliminal game hints.

[dubious elise]

Wow - I read the article on Slashdot the other day but I didn't really think that it had affected anything that I browse - crazy!
