    Default About the random down times...

    What exactly is causing the LHC down time we've been experiencing, if I may ask? I don't mean to criticize, but I thought we'd answered the hamsters' demands

    Dianyla did some stopgap repairs that partially fixed things for now, but the server needs to be upgraded. I imagine the problems will persist up until then. Dianyla and Stephanie are working out when to do a planned outage and upgrade, I believe, but we don't have any word yet on when that will be.

    I'm starting to believe that our Hamsters are actually the rare breed of Tennessee Fainting Hamsters. At the slightest startle, they all seem to collapse, and yet they nearly always reanimate and keep plunking along.

    Donations are certainly welcome by Steph, who pays all the bills 'round here. And if there's anyone out there who could give me a 26 hour day, please do!

    The hamsters are striking again. BAD hamstinks. I can explain the CIR for my state to them, explaining how they can not strike.

    Tennessee Fainting Hamsters! Eep! I knew we shoulda switched to chinchillas.

    I made a donation a couple of weeks ago, but I don't know about a 26 hour day I'll have to see if I have one laying around...

    MandyBeth, that made me laugh. Hamsters, look at what happened to MandyBeth's state!! If it can happen to people, it can happen to hamsters!
