Forum downtime - Thu May 31, 2007 - 09:00 to 10:00

Please note that exactly one week from the date of this post the forum will be offline for approximately one hour.

This is due to some additions of new hardware (faster CPU, more RAM, more disk, etc) in order to ensure that the forum stills responds reasonably quickly under heavier loads.

Unfortunately 09:00 to 10:00 is a very busy time for the forum, but it was hard enough getting access to the datacenter this "early" - you know what IT types are like - early starts aren't always popular!

So you'd be advised not to start writing a post just before 09:00 - you'll probably lose it

Apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

Just a reminder to everyone - this will be happening tomorrow morning. Just in case anyone missed it last time around.

I have to ask, all you regular contributors who have jobs how on earth do you find the time to post on here and successfully do your jobs? I work freelance at home and usually have lots of spare time but even I find that I can waste many an hour or so on here reading posts

always wondered...........

I also wonder sometimes...

I know another forum where members have 15000+ posts... most of the members posting while at work. The forum is a bit older than this one but still, 15000 posts! Thats a lot of time spent posting.

IMO there are far more constructive ways to pass the time.

Ok, this work is now complete. It took a little longer than normal, finished at 10:40.

seems a little snappier too. Maybe that's because all of the other slackers are working presently?
