Nice to be back after being off for a couple of hours.  Dory, BMJ, do you know what happened?

Re: where was everybody?
I *promise* I'll type slower from now on.
Very much enjoyed the nostalgic original 'maintenance mode' message that the server would be down on 5/2 for 15 minutes for the installation of extra hard disk storage for all my and jg's posts...

Re: where was everybody?
In non-technical terms, the server was constipated, and it required an enema to gets things moving again -- and I didn't learn about it until 2 hours after the problem arose.
Technically, the problem was a full /tmp -- we raised it 4x.

Re: where was everybody?
Yup. Server problem. Apparently it went down around noon central. I noticed around 2pm central and put the board in maintenance mode and poked it a bit. I ultimately guessed the problem correctly, but dory36's server team had to figure it out independently as the problem was preventing my mail from getting to him.
Heh, well the admin functions of the board were messed up, too. I had to edit files by hand to get it in maintenance mode and then spend 15 minutes searching for how to change that message by hand. Maybe I'll go change it to a generic message for next time that happens....

Re: where was everybody?
I modified the forum database before I noticed the real problem. I ran an upgrade script on it and optimized it. It shouldn't have changed anything, but let me know if something looks amiss.

I use the beer to bribe the guy who works on the server.
That's my story and I am sticking to it!

Re: where was everybody?
...and we've never seen the two of you together at the same time.
Maybe a hat, fake moustache and some funny glasses...and you're both the same guy!

It will be reviewed fully at the next staff meeting, where highly motivated participants will contribute to a valued-added outcome. The three cs - customers, competition and change - have created a new world for business maximization of shareholder wealth through separation of ownership from management motivating participants and capturing their expectations. To experience a profound paradigm shift, quantitative analysis of all the key ratios has a vital role to play in this building flexibility through spreading knowledge and self-organization.

Re: where was everybody?
Lets just make sure we meet all the criteria for ISO 9000/9001 compliance, and get ourselves to utility like five nines uptime from now on.
Yeah, its been a long time since I worked...
Big fun when I had an IT VP tell me she wanted the systems I was responsible for to "exceed utility levels" and I pointed out that our uptime and reliabilty records already beat the local phone and electric company's numbers... :P
