Unexpected Slashdot Downtime 219
Netcraft confirmed it ... Slashdot was dying for several hours (along with SourceForge, which shares a corporate overlord and router). Some planned downtime from our provider apparently didn't come back up quite as planned. Sorry for the inconvenience. On the upside, we're moving to a new network and hardware soon, so the site should be much faster and more stable rsn.
It Was a Bad Morning (Score:5, Funny)
I started to shake uncontrollably and found breathing difficult. My roommate heard a strange moan and poked his head in through my door "Are you ok, dude?" I grabbed the closest thing to me, my Limited Edition Ceramic Invader Zim figurine and flung it at him. It shattered into a million pieces.
I wrenched the monitor to face the corner of my room and set the drinking bird to hit F5 repeatedly. I grabbed my torn and tattered copy of this quarter's 2600 and curled up in the fetus position sucking my thumb and sobbing quietly. I picked up my cell phone to call work, I would not be coming in today

Glad to know I wasn't the only one suffering withdrawal symptoms. Out of curiousity, what are the stats for Slashdot's uptime? It must be pretty damn good as this is the first outage I can remember for a long time...

Here's the acid test. If you found the GP (It Was a Bad Morning) post funny, probably you are fine.
If you actually found it insightful- seek professional help.
