I ALMOST DIED

I think someone went to truncate the access log table but used a DROP TABLE instead

That's right bagga, poke the angry horde!

I don't have any details, but it looks like at some point the database server took a dump and it just took a while for our hosts to sort it out. The server going down is almost completely out of our control, all I can really do is tug on sleeves and cry.

Thank you for explaining it in human speech. All I saw in the previous posts was blah blah blah blah blah blah baggachipz blah blah blah blah.

Certis is only allowed to cry when he's stripping.

I'm not sure if it's a GOOD thing or a BAD thing that the worst thing that happens to us in our daily lives is GWJ downtime.

Neither good nor bad, but quite SAD

You do what you have to do to get the servers operational again.

My corporation I guess finally got around to blocking this site so now I can only come on when I get home from work. I am a bit upset myself.

You didn't miss much, only that everyone was planning on using baggachipz to replace the destroyed centerpiece of this year's Burning Man festival.

I heard that because of Baggachipz, the terrorists won.

I went to work this morning to find out GWJ is now blocked

it sucks but o well hopefully it will be unblocked again.

Scientists have proven Baggachipz is the cause of global warming!

It's official "Sucks [More] to Be A Reginan" week. GWJ was blocked by Websense for me, too.

O noes i didn't try before i left. I hope the metatags weren't changed so it falls into a blockable site category.

I bet it's because we're linked to cats that look like hitler...

Clearly the site going down was an act of terror. Infidel.

In a way, yes. My hotness melts glaciers *and* panties.

Came to work, tried to get on GWJ... and got MySQL errors for over half an hour!

Don't do that again

EDIT: And I got an error when posting this! Though the post did go up.

Don't worry, I got the same errors as you did as well. In my profession, only I can fire myself.

Please don't make me link to your hotness.

Was the site down (again) for anyone else just now?

Yeah, it's been popping up & down since around 11 for me.

Yes, for quite a while. I almost CRIED.

I couldn't get it to come up for over 90 mins.

*sigh*

Guess I better get *Legion's* defibrilator out of the storage closet.

Since you were 11? Don't worry, that's normal.

Vic should have whatever L&L's having.

Must've been all the traffic from slashdot and podcast downloading.

Actually Rabbit's Article was posted up on the BBC Tech section.

British invasion!
