OMG, thank goodness you’re back!

If I had known, I’d have planned an activity to distract me from your absence!

There was a warning thread earlier in the week 😎 Server upgrades.

Yeah, I never saw this post:

dsio dsio
Just to update our maintenance window is going to start February 23 1AM CST time.

I figured it out, having read that thread earlier, but I had no idea when I’d see you all again.

Whew! I guess I’m addicted.

Holy $#!+. Talk about withdrawal. A sad commentary on how much time I spend here. 😁

I, too, missed the update notice. Vacuumed the house and cleaned my bathroom. Sure, the wife is pleased, yet I’d much prefer to be on OF.

Thanks for the upgrades OF @dsio....thought it was my IP (Optus) playing up :>
Well Optus sucks anyway as do most Australian ISPs so feel free to call them up and complain regardless!

Guys, relax - it’s amazing the things you will notice around the house when OF goes off line to deploy new upgrades..

I killed time by scanning eBay for Omegas 🤦
Glad to know I wasn’t alone. Craigslist, Kijiji, local estate jewellers, random sites...just not the same.

At first I went into panic, an alternate universe? Terrorist attack? Then I recalled it was Saturday and a that there was a notice a while back...I actually read last weeks Economist, Two days worth of Tribunes, hit the gym and got all my expense reports done. Now sadly my productivity is about to .......::facepalm1:: crash ....

Thank goodness we have a local group here I could chat with... two incomings in 24 hours, and I needed somebody to show them off to... 😁

It's so nice to know that OF does these upgrades in order to preserve our beauties for now until eternity... 😲...

Thanks, OF and MODS!!

@dsio true that, at least their 4G beats TPG's ADSL2+ speeds 🙄

@alam speaking of things learnt while OF was down, insights into watches from 1995:

I just drank to pass the time until it was back up and running. It took me 5 minutes to type this correctly. Thank you for all you do admins!

Didn’t wear a watch in protest, used my phone to tell the time. ( that sucks! )

Put a new strap on to mark the reboot occurring.
