Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Was there a problem [eta: I see there was]? The Plesk vendor was working on the system, since the upgrades have frelled stuff behind the scenes.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The board was down earlier this morning (at least between 2-4am or so board time).

Everything seemed to be fine, except the web server wasn't running. No problems with Plesk. I don't know if they fixed the problem and just didn't restart the server, or if there's still a problem I don't know about.

BTW, I don't have command-line root access any more.

They temporarily changed the password to let SWSoft in to poke around. Stuff was well and truly jacked up back there, yet somehow we were (mostly) running.

I've instructed them to add you to the ongoing fixit convo, Tom, since I will be out of pocket from this evening. As things stand, it looks like the Plesk upgrade is still partial. Webmail's still down, but it is down in English now.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hah, I was just going to mention that.

Now I can't get the phrase t cue cheesy German accent "Ve haff freed ourselves from ze Bedouin yoke." out of my head. Lord knows why that even needed an accent.

Especially since it switched from cheesy German to cheesy French midway through...

It's a whole WW2 mishmash in my head. Of course, now I'm going to obsess on how you transliterate the cheesy German "the."

Oy. I should have breakfast.

You can't go wrong with "das" in cheesy German transliteration, even though Bedouins would probably be more than a little upset at being neutered.
