Yeah, but if people have never seen Angel at all, they are. Perhaps we don't care

I think we can't care about people who haven't watched a show that's been on for four or seven seasons. We'd end up in white font forever.

eta...

sorry arby - I didn't see your last post before I submitted mine. Consider the dead horse unbeaten by me.

People in the UK who don't have cable/ satellite are only up to dead things . But fuck them - they're just not trying...

All my Buffistas are belong to *crash*.

I got a couple of SQL errors, which I assume are logged, and an "unable to connect to socket" just now.

The connectivity to the database server disappeared for a minute or so.

Wow, the site went down for about .5 hour. But I guess you knew that.

I think it was a network problem (not the site itself), since I couldn't access Shriftweb either, and traceroute to both sites was getting stuck around the same place. Are both sites hosted in the same provider?

Yes, they are.

Trouble getting in about 7am-ish -- I was onto other sites, so it wasn't my connection....

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?

I've gotten quite a few of these over the last few days, but always at times I couldn't stay to wait 'til I could get back onto the board. This time I could, and the wait was only momentary.

P.S. I love the text in the fatal error message.

Intermittent failures due to denial-of-service attacks, apparently.
