“Not dead yet!”

They apparently had two crashes today. Perhaps they're still piecing things back together.

One would think, after ten years, they'd have found servers to handle the volume.

I mean, I'm on cable connection with a reasonably fast computer and that site loads soooooo slooooooooooooow

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm fatoudust. But yeah, it's seriously slow and I'm not on a fast connection, so it may be an exercise in frustration for a while.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The word count thinger isn't working yet either, huh? Not that I have more than a symbolic starting word count, but still. It is the first today, right?

“Not dead yet!”

Liese, you can do your word count under "Edit Novel Info."

The Nanowrimo site is slllooooowwwwww at the moment.

“Not dead yet!”

It's slow. Really, really freakin' slow.

You know, it's just as well the site loads so slowly-- it keeps me away from the forums because honestly, I just want to thwap the 25 year-olds in my regional forum who are calling themselves Jurassic-era relics.

Oy.

Always Anti-fascist!

Oh, yeah, because everybody should start early like Truman Capote, become a drunken, self-loathing wreck and spend the next forty years with people wondering what the fuck happened to you. Not that I'm rationalizing starting late or anything. Much. But starting early is no great guarantee.
