Ahhhh, that explains the disturbance in the Force.

It was a boring lunchtime today.

Half my coffee time was spoiled when FR suddenly went off the air. I really hate relying on Drudge and reading the comments sections of the articles he links to.

Still, this wasn't a bad one, as far as FR outages go.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Same with me.

[trisham]

I hear you. I tried to keep busy to shield my mind from the pain.

...thought it was some of the falling space doo-doo....

I didn’t know FR was down, until I tried to get back on this PM. Been working outside in the yard in 100 degree heat most of the day.

[rightly_dividing]

Yard work? In 100 deg? Gee, you need to rehydrate and get some FR in ya!

[y6162]

I work in a supposedly high availability environment where outages are supposed to be impossible yet they happen nonetheless. Our client pays through the nose.

Ya can’t have a 100% availability in an environment that continuously changes.

FR is generally available. I don’t know if they engineer for it I’m just curious.

Now look, no offense, but I think that’s just an inadequate explanation.

I know Laz.

And when he ‘hits it’

it causes a LOT MORE

than a ‘ripple’

in the space time continuum.

. . . it’s more like . . . the 1812 Overture; 4th of July and Hallelujah chorus all in one.

Goodness.

I wouldn’t have bothered . . . but he does have a reputation to keep up.

What are “the alternative FR sites”?

[Arrowhead1952]

I pulled up old plants in the garden to get ready for the fall garden. Wife and I also gave our sheep dog a buzz and bath.

[Arrowhead1952]

Here is one alternative site.

You wanna see something what will make you cry?

As someone who works in the elements for a living, I feel yer pain. Glad you missed the downtime on FR. It was more painful than enduring 100 degree weather .. LOL

[Arrowhead1952]

It was more painful than enduring 100 degree weather ..

I hear you. There have been times I tried to get on and nothing. That is hard to deal with for hours on end.

Many thanks.....both bookmarked for emergencies.
