Outage
-
Having been busy with a little thing called my life, I hadn't even noticed that the site had been down. So when I refreshed and saw 'Outage' from Chris Maunder, I quite naturally thought that at last the hamster, third wheel from the left, had finally come out of the closet. So in the hope of finding an amusing/cute picture of a hamster in puce spandex, or similar, I foolishly googled on 'gay hamster' (WARNING: do not try this at home!!). I'm going for a lay down in a dark room now......

OK, so I tried it, but not an image search. I wonder why there's a gay site named 'gayhampster' ? I guess if I understood, I'd be gay ?

You clearly have experience in such matters.

I screwed up a search once, when my wife was nearby. Luckily she was not watching. I am EXTREMELY cautious about forming searches from broad to narrow carefully, one word at a time. :)

What I want to know is why most of them started AFTER I left ?

He's gotta have a hobby and if he's still flexible enough, then more power to him. I'm given to understand that it's a staple trick of his at the CP Christmas party. Why do you think there's a disproportionate amount of attractive ladies at CP?
"WPF has many lovers. It's a veritable porn star!" - Josh Smith
As Braveheart once said, "You can take our freedom but you'll never take our Hobnobs!" - Martin Hughes.
Your implication being that the ability to lick one's, erm, dingly-danglies, is somehow alluring to attractive ladies? (and, presumably, not to the more wolf-whistlingly challenged?) Personally, I've found the opposite to be the case - and let me tell you, a kick in the teeth during such an exercise can not only be disproportionally painful, but also potentially fatal, should you, inadvertently, sharply inhale . Oh, and remember never, ever use the photocopier after the CP Xmas party

Apologies for that unscheduled break in our program. We're suffering extreme heat in Toronto today (OK, extreme for Toronto, not for anywhere with half-decent weather) and apart from the roads melting, birds falling out of the sky, and Leaf's fans actually taking off their toques, we also had power outages across this first-world city of ours which caused mayhem in our Hosting centre. The backup generators kicked in then the HVAC started groaning at the seams as it sought to cope with the load and so when we saw the alerts go off we decided discretion was the better part of valour and shut down most of our servers until we were convinced things were under control and rivers of molten server would not be pouring across the server room floor. Dave braved the blistering, tyre-popping 33C and headed up to the hosting centre with large bags of ice and a small personal fan. Needless to say the guys up there looked oddly at him, and Toronto traffic being Toronto traffic, by the time Dave got up not only was everything back to normal, but the sun had also dipped noticeably in the sky and glow under the server room door was down to a dull red. With everything back to normal, the aircon puffing away quite nicely, thank you very much, we then set to turning on the servers again and a 5 minute outage turned into a much longer outage as nets, sharp sticks and cattle prods were needed to corral the various elements back into their cages. The servers are back to normal, humming away, no doubt tired and excited by their big adventure.

Come talk to me about heat when it surpasses 40c for four months straight where you live :suss:

What material are your automobile tyres made from? Here it is 44C and the tyres are doing ok at the moment.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

So we're blaming the outage on Chris licking his nuts? Fair enough!

I was being sarcastic. What else can an Aussie living in Canada be when things like this happen? ;)
