Well, not quite, but almost.

AW will be down for a couple of hours tomorrow (Sunday) starting at 9:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. A few tweaks here and there will be performed on the system, and during that time, the site will not be accessible.

So don't say I didn't warn ya and then start fifty threads tomorrow wondering what happened. :)

I don't know about you, but I'll be sleeping through it!

Where will I, for those precious hours, display my angst? My rapier wit? My love of fellow writing man? Oh, the pain of it! Someone pass me a cold adult beverage! I don't know if I can take this ...
Well, I guess I could write some ...

Thanks for the heads up. Will save me from having to buy a new monitor. (Amazing how they don't stand up to abuse like they use to.)

So you don't think my thread title is catchy, eh? Made you look, didn't it? ;)

Come to think of it, it does sound corny, which must be why at this point, more than half the viewers have responded!

What are you all complainin' about? I'll have to be awake and caffeinated by 6 am my time.

It would be a kindness if y'all could just refrain from checking "just in case" to see if AW is back.

It slows down the utility scripts we'll be running, and is generally a PITA when we're working.

If you're the type to really really be jonesing, then drop me a PM and I'll PM you when we sound the all clear.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that Lisa is doing all of the work tomorrow so that we may continue to enjoy the quality service we've come to expect here at AW.

(Sorry, Lisa. Your efforts should've been mentioned earlier.)

Actually, Scott (shawkins) is doing the heavy lifting on this one. He has way more geekitude and a thing for shell scripts . . .

But... but... how do we get the PM if...

Can't you just send all 20,000+ of us an email? :D

Well, yeah, I could . . . but it's awfully close to spam.

I will, I think, advertise the AW Water Cooler Alert system though, in case others want to be added to the email list.

AW. A very nice place!
Charlie Chaplin film marathon on TCM, today.
Will be taping Modern Times, tonight, for sure.
So I'll have that to watch during tomorrow's outage.
