06 June 2005

Timing out, JRunning, internal server erroring, the moon in June and sleep till noon. Spend my evenings in the Van Gogh museum.

What a dream, Van Gogh museum.

waaaah! A long reply to bugbread on the MeTaPervert thread and Splat! DNS error...

Ugh. Now I gotta go outside for a couple of hours. BB rest assured, the answer is on the way. But first I gotta go get my new bowling ball drilled and fitted.

Smokey, this isn't Nam. This is bowling. There are rules. -- Walter

Tip for the Day:

Before you hit the 'preview comment' button at MF, AskMe, or MeTa, highlight your comment and copy it. It will save you much aggravation.

Man, and I was just finished typing in my Great American Novel (225 pages), featuring a near-past pre-apocalyptic cyberhomeless world, sweeping human drama, and a mind-blowing finale that will have you riding on top of trains, instead of inside them, for almost a week, when JRun ate it. I guess I should have copied the text before I hit post...

Hi, this site is all about quonsars, REAL QUONSARS. This site is awesome. My name is iconomy and I can't stop thinking about quonsars. Quonsars are cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet.

Facts:

1.Quonsars are mammals.

2.Quonsars fight ALL the time.

3.The purpose of the quonsar is to flip out and kill people.
posted by iconomy 06 June | 14:38
I heard that there was this quonsar once who was eating in a diner and some dude dropped a spoon and the quonsar flipped out and JRunned the whole town!

Good for you, amber. Too bad that this has obscured the stadium they're using to screw my borough (and the neighborhood I'd live in if I could afford it). But one down is nice.

lol!

That's actually partially why Sheldon Silver voted no today on the stadium--downtown is his district, and the Governor's been giving tax breaks and incentives to rebuild my neighborhood, and not downtown.

The server outages are playing havoc with my Master Plan to post the Most Eagerly Anticipated MetaTalk Thread of All Time.

I'm currently living in fear that when I'm next able to get on the site, I'll find that quonsar has posted three consecutive "Hey! I just noticed that this feature isn't working, either!" threads and my one chance for posterity will be gone forever. Or, worse, that naxosaxur will have scored the big number with an obscenity-laced "I'm leaving all you perverts! Kiss my ass!!!" thread.

Please contact the server administrator, admin@metafilter.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Oh, I bet he'd love to see a jillion emails on that subject.

If q is going to quit, then Matt might as well pull the plug.

Not that things would be different if he did. The uptime would be about the same.

The Ratner thing is what I was talking about, amber. I have emailed, but things in Brooklyn are tough these days--between the stadium and the proposed, uh, development in Williamsburg. It's hard to fight all the bastards at once, especially since the West Side stadium gets all the media.
