askme showing June 27th 2005 for me! Mefi down too!

posted by typewriter 20 August | 17:39

yeah they upgrade the CF server and it's taking a bit to reboot. There was some sexah 404 page all ready to go but apparently the way the server wakes up from sleeping isn't condusive to having a message up. Hopefully this will fix the up and down time we've been having today, but I wouldn't bet money on it.

And the green has reverted to June 2005. Really.

What's MetaChat? "The cyan?"

posted by grouse 20 August | 17:40

The whole site is fucked. Ask is showing me a page from June of 2005 with no working links on it.

Askme showing June 27th 2005 for me! Mefi down too! Oh noes!

Hey, now metachat is posting before I hit 'post'. My world is spinning, spinning, spinning. I'm going to go read the 2005 questions now.

posted by typewriter 20 August | 17:43

This must be why my post from earlier today received such a paltry number of comments. And favorites. Which don't matter at all. But make me feel better about myself.

posted by dersins 20 August | 17:43

gee I dunnow dersins, my post from earlier today got all sorts of attention....

posted by jessamyn 20 August | 17:45

Well, sure. You're a celebrity. I'm just a peon.

Also, your post was better than mine...

In other news, June 27, 2005 was quite an interesting day for askme. I missed this one the first time around.

posted by dersins 20 August | 17:47

I missed it too. I can't even click the link because the site is down but I was staring at that URL when I could peek at it.

posted by jessamyn 20 August | 17:47

Darn, it's back. I had a really clever comment all lined up, too.

posted by iconomy 20 August | 17:49

It may be back, but it's still June 27, 10:30 AM, over at AskMe.

I say post the clever comment anyway.

If you reload the link to the thread enough times, it will eventually load, as I have discovered.

Also, you posted in it:

check status.metafilter.com - Matt explains.

and it's back, more or less.

Up and down for a bit yet, it sounds like. Nice to see old JRun again.

Oooo. I just found a really great photo that has to be lolmatted. As in, like lolcat except with Matt instead of Cat.

posted by iconomy 20 August | 18:21

I was suddenly paranoid that work had blocked the site and it was an uncomfortable few minutes while I tracked down the status blog.

I do not approve!

Look at the really bad art on the wall!

One man's pony is another man pinned by a horse's ass.

Aw, why the long face?

Aw, why the long downtime?

posted by wendell 20 August | 18:47

People who want ponies aren't always so intimately acquainted with the back end.

posted by ethylene 20 August | 18:51

So funny - when I first came across this, I noticed these things in order:

bad art on wall
filthy arm on sofa
dirty knees on jeans
guy looks like matt
hey funny, it looks like matt with a pony
what is that guy looking at
there is ppp in this photo - possible pony porking

posted by iconomy 20 August | 18:55

I don't care what you people say. I've always wanted a lap pony.

posted by mudpuppie 20 August | 18:58

I am totally befuddled by that pic.

posted by desjardins 20 August | 19:01

That is some bad art.
i keep bouncing between the art and wondering why the pony's head is so big.

Now I really want to know what the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis had to do with kyrie416's decomposing friend.

Or maybe I don't. I'm not sure.

Eth, that's perfect...hee.

*is worried about what the grass stains on the knees signify, in relation to the pony*

posted by taz 21 August | 00:07

excellent "fucking pony" double-entendre.
