The site is pretty much recovered; the big three are back, Music is back (natch), and the other subsites should be along soon.

Matt's got some new hardware on the way to handle the increased load from the newly-secure (and as a result more computationally intense) queries he and pb have been putting in place.

There's a podcast on the way, too, once we can figure out how to get it up -- Matt usually does that, but the fact that he's on vacation in Hawaii would earn him some slack even without the giant clusterfuck weekend. But it'll be up soonish.

Goddam is it nice to be back. I'm glad metachat was hear to handle some of the twitching and sobbing and cursing and such during the downtime. Hugs.

That totally wasn't supposed to be a link to Jessamyn's comment.

Seems to be down again at the moment. Damn, I was just posting some good snark. It'll be lost in the void.

Cortex? Will you make a song for me? Serious - I'll even pay you cash money. I loved that song.

Please I humbly request a You Can Do It song for humble LT. A song I can put on my iPod or as a ringtone to inspire me.

Having a bullshit day and your Metafilter song was one hundred percent American Awesome.

Be well. Peace.

seriously, I'll totally pay you.

You totally jinxed it, dude. I'm hitting F5 as we speak.

Oh, and love the song, cortex. Sums it all up perfectly.

My crush on cortex knows no bounds.

Back off scody. Oh wait.

hahahahahaha!

I was busy, did something happen?

That totally wasn't supposed to be a link to Jessamyn's comment.
Fixed that for you.

Also LOL.

That's a perfect song for the situation. Love it - now, just need to put it in a place where it's accessible when F5 doesn't bring the site back up....
