The thing that I can't determine is, when they say 00:00 on the 30th, I think they're talking about tonight, since at the stroke of midnight (PST) it will be the 30th ... I suppose i'll find out tonight

Whoops on the eastern, my bad.

And Rayea: not my keyboard or my hamster, i'm a total neat-freak
I simply did a google search for "Computer powered by hamsters" and that's what came up ... I was trying to get a picture of one running in a wheel *inside* a computer, but settled for the keyboard.

Heh. Kidding again. The times I posted are GMT which means they are always expressed in 24h format. That would be [a few seconds pass while he calculates with his brows creased] 8-12AM for those in Greenwich but since you don't seem to live there, most probably you will need to calculate the time for yourself, considering your time zone. Edit: Checked your profile. It is 10AM-2PM for you. |
Diablo???
LOL@ Iowerth, No wonder Blizzard didn't allow me into their facility when I brought my cat.... many Blizzard employees was saved that day.

So, who's your favorite storage hardware vendor? EMC? IBM Fast-T's? Network Appliance? What about storage array management? Veritas? Sun? Database: Oracle, UDB, SQL, Informix? Any E15k's onsite? Inquiring minds want to know! j/k, the less we know, the better

And I, like a previous poster, get home from work at 12am pst. I usually relax with some good ole GW before catching some ZZZZzzzzs. Oh well, I can watch that movie with that big monkey in it that I bought on Tues.
Anet also gets props from me for all their server uppityness.

I say GG after every Game...am I really saying Gaile Gray ?
12 hours downtime in one year is brilliant, well done to Anet!
I liked the 'in order to prevent a catastrophic failure' line...meaning 'if this PC goes Pffft everything is dead?
