Downtime possible today
Just wanted to alert everyone to the possibility of site downtime at some point later today. We will be moving servers around and our server will most likely be shut down for some length of time. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Nah, I like downtime, especially on DS.com because it hardly ever happens. Its the same reason I like power outages, because the electricity supply is very stable where I live.

I know exactly what you mean. I enjoy power outages for the same reason.

"Wow the lights are flickering. Wow the lights are off. Hey! I just lost what I was doing on FL! Actually it doesn't matter, it was crap anyway. No what do I do? It's all dark! Well the phone still works. I'll have to listen to the speaking clock."

iPhone, sir. Even though I haven't had a power outage in the time I've had my iPhone, I still imagine it will come in quite handy if one occurs. 
Also, the fact that my MacBook Pro has a battery (and one with a good life at that) may also be helpful. 
In other news, there was no downtime today. The servers weren't ready to be moved, so we'll be experiencing downtime some other time when they are ready to be moved.

Danny's dad put wheels on the server racks and they've been having races around the datacenter.

That sounds awesome. My server's the only 1U one in the rack so I'll win due to aerodynamics.

Paint it red and you'll be unstoppable. Except by walls.

Yeah but I can't exactly use an iPod touch or an iPhone on the internet if every Wi-Fi router within a 4 mile radius has no power, and if its a really bad power cut, every mobile phone mast.

I took the photo that made my website banner during a powercut. Thinks you do in those rare instances where you have a new camera, now power, and some strange source of light, along with....nvm.

rofl, Jez, your banner never shows up on your website for me, Safari just tries to download it, gets about 1/8th of the way down and gives up and plonks a blue [?] in my face.
Thinks I do when I have now power.

Lol, I feel honoured to have my site in a tab next to one that I guess reads "David Tennant".
