Sorry all and thanks to all who paged... Long-ass fucking day with power outages sprinkled throughout the office. Then when we finally get our power back, all the servers were attached to a single outlet in the office that worked. Of course that outlet was attached to a light switch and the last person to leave accidentially shut down all the servers when he turned off the lights. Since I was at a customer until 7:45 I couldn't get back until now to fix. Then the database was corrupt, etc...
I need food...
Did you get my text? If so, I like to believe that I helped save Dee-Nee.

I thought vegans couldn't eat real food?
Thank goodness the Saint was able to loosen the noose.
I thought my computer had been sabotaged.
our lives had become desolate and worthless......3 cheers for gantry!
glad i didnt have any bullets laying around.
Don't ever do that to me again. I will fucking kill you. I hate when Gantry stops the internets.
I hate the power in this office, too much ill shit going on. I think I need to buy a better UPS, this one has about 5 minutes of battery life...
So gantry stopped the internets for what i am assuming was hours. There is still one guest viewing the topic titty fucking. I wonder is the thread that good i think he/she has been viewing this thread for days.
I don't like staring at the screen waiting for dee-nee to appear
It was amazing that 5 people were online within a minute after being up...
This can never happen again, or I am grabbing a rifle and finding a clocktower.

I find it interesting that such a high tech comany (Gantry, at least) gets screwed by an accidental light switch flip so often. Gantry rules.
Light switches are very deceiving, if you turn them off power sometimes goes away. It's time to get an electrician in here and get rid of the stupid fkn outlets that are tied to the light switch...

i had been reloaded once every few minutes for about an hour. then when i got the message about a database error (or something) i was reloaded like three times per minute, knowing that the return would be soon....
That is so funny. I kept clsing the internet window and then reopening it. I think i did this ten times in a row until i called TBT and confirmed he was not able to get access either. The 12th time worked i was so happy i did not lose you guys forever.
moses: hey brad
tbt: hey... i have some baby carrots lying around...
moses: yeah, umm...... i'll have to pass this time. see, i was more interested in dee-nee.
tbt (abruptly): oh, yeah, of course... it's shut down here, too.
moses: oh, thank heavens, i thought one of the girls broke my internets again
tbt: nah, someone at gantry's probably just turned off the celing fan.
I'm going home and can safely turn off the lights now without repercussions. Thanks for all the patience guys, a new UPS will be installed shortly. Dee-Nee and the parts needed to get it online (switch, router, CSU/DSU etc) should be able to handle 30 minutes of no power. Right now the network hardware can while the $30 powerstrip/UPS combo gives me about 5 on the server itself. Unacceptable...
was this happening yesterday around 12pm pacific time? i was having trouble getting into dee-nee a few times yesterday, but it was a lot earlier than these other messages above. you didn't by any chance block my ip did you?

I kinda want to see what's it like to be band. Like a dee nee Flatliners. Go the land of the band and then come back. DO IT!
I am curious too. when you attempt to access the forum do you get an angry RBI guy waving his finger at you saying we hate you do not come back?
I'm serious. Gantry or nightwulf, I want you to ban me for a half hour or something. Lemme know when it'll happen. I need to go the dark side.
I think you should do something that is ban-worthy first. We can't just start handing out bans like they are candy.
