How I Spent My Server Downtime*

[livius drusus]

I suspect I'll be reading about the French Revolution, although I do feel a hankering for a Blackadder marathon coming on. How about y'all?




*assuming it goes down at all, mind you, which isn't fer sure although it is very likely.

[SharonDee]

It has to go down. It has to! How else will I find my housecleaning motivation! :worry:

[livius drusus]

I could berate you in a really guilt-inducing, motherly tone, if you think that would help.

[SharonDee]

Mom? Is that you? I think you should order me to put away the clean laundry. And don't forget to make me put the books back on the shelves.

[livius drusus]

Young lady, are you going to leave that clean laundry out until it's dirty again? Put it away, for the love of Pete. And don't forget to put the books back on the shelves, while you're at it. I could trip over them and break a hip and then you'd be sorry.

[SharonDee]

Yes'm!
:caught:

[livius drusus]

:qex:
:burns:

[TomJoe]

Work on my manuscript and listen to the two new albums I just purchased.

[livius drusus]

Manuscript? What is this manuscript you speak of?

[TomJoe]

Manuscript? What is this manuscript you speak of?

The first paper I'm trying to get published out of my new job. We need two publications a year. It's on Listeria monocytogenes.

[livius drusus]

Oooh... I thought it was a novel or memoir or something. Still, Listeria monocytogenes sounds good too. Sorta.

[TomJoe]

Oooh... I thought it was a novel or memoir or something. Still, Listeria monocytogenes sounds good too. Sorta.

Nah. Don't have time for anything like that. I'm not a big fan of technical writing as it is ... I just do it because I have to. I'd rather sit the lab and come up with some exciting new experiments or come up with new application to answer some scientific question.

[Legs]

I'm going to use the time to mediate and find myself :peace3:

[livius drusus]

Oh, I don't think the server will be down that long.

[Legs]

Well at the very least, I will learn to spell meditate.

[livius drusus]

Goal achieved. :mvp:

[Legs]

:wriggle: it's the small things in life that make me happy

(like diamonds)

[livius drusus]

I hear a kiss on the hand may be quite continental, though. :giggle:

[MonCapitan2002]

It's not down! :bliss:

[SharonDee]

Dammit! :grumpy:

[MonCapitan2002]

Young lady, are you going to leave that clean laundry out until it's dirty again? Put it away, for the love of Pete. And don't forget to put the books back on the shelves, while you're at it. I could trip over them and break a hip and then you'd be sorry.
Don't yell at SharonDee! That is mean! :fuming:

[SharonDee]

Mean, maybe. Necessary? Oh, yes!

If I only had self-control ...

[livius drusus]

I was just doing what I was told, man.

[MonCapitan2002]

Goal achieved. :mvp:
That smilie has an ass crack. :giggles:

[MonCapitan2002]

Mean, maybe. Necessary? Oh, yes!

If I only had self-control ...
While it may have been "necessary" she could have commanded you more nicely.

[viscousmemories]

With condolences to SharonDee, it appears that there won't be any downtime.

[MonCapitan2002]

Yay! No downtimes! No downtime! :yahoo:

[livius drusus]

You should still put up the laundry though, Sharon, seriously. :sadnod:

[cappuccino]

I'll be practicing Italian probably. I like to put in some time everyday doing Italian. I'll be getting started on Un Italiano in America, it's supposed to be very humorous. :smile:

Send out more job applications and feel like a piece of shit cuz it's been a month now and I haven't heard anything.

[cappuccino]

Oh there won't be any downtime afterall?

[Carnivale Ed]

If there had been downtime, I would have been busy being adopted by several lesbians. I think Ed now has five mummys.

[livius drusus]

Oh there won't be any downtime afterall?

Seems so, yessir. :bgirl:

I think Ed now has five mummys.

:wmummy: :mummy: :wmummy: :mummy: :wmummy:

[livius drusus]

Hmm... I just got a little document contains no data error. Probably a coincidence. :shiftier:

[Leesifer]

I just got a "couldn't find server" page. But it came back on a refresh.

Also, I have spend the day pottering. While sorting out on of our many drawers full of paperwork, I came across £30 of garden vouchers that I'd obviously forgotten about. So, tomorrow I'll go and buy some bedding plants to bring on for spring.

:wriggle:

[livius drusus]

No fair! I want to find random money while cleaning! :hissyfit: What plants are you going to get?

[Leesifer]

There, there liv. :pat:

I don't know yet. I was going to go to Homebase which does all things for the house and has a garden section. I definitely want some pansies and some osteospermums:

[MonCapitan2002]

Hmm... I just got a little document contains no data error. Probably a coincidence. :shiftier:
I hope so. It looks like things are fine now.

[SharonDee]

I pretended that the downtime happened, then I shutdown my computer and went straight to work. I have such a clean house now! :wriggle:

[Crumb]

Ah the power of the imagination. So you want to come and do mine now?

[MonCapitan2002]

Congratulations. Now you can spend the rest of your day here if you wish. :wriggle:

[Crumb]

Is it just me or is this a busy Saturday?

[Leesifer]

It's a bit like the Crumb and MonCap show at the moment. :D

[Crumb]

:giggles:

[Joshua Adams]

I probably would have just slept straight through it. Nevertheless, hopefully I'll be able to tear myself away and do some homework today.

[MonCapitan2002]

Is it just me or is this a busy Saturday?
It has certainly been a bust Saturday. There has been a flurry of posting activity today.

[MonCapitan2002]

It's a bit like the Crumb and MonCap show at the moment. :D
It has indeed.

[Crumb]

It is not a good statistician that mucks about with his own data.

[MonCapitan2002]

How am I mucking with my data? I am posting just like the rest of you. I lack the capabilities to muck with my data. The only way for me to do so would be to have admin access to the boards. Since I do not, I cannot muck with the data.

[Crumb]

:dunno:

[MonCapitan2002]

Precisely. I don't know I could muck around with the data. I don't have access to the database, so that isn't possible. Besides, liv has access to the ability to get a day by day post count break down. Any data that does not conform to hers would be easily spotted.

[pescifish]

Well at the very least, I will learn to spell meditate.Darn it, I had some stuff that needed mediation.

Come to think of it, I even have some socks that could use darning.

[Legs]

It ended up that I spent the time shopping with the sock

:shopping: :cart:

[MonCapitan2002]

Cool. So what did you get for the sock?

[livius drusus]

A new username and avatar (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/member.php?u=447). :)

[Legs]

She got her hair cut for starters... then some new jeans & shirts and a new bathing suit for swimming during March Break :yup:

oh yeah, and a new username & avatar :vibes:

[MonCapitan2002]

Ahh. Cool.

[pescifish]

Oh my! :gallop: Her new avatar is very stylin'!

[Legs]

She scoured the net for it this afternoon! :giggle:

[livius drusus]

I think it looks like the horse is actually saying her custom title. :giggles:

[MonCapitan2002]

I just realised it is animated.

[Legs]

I think it looks like the horse is actually saying her custom title. :giggles:
