My god, talk about dramatics - I wasn't even that bothered about the shut down as I probably won't be able to be on tonight but that red countdown makes me feel like I'm waiting for armageddon!!!

JJ - what unnerves me is the way it says 'scheduled shutdown' at the end - isn't that what they always say in films when they turn something off and it doesn't come back on and so someone dies, or a spaceship crashes, or the world starts ending??

We just don't want anyone to be unaware of what's going on.

I hope it comes back on alright after we replace the parts. I'll get lynched otherwise by the look of it.

While writing the little messages I did think of adding that one from Aliens - you now have three minutes to reach minimum safe distance or something like that anyway.

What about people who don't log on until evening? How will they know what's happened? Can it be broadcast on local radio networks, or something?

Tech - can you log on to MSN too, to let people know when the outage is over?

What gets me is that he's enjoying it.

What's worse is that there will be no counter to restoration of service....

What parts, precisely, are you planning to replace? And has this been trialled before, or is Mumsnet a lone pioneer, lurching into the techno-sunset?

Cue Tech saying 'I'm 90 per cent sure it'll work' or 'it's a million to one chance anything will go wrong'....

Hi Blu,

I could do actually. I could certainly send an email, which would be quicker as there only unix machines in the data center and none of them have msn clients. Is there a "core" mumsnetter who i can email who can then message their msn mates? Send the email address to use to [email protected] if so.

Thanks,
Tech

Hi motherinferior,

We are replacing the disks with newer, bigger, faster ones. And adding more memory. It should be straightforward.

I might call it six million dollar mumsnet afterwards. We have the technology. We can rebuild it. Better, stronger, faster.

Tech, you have no respect for our nerves, our sanity.....do you care?

Can we have better emoticons with this new technologly, not a 'wink' that looks like a pervert, or an 'envy' who has lost her eye-brow tweezers! A few more would be nice? Can you oblige with your six million dollar technology, can we have a 'Lee Majors' emoticon ?

He said "I hope it comes back on alright".
