Planned site outage: THURSDAY MARCH 6 around 8am

[RowanMumsnet]

Hello folks

Just wanted to let you know that Tech is planning some unusually protracted fiddling on THURSDAY MORNING, which will result in the site being out of action for about 15 minutes around 8am GMT.

Whatever you do, don't talk to your spouses. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Uhh, OK. But this means (main)Tech will be doing this at 3am his time? Or is it a UK Tech doing it?

It'll be our lovely in-office techs. We keep them tethered in the NW5 region.

Isn't that rather painful?

Soooo .... you have a 'Tech Shed' in NW5 too?

Ah well, I'll have to go and have my shower at 8am, instead of 9am?

Glad you're not getting pore-ole-Tech to work at 3am his time!

Okay. I'll stay in bed then.

It won't affect me because I gave up MN for lent.

Arf

poor, poor techs

I read that as 'Outrage'.

Can I add how impressed I am that nobody has made a crude remark about tech's protracted fiddling.

look at you. all grown up. [proud]

What effect will the fiddling have. maybe it's the [kitten] emoticon? or the flushing out of trolls?

Just a thought, Rowan, but why don't you schedule a - say - weekly slot for Tech to use for maintenance? That way, people would know what was coming and Tech would be able to plan.

Noooo - I MN in Pret every morning between 8am and 8.30 before I go into work. I'll need to read a book!

Does anyone remember when there was a 'daily fiddling time' between about 3 - 3.15 am (UK) time? Not that it ever made any difference to me, as I'm usually snoring then!

Hmmm a [kitten] emoticon sounds really good. Maybe we'll sneak that in next time.

Fiddling is all done now.

Oh. I missed the fiddling. school run and sorting out washing.'Daily fiddling time' sounds all kinds of wrong Fru.

Yep. I didn't even notice it as too busy doing things. Sounds like a good time of day - although it would be too early to fiddle for me personally.

I misread that initially as 'outrage' also. I guess we've been on MN too long?

Actually if you could plan your collective outrage and let us know so that we can go on holiday pencil it in that would be awfully helpful
