Maintenance work Weds Jan 31st

[Tech]

Hello all,
We are planning to take the site down for a few minutes late morning (UK morning) tomorrow, Jan 31st. We will of course keep the down time to an absolute minimum. We are replacing a server, so it's unavoidable I'm afraid.

Regards,
Tech

FFS - I just had to do some WORK as there was nothing else to do!!!

Found that time really difficult to cope with!! Felt lost! Had to do some work!!

No more site maintenance please!!

THANK GOD YOUR BACK... i've just had to do half an hours work!!!

I've now got RSI from clicking "refresh" to see if it was back!

I'll sue. I will! I will!

(Actually I sorted out DS's bookshelves and found about 10 books that we haven't read!)

I think its safe to say that we don't do much during the day cept flounce around on this site.

Does that worry anyone?

I mean it sometimes enters my head - only sometimes mind- that I should be doing some work or something...

Can your IT dept read what is on your screen by the way?

Note to self, be especially nice to IT dept

15 mins I thought you said!

I don't think I will ever leave Mn because it is the only site format I can work. All the others don' seem to work on logic and require soooo much effort to navigate around. I never had this problem with Mn even at the beginning

Jesus, man! Did you have to do that on my lunch hours?!?!?!

OO go and look at page 7 in a newsagent, just looked to see if I coud find it on Hello site but it's nto there.
lol at everyone on this thread having to do some work.

It worries me longlegs - in fact if I change jobs (which I'm planning) and they actually think I should do some work I just won't be able to cope!!

Plus - our IT department here are fantastic people... the best...

Mylittlestar - me too, I dont know how I used to cope doing my last job, it was prob because I hadn't had a child and found this bl**dy site.

Must at least make the effort to do some work and only reward myself with sneaky peeks every, say, 10 mins or so.....

As for IT - our people ROCK...!

Me no like Error 504 >>

Just joined another parenting website - all tickers and avatars - nOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Thank goodness normality has returned. >

eee, confess, I joined other site too. Don't know though, am beginning to feel like I may have found a friend on this site....

What other sites did you guys join?

we really need to practice our contingency plan more often

there were only a handful of us over at rendezvouz point BMC

netmums or something of the like, looks a bit boring tho

LONGLEGS - Your IT dept wont be able to physically see what your on, however they could see that you have been on the site (and if they really wanted to be nosey they could log in as you etc!!!)

Make sure you delete your temporary internet files and cookies - this will help!

And yes, i've thought that perhaps i should do some work but sometimes the threads are just addictive! For example - yesterdays bald fanjo thread! LOL

what BMC? Also what is the contingency plan.

I nearly had a bloody heart attack when I couldn't log onto talk here.....

Never ever again let that happen Tech

And the pirate thread that someone bumped yesterday - classic! Tried to tell my mate about it but couldn't get the words out! Still haven't stopped PMSL!!!

Nip - thanks pet, I'll try that.

Good job they cant see what I am surfing, sometimes its a little risky....
