What we did while the forum was down

Attalus · 11-09-2002, 04:43 PM

I was trying to post when the forum went down about 2 hours ago. So, I asked Galadria, what should we do? Well, it being a beautiful Fall day and unseasonably warm, we put the top down on her Miata, and, leaving Piestrider in charge, sallied forth. Man! The sun was shining, the trees showing beautiful reds and golds, only the occasional fluffy cloud drifting across the East Texas sky as we drove over hill and dale (we do have them in East Texas [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) along winding country roads, blowing Galadria's hair to flinders. It was a huge amount of fun. Just thought I'd share.

I just posted in Cloudy's when it went down. I went to DM realms where i met Sir G, so i found out it wasn't just me. After that i played some Morrowind and had a few beers, nothing unusual.

That totally screws up the webserver and puts unnecessary load on the server like a mini buffer overflow or DOS attack, so dont refresh that much, ok [img]smile.gif[/img] Thanks.

LOL, a common misconception. Today it never got over 78 degrees F (about 22 C) and was beeeyoutiful. It nearly froze last weekend.
