Scheduled forum downtime Fri. 19 July 2019 at DVinfo.net

Chris Hurd · July 19th, 2019, 12:22 PM

Howdy from Texas,

The forum will be down for just a few minutes today (8:30pm GMT / 3:30pm EDT / 2:30pm CDT / 12:30pm PDT) today, Friday 19 July 2019) while we run the vacuum cleaner in that pesky tough-to-reach spot, one know, the one behind the server where all the dust bunnies congregate.

"It shouldn't take long," he said, hoping they weren't famous last words. It's a Friday thing.

Back at ya soon though. 15 or 20 minutes past the half-hour, maybe.

"Dr. Chandra taught me to sing a song. Would you like to hear it?

It's called Daisy."

Chris Hurd · July 19th, 2019, 01:16 PM

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do.

I'm half crazy, all for the love of you.

It won't be a stylish marriage,

I can't afford

a carriage,

But you'll

look

Chris Hurd · July 19th, 2019, 01:35 PM

Aaand we're back. Well, that didn't take long. Or hurt much.

Andrew Smith · July 20th, 2019, 07:39 AM

It must be a very special song.

Andrew

Chris Hurd · July 20th, 2019, 07:58 AM

As a cat owner, I certainly like your meme! But I was hoping the reference would have been universally understood.

It's a special song because it's the first one the system ever learned... I guess it came back just for the shut-down.

I might get banned for this but your post brought to mind the old one about a couple on a tandem cycling through a country village when a dog ran out and threw a bucket of water over them.

Hmm... nobody enjoys Kubrick anymore, I guess.

Pete Bauer · July 20th, 2019, 04:52 PM

I do, I do!!!! 2001 is still far and away my fave space movie.

Andrew Smith · July 21st, 2019, 02:57 AM

Given the unexpected extra time the 'maintenance' took, there must have been some sort of struggle.

Chris Hurd · July 21st, 2019, 06:47 AM

Open the pod bay doors please, Hal.

Hal? Hal! Open the pod bay doors, Hal!

Fine, I'll come in through the airlock.

Damn, where's my space helmet?

---------------------------------------------

You perceived there was extra time, Andrew? I thought it took less than 30 minutes.

Andrew Smith · July 21st, 2019, 08:09 AM

Chris: "The forum will be down for just a few minutes today ..."
HAL / Webserver: "Hold my beer ..."

Wel it's playing right now on Turner Classic Movies, Pete... but I imagine you probably own it on Blu-Ray and can watch it whenever you want.

I never get tired of it myself.
