Default Re: PBW Server is down - and back up again

At times I joke around a lot, but this time, I do have something serious to say.

The first time PBW was down, I wrote the "Chicken Little" thing with the sky falling down, thinking it was very funny.

I know now that it was a way of releasing my own tension.

But in doing so, maybe, inadvertently, I transfered some of it to George.

Sometimes, I don't think we recognize or appreciate the service George is doing.

George, I want you to know that I really appreciate your efforts and the consideration you have shown us.

After the sacrifice, the orks shamans salvage the worst part of the body (the brain) and let it rot so that if Geo comes by, he'll be given a meal worthy of his courage.

Thanks Tbontob. And while I did do the work, I cannot take all the credit. Everyone of you that donated to PBW have a share in this cause without you we could not have afforded to get the parts.

And a particular thanks to GozGuy and Cirvol for answering lots of stupid questions. Although I work in computer support, all of my work is very application specific so I don't know much more than the average user about windows, and the Last time I cracked open a pc case is was a 386.

Unknown_Enemy. Thanks, and uh... yumm?

WOOHOO!!! PBW is back up and running like there was never a problem. I can feel the hackles on the back of my neck going down as the worst of my withdrawal symptoms begin to subside!!

Thanks to Cirvol and Gozguy for really helping Geo get this going again.

And, of course, a huge "YOU DA MAN!!" thank you to Geo for running this thing at all...never mind through these major breakdowns.

Now back to the game!

Great job on getting it back up and running again... one odd thing, though. It seems to be 12 hours off--AM/PM are reversed.

Can you change it without throwing off the 24-hour cycle of current games? Or will games scheduled to calc within the next 12 hours get cranked when you move the clock ahead?
