    I second that, and wish you all the best on moving PC to a reliable ISP with RELIABLE servers. My grandmother always warned me about the innate perversity of inanimate objects... And she never saw a computer!

    Glad Danny got things worked out. I was beginning to curse at my laptop, :lol: . I have PC and HiHy set as start pages in FFox. When they wouldn't open I thought I was having wireless probs again. Gald it wasn't that. I had enough pc problems with this laptop a few months ago. No more for a while is fine with me.

    You must have been one of the first when it came back up, bigdaddy. Kinda like coming home to an empty house, huh? I saw where DocVijay and a couple others had been able to access PC and post briefly around 5:30 EST Mon. and I was able to get in this morning, but only to read a PM.


    USC SCOOORRRRRRRRES again.

    Oops, scuse me. :unsure: 31-23, USC

    The moon moving away from the earth another inch or so caused a gravitational pulse, and it knocked out the PriusChat server.

    Actually was a cascading problem with a bunch of internet servers due to the "leap-second" on Sunday....

    Ha, I wouldn't doubt it. Not too sure what the problem ended up being, but somehow things went down, I was on vacation in Miami (how 'bout that Orange Bowl???), and was unable to get things back up working with my brother via telephone. So, things sat until I got home last night and I was able to get everything back up within about an hour or so last night.

    Sorry for the downtime... I tried working on it when I got back to the hotel in Miami at 3am Tuesday night after the game, but decided that since we had to drive back at 7am that I would try to get some sleep.

    I hope everyone had a nice PC holiday :) Sometimes you just need a break from the site, right?? :)

    No more than 20-30 minutes, at the most. :D Gotta take the occasional break from PC at the office to get this minor interruption called 'work' done every now and again. LOL...

    Really? Just speculating, or a fact?

    No fair sporting the halt and the lame. :blink: Especially on the part of Mods, who have their own peculiar vulnerabilities. :p

    Alright, Jack. Sorry about that but it was just so hard to resist. I decided to not even try. :)

    Seriously though, they really did have a "Leap Second". You can Google it or read about it on Wikipedia.
