No Server Outage - 2008-10-08 (touche salesman, touche)

Due to power related issues, the server will likely be down for up to a few hours any time from now (1030 ST) until around 1400 ST.

Apparently there's also a chance it won't. Go figure.

Who do you think you are? If you'd stopped winning, you could have been the Biggest Loser, if you gave up, you could have been a Survivor, if you'd stopped reading Orwell, you could have been on Big Brother!

I hate jokes about German sausages. They're the wurst.

I totally misread it as "server outrage" and expected to see a bunch of swear words and colorful insults thrown around like so much jovial banter.

Needless to say, I was disappointed.

Hmm... you guys always suspected I was living in the past.

Gotta get used to this whole "it's now October thing".

@Phil
The server doesn't get outraged very often, even if I set its date incorrectly >.<

But I should really create a ServerOutrageException and call that whenever something goes wrong:
ERROR: ServerOutrageException
Fucking php is broken you cockspank bitchmother! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
(but clearly not unexceptable. badum-tish!)

Same man....disappointed.

@ cart I feel dirty that I laughed at that :\
Once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Well I guess that was a no-show.

No, wait, I meant

"I am awesome".

So awesome that I don't have time to link that image of the fourth doctor.

Just imagine I did.
