ticalc.org Helps the Earth
Posted by Magnus on 7 January 2004, 08:54 GMT
In order to help with restoring the time it takes Earth to rotate, ticalc.org was taken offline last afternoon causing the earth to briefly stop spinning. Due to timezones, the downtime had to be extended for several hours so the Earth would not tear itself apart because only certain timezones slowed down. The server was taken offline by a staff member performing a remote reboot of the server when nobody was onsite to ensure it came back up. This is something you'd of course normally never do, but we all have to make exceptions to help the greater good. "I promise to try to cut down on my remote reboots and playfullness" the staff member said, while asking to remain anonymous. The server was brought back online as soon as we got onsite. Please note that this is not directly related to the web server statistics being back online. It is also not related to the fact that we expect our news comments to be down for a short while sometime later this week when we upgrade the database server.

It is amazing how much inertia the ticalc.org program archives has! Whenever they go off-line, it disrupts the rotation of the Earth!
