Well, this is a great start.
My start at NanoWrimo has been sadly delayed by my usual end-of-year bout with food poisoning. It was pretty bizarre, too, it quite clearly started about a week ago, but it was extremly mild. It was actually a few days into it that I thought, 'Hmmm, though much lees painful, these just barely noticable stomach cramps keep coming and going in the usual pattern."
Naturally, in the span of about one hour last night, while I was at work, no less, things got much, much worse. I seem to be on the upswing at this point, which is nice; they deny it, but I couldn't possibly have not woken my roommates up a couple of times with all the moaning (it hurt that much,) and we won't even get into how long I was in the bathroom. All of that considered, I'd rather have "extremely painful ogod let me die ogod" food poisoning for a day than have it for four days straight like last year.
So, my first word is 'Watching,' at least for now. Let's get this party started.

Network Maintenance - Saturday, October 31, 2009 at 04:00-05:00 GMT/UTC
EDIT: If you're reading this, our maintenance is OVER! The problem was not found on our equipment, which means we'll have to work with our ISP to fix this small problem -- which also means another maintenance window in the future -- but at least we have eliminated our side.
Thank you everyone, and a special shout out to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rekoil for giving me a great suggestion AND also the opportunity to feel like I've just called in to a local radio station.
Have a great day, night or afternoon wherever you may be.

Hi everyone, sorry for the late notice but I'm going to have to do some testing on 1 of our 4 internet circuits TONIGHT; Friday night or Saturday morning depending on which time zone you're in.
Most of us shouldn't notice any impact, though there may be some slowness or lag when I switch traffic on to our other ISP circuits and then another hit when I stop the tests. If a page won't load or times out, try hitting refresh 1 or 2 times and it should load then. If it doesn't work at all... trust me, I'll be typing really really really fast to try to undo whatever I just did. Hopefully you'll have some Halloween candy (if you're in the USA and celebrate that kind of thing) nearby to take away the bitterness of a small site outage. :(
Here's the handy-dandy Website That I Always Use to get a feel for when the maintenance will start in your area. Our site traffic historically dips on Friday afternoons until Saturday morning which is why we tend to pick this time for maintenance work.
( tech details )
status.livejournal.org will, of course be updated before and after the maintenance window. Or else marta will get mad at me. :D
