FSM Down for a bit

[schnee]

The remodel of Schneeworld Corporate HQ is progressing a bit quicker and in a less-controlled manner than originally planned. Consequentially, the FSM (and all Schneeworld services) are currently unavailable, and will remain so at least through the 9/24 contest (so someone should probably fix the Boobies).

We apologize for the inconvenience.

hey, do you need temporary hosting space? I’ve got a lot to spare.

[schnee]

Thanks soosh, but alas, the FSM isn’t quite ready for redeployment, and it really is a full-on application. I’d need MySQL, Tomcat, and Java 5 or 6, and that’s just the start.

Basically, I’m not confident I could get it rehosted in time (due to its architecture more than anything else). Thanks for the offer, however.

Oh crap! If there’s anything you need, let us know…

If you need help with cables, I can certainly help:

//But, I could help you with burning stuff

About 4 weeks without any of my other responsibilities to get it re-architected / ready for universal deployment.

And then a magic wand to make my family forget that I abandoned them for 4 weeks.

Seriously, everything is cool – this is just a minor little hiccup. The FSM is on the same system that my wife gets her email – I have plenty of motivation to get it back, but can’t until the remodel gets to a steady state. S/b by Friday, if not tomorrow.

Bubblegum and bailing wire, but it’s back. May be sporadic over the next couple of days.

Huzzah!

I see we’ve found some new way to break it.

[soosh]

looks OK now

On mine, the FSM says “Neon. Details and r” in the list of contests…

[soosh]

I’ll bet your house is all tidy.

I’ll bet your house is all tidy.

hardly 🙂 Not with 8 grand kids running around periodically.

But what I find hard to believe is that I am ahead of you in the ‘most votes recently’ category. That’s inconceivable, since your stuff is usually so much better (or at least popular) than mine.

That does just feel—-broken, somehow.

Oh, that’s not new. That’s me not being able to figure out how to escape “smart quotes” in regular expressions. Major blow to my ego, minor annoyance in the FSM. I’ll get it fixed.

I’m actually considering just capturing the entire headline, but then the display gets all horked.

Nah, I’ve not been running very crowd-favorite lately.
