The phrase 'crumpled heap' comes to mind.

There is some maintenance planned on the electrical feed that serves the Halfbakery machine room tomorrow, December 29th. 2005. So the Halfbakery and/or its network connection may be down for all or part of the day. Please don't be alarmed.

Addendum: Power to the machine room was indeed lost around 0600 EST, with service restored at about 1515 EST.

       if you're reading this, we're back up.
mab, Dec 29 2005
  

       we are too - thanks electrical people (and for the advance notice [mab].

       Well I am alarmed. Anyone who's lived through the crash of 2004 can't experience a day like this without feeling a hullaballoon in their throat.   

       But thanks mab :)

       you think we can't go a day without hb?   

       you're right. well done mab and jutta et al
po, Dec 29 2005
  

       Wow, it's been more than a year since the great crash of ought four (that's what I'll call it when I tell my grandchildren about the early years of the prototypical world government). I still shudder when I remember it. Kinda sad really.

       Damn I wish I'd seen this yesterday, I was alarmed!

       Im glad it's back up!

       Me too. I was far too productive today.

       What, you didn't just click refresh over and over?
Worldgineer, Dec 30 2005
  

       I wore out a mouse doing just that. Thanks be to Jutta, Mab, and anybody else providing 'bakery support.
normzone, Dec 30 2005
  

       Nah, I have a script do it for me.
Shz, Dec 30 2005
  

       Heh. I wrote a script like that once, refreshing the HB page every minute to make sure I don't miss any new annos. I offered it up to any of the 'bakers that might want it, until [jutta] sent a polite e-mail pointing out the extra load on the servers if too many people started using it.
Worldgineer, Dec 30 2005
  

       Hell, I think I read that script (link).
normzone, Dec 30 2005
  

       Who are you, [mab]? You were one of the first 'bakers, but I haven't seen much of you at all. Yours is the first remaining non-jutta idea on the 'bakery.   

       Thanks for the warning.

       He da man.
bristolz, Dec 30 2005
  

       Offensive Pun!   

       Man, this idea sucks!   

       There's no innovative step at all! It's a rubbish plan.   

       What kind of idea is this?   

       [mfd] rant, etc...   

       I've allways wanted to do that! - Happy New Year Bakers
