I've been so bored this morning that I actually did some work.

The RSS feed is still fine O_o (if somewhat useless)

Thank god it isn't more serious - imagine a beowulf cluster failing.

The % accuracy of spelling on the web has increased 4% today...

Think of the 'First Post' opportunities when they come back up.

<ducks>

1) Maybe Natalie Portman poured some hot grits on their beowulf cluster and they're now naked and petrified.

2) ???

3) Profit!

WORK? Who can work when we don't know what happened to Slashdot?????

Anyone got a mirror for ttf2pt1?

Still found time to visit El Reg though, so you can't have done *that* much work...

...like me...

I'll have to make my moronic, reactionary, ill educated comments here instead. Oh, wait... ;)

30/04/2008 is most productive day in IT this year.

Thank God El Reg is still up.

Did you know that if your boss googled ( or other ) your name, assuming that it's your real name, he/she would then find out what you have been upto.

Just a thought.

Imagine all that unvented spleen being bottled up by the unwashed geek masses, I'd start hiding the shotgun cartridges now!

I'm betting the system went down just as their story "Botnetters named and shamed" was about to be published.

GTA IV marathon session all last night, and the Bawls supply has run out.

Server Ninja downtime.

Mod 5+ (Funny)

what did someone forget pay the bill?

its working now

used Windows?

</eom>

/. is back up atm (14:13 BST) but running a bit slow.

So, A.C., is that a good thing or a bad thing? You don't seem too certain about it ...

Yes, it's fine here now too...

The fact that the site was down for 4 hours is unimportant, as long as you can access it now. Duh.

Also Sourceforge - which owns /.

No way, Slashdot 0wns all other websites!!1

I for one welcome our Slashdot-crashing overlords

I didn't actually notice.

Servers downtime you!

George I think you mean nerd and not geek. My theory the biggest difference between geeks and nerds is that geeks bathe.
