Was anyone else offline last night between 6 & 11 p.m. PDT besides me?

Lynsey, I don't know when it was (stupid, stupid time zones), but yes, Mefi was out for me, too, at some point.

Once again, thanks Matt! One wonders how many times you've had to do that these 4 years.... A grateful MeFi usership salutes you!

You mean you---go out? As in "leaving MetaFilter", if only for a mo? You abandon ship? Why, you irresponsible little man; it's no wonder everyone here hates your guts! ;)

Lynsey: yes, it was out for us Portuguese too. Not that the previously reliable WiKi Mefi Status report was any consolation, as it only seems to work after the fact.

I was actually offline for a few days, so if you saw lots of double posts sticking around, that was why.

Hope it was fun. I don't imagine how it possibly could be, but I hope it was.

What do you use to control the shakes in such a situation?

On the bright side, we had plenty of time to get that damn Cat in the Hat to clean up his mess and scram.
