Is the 5k affecting MeFi this morning? I keep getting timeouts and server too busy messages.

I thought it was Brill's, myself. Things seemed to improve ~15 mins ago.

Matt's been playing with the database, I think we all just have to be patient.

This is stating the obvious, but that Content article may pull MeFi off line big time....

I'm trying to be patient, Anil, but Metafilter is more addictive than crack. :)

Things should be better now. Eric fixed it.

It's painful right now, too. 3pm-3:15pm. I came here wondering if it was the Brill effect.

Ooh! Not to drift topic hugely or anything, but I never heard that "cheney" usage before, Aaron. I like it. Does it have a particular social group of origin?

Ok, Aaron. When headlines go bad. The copy's pretty good, too.

Here's another one Aaron -- imagine what that did to the negotiations.
