Maintenance Day - Nov 3rd

EDIT: Image uploads disabled, please don’t try. Migrating files but can keep forum running till ready tomorrow.

The forum site will be down today (3rd Nov) for some hardware changes. It’ll be mainly read-only or off while we move the stuff around. It is likely to back on the 4th or a 4th. Apologies for short notice, but November 3rd is a good day for it, as I’m sure you’re all aware, it’s Micronesia’s Independence Day, so most people will be celebrating that. Cheers.

Well then. I am totally stealing this idea of using foreign holidays to justify IT service outages at the office. :micronesia:

Good luck with the migration/upgrade - hope all goes well the first time! :+1:

Oh, yep - that will be fine. No worries there. Almost a zero chance of a problem with that. Very unlikely to be an issue. Shouldn’t come up. Yeah. :slight_smile:

Due to the climate, ambiance and local’s relaxed disposition I won’t be getting up until lunchtime Micronesia zone (Independence Day is partying pretty hard this year) to start this, so it won’t go read-only before late lunch Pacific TZ. If you sign in before then it might be ok and the streak will live on. Probably. Almost certainly. For sure.

I’ll see you there- haven’t shot any friendlies down in months.

I was also thinking of some XP11 flying around Micronesia in the PBY. Just because.

My Googlepedia research also shows that tomorrow is National Sandwich Day. Not sure what Nation, but I think the global community deserves a sandwich. I’m doing low-carb dieting, so I would murder someone for a real bread sandwich.

There are so no-carb bread-like things out there (don’t know how good they are), might be worth investigating.

Also, I think taking a cheat day tomorrow to celebrate our friends in Micronesia would be a noble endeavor. :slight_smile:

Can you imagine the party if the Sandwich Isles were part of Micronesia! I think with these two events ongoing the forum wouldn’t get any visitors anyway, so a good maintenance day(s).

I actually picked up some no net carb bread loaves from Aldi just this morning and made a grilled cheese sandwich.

It reaches the 0 net by being almost all fiber…although it is wheat fiber (gluten)…so if you aren’t a gluten fan or can’t tolerate it, might not be a great substitute for just not eating bread…

That contrasts with the NBA-branded “Nothin’ But Net Carbs” bread.

At least this won’t be on Arbor Day, definitely a big day around these parts considering how many trees live in my community. They go all-in here, with leaves and branches and chlorophylling away all day long.
Remember–treat plants kind, don’t be a florist who commits hate crimes against our flora brethren.
