WH Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I awoke this AM to the following message. Geocaching.com is down for maintenanceWe're in the process of upgrading our database servers. This should improve the speed of the web site. Thanks for your patience In the meantime, you can visit the Groundspeak forums or check out the Groundspeak store. Both of these web sites do not rely on the Geocaching database. Get well soon you silly frog Quote
+Mopar Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 On Tuesday April 26 at 11:00 PM PDT (GMT -7), we will be performing some hardware upgrades to our primary database server as well as installing a second read-only database server. This work is anticipated to take 2-3 hours, and during this time, Geocaching.com and all related services except for the forums will be offline. Looks like they ran into problems? Quote
+gpsfun Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 It's going to be a tough morning for the FTF crew! Quote
+cache_test_dummies Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Lady M: What sort of trouble? Reg: One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treddle. Lady M: Pardon? Reg: One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treddle. Lady M: I don't understand what you're saying. Reg: (slightly irritatedly and with exaggeratedly clear accent) One of the cross beams has gone out of skew on the treadle. Lady M: Well, what on earth does that mean? Reg: *I* don't know! - Mr. Irish just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at the mill, that's all - I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition! Quote
+Divine Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Looks like they ran into problems? So it seems. An update on the situation would be nice. Quote
+cudlecub Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 That's a welcome but unwelcome message. Hopefully things will be better on the weekends when I'm trying to log finds or hides. Quote
Keystone Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Signal is feeling better! Let's hope he stays fast. Pump him with caffeine! Quote
bug and snake Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 If you are still seeing the sick frog try hitting the re-set/re-load button on yer browser. Mine was hung up on the image till I did that..... (?) Quote
+Miragee Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 It's going to be a tough morning for the FTF crew! That's what happened to me last night. Two caches showed up and I wanted to see if I could be FTF . . . but I couldn't get the latest info . . . Since it would have been about a 40-mile roundtrip, I didn't want to head out if someone else had already logged it . . . Quote
WH Posted April 27, 2005 Author Posted April 27, 2005 Signal is feeling better! Let's hope he stays fast. Pump him with caffeine! I thought I read somewhere that signal was a her. Quote
Keystone Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Well, Signal is a he right now. It was part of the hardware upgrade. Quote
+VegasCacheHounds Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 So, the antenna is now in a different spot? Quote
Keystone Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I would like to respond by saying that Signal is bipolar, but that would get me in trouble with Hydee, so I won't go there. Quote
+sept1c_tank Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Signal is, and always was, a she. And don't you forget it! Quote
+hydee Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I would like to respond by saying that Signal is bipolar, but that would get me in trouble with Hydee, so I won't go there. Quote
Keystone Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 First, here is definitive proof of Signal's gender. (Well, not photos or anything, but pronouns are proof too.) Second, I would like to say that I really enjoyed being a forum moderator here for the past 20 months. It was a fun ride while it lasted, and I will miss the job very much. Quote
WH Posted April 27, 2005 Author Posted April 27, 2005 So, at what address will you be accepting resume's to fill Keystone's position? Quote
+sept1c_tank Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 First, here is definitive proof of Signal's gender. (Well, not photos or anything, but pronouns are proof too.)... That's what they want you to believe. But a very reputable writer, close to the horse's mouth, tells this story. Quote
+Corp Of Discovery Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Maybe Signals a hermaphrodite cross-dresser...... Quote
+Miragee Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Offered with no comment..... Nice to know there is a scientific explanation for the discrepancy. Quote
+sept1c_tank Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Does this look like a guy to you? An official image taken from the CITO website.) Quote
+sept1c_tank Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Actually, the image above may include even more evidence that Signal is a she. If you examine the url of the image, it is titled "signal_laying." One definition of lay is: "to bring forth and deposit (an egg)." Quote
+Marietta Moose Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Signal is feeling better! Let's hope he stays fast. Pump him with caffeine! KA, I'd like to suggest that Jeremy just might be a bit perturbed if one decides to give the server a good shot of coffee to pump Signal with a shot a caffine. I know for a fact that coffee and keyboards don't get along at all. Now, sending Jeremy a box of chocolates will provide Signal's boss with the shot of caffine and just might contribute to a feeling of warmth and being loved which seems to do wonders to help solve some problems.

+tls11823 Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! [After all this time, I can't belive that nobody else has said that. It had to be done.] Quote
+5 Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! [After all this time, I can't belive that nobody else has said that. It had to be done.] Arghh! Just saw the post and scrolled quickly down to toss the punch line, and you beat me to it!!! Quote
+reveritt Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 I would like to respond by saying that Signal is bipolar, ... I think you mean "bisexual." Bipolar is similar (identical?) to manic-depressive. Quote
+Corp Of Discovery Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 I would like to respond by saying that Signal is bipolar, ... I think you mean "bisexual." Bipolar is similar (identical?) to manic-depressive. Could it also be taken to mean that Signal actually has 2 poles? Quote
+The Jester Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 (edited) I would like to respond by saying that Signal is bipolar, ... I think you mean "bisexual." Bipolar is similar (identical?) to manic-depressive. Could it also be taken to mean that Signal actually has 2 poles? But if only one is visible, that leads to some interesting speculation on where the other one might be... Edited April 29, 2005 by The Jester Quote
