hurshy

my subject line was "SOS mayday help help distress"

5:24 pm

hokie carla

I emailed ruru and he had emailed dr. god so then I didn't know if I should bombard him with more

5:24 pm

hokie carla

I had started that grid at the flip and it was a good one

5:24 pm

hurshy

and he said the server hosting company had done it and he couldn't do anything until they reset it, and like today i was about ready to email him and ask if he had their mailing address, that i might send them dungbombs

5:25 pm

hokie carla

haha. maybe you could have sent them something nice. more bees with honey something something.

5:26 pm

hokie carla

FTR, I was not any more productive without babble

5:26 pm

hurshy

no i'd rather send them dungbombs

5:26 pm

MollyL

That is a person desperate for Babble

5:27 pm

hurshy

yeah i was possibly less productive cause i felt so OFF

5:27 pm

hokie carla

I guess the server host doesn't work weekends

5:28 pm

Gabs

Yeah! Itâ€™s back!

5:28 pm

hokie carla

welcome back!

5:28 pm

hurshy

i thought that too about the weekend and then when it still wasn't back at like 5 today i was like, why why why

5:29 pm

10:16 pm

you and me both, Gillie -- but on second thought I think Dr. G would have let us know if that was the case.

10:16 pm

mkg

I wish Dr. God would tell us what happened.

10:16 pm

Gillie

Well, that was my first theory, too, but everything else was fine.

10:17 pm

mkg

Oh Dr. God????? Please tell us what happened.

10:17 pm

Gillie

I guess his server provider had some sort of a problem. (Molly said something about it earlier in the chat.)

10:18 pm

cybernan

Seain said it was a billing error

10:20 pm

Gillie

I didn't try e-mailing him because I assumed his e-mail address would be out too.

10:21 pm

Gillie

(and since it wasn't, he must have been swamped)
