We're Back...
I'm sure a few hearts stopped when PPCT went belly-up there for a few hours, but thanks to the efforts of the dynamic duo (Jorj and Janak - with help from Scott), the site is humming along nicely now. Whew. In case you missed it, for a few hours we had what I think is perhaps my best haiku yet:
We are off the grid
Like water over the falls
Our server tumbles
Doesn't that just move you? For those that don't know the back story to that, every time we move the site, or it goes down for some reason, I write up a nice haiku - I think the stress over going offline juxtaposed with the peace of the haiku is what makes them so fulfilling. Or maybe it's because our infrastructure is so complicated now, when things go down, all I'm good for is writing poetry. :lol:
UPDATE: Ok, somethin' dun got broke again. :mecry: The site will be slow for a bit because the load is quite high.

That was the best one yet! Do we have a record of every Haiku you have posted? If we do, maybe we should post them all somewhere...:wink:

I second that. I would love to see a haiku archive.
How about a haiku contest?

I'm incapable of writing limericks, due to a lack of Irish genes, and furthermore, everytime I think of limericks, Data from ST:TNG comes to mind: "There was once a lady from Venus, whose body was shaped like a..." 8O
