Pardon The Slowness Today...

[Janak Parekh]

Between some server issues this morning and the fact that two of the editors (myself, admittedly, one of them) have been swamped with deadlines, the front page is a little slower than usual today. We're still here though, so no worries, we haven't been kidnapped by aliens. Yet. ;) We should be back up to speed by tomorrow. Thanks for your patience!

Good to know. Yeah, I was shocked to see all the Thoughts' sites down this morning. It was like not having power...I was bored and felt like surfing, so I loaded PPCT, only to remember it was down...then 5 minutes later, DMT...drats, same thing. Oh and SPT? Bah it was a long morning without them. ;)

Oh, and no one needs to comment that I should have been doing something more productive...or that I should be doing something more productive now. :P

Speak for yourself Janak... those aliens were pretty friendly though, and as a plus, now I have a pretty awesome green glow...

It's cruch time in University life, so that explains Janak, Darius, & Myself when we appear swamped! We're just happy to have free time to sleep :)

I just slept at 3AM and woke up at 8AM. Although I now feel like a cold turkey, I can happily say I got a fair share of work done yesterday.

On a side note, I'll be up to speed by next week.

what exactly are you guys doing anyway? I miss the regular stuff. :cry:

Having the site down was bad enough, but for the last couple of days I've had a worse problem; I can no longer read the forums at work!

We have Symantic software to prevent access to "inappropriate" sites, and they've apparently made some changes to it. In the past, it's just blocked individual items on a page, but now, although I can get to the PPCT forum topics page, I can't look at individual threads. I just get --

I can get to forums on some other sites I've tried, but it's also apparently found something it didn't like at Powells.com. I can look at book descriptions of hardcover books, not not ebooks. :roll:

You should all be hanging at the Smartphone site anyway! :devilboy:

That's weird. Steve & co. aggressively moderate, on top of things...

I was writing a thesis proposal, which is now done. Now, I have to dig out of my piles of email...

Aw, shucks. And I thought I had finally learned to read quicker. :wink:

Thesis proposal for what?? :D Honestly, I thought that all PPCT staff have abandoned the site and joined palm community for good when I saw the lack of update today.

Very weird indeed! There isn't anything in these forums that should have gotten them flagged on your end. Is it possible for you to talk to your IT guys about it (without getting fired or having to explain why you are on here all of the time? :wink: ) PM me to discuss further...

I've been preparing a pilot project for my masters thesis and preparing a presentation for a conference this weekend.

Aw, shucks. And I thought I had finally learned to read quicker. :wink:

Well, I'm still learning to write faster. :wink:

(Or at least wade through emails and get the other stuff out of of the way and sort out the busyness of life in order to have time to read up on topics and then post on them.)

Steven,

Thanks. I don't think there can be anything objectionable here (or in Powell's ebook section, for that matter). I think our security settings have just gone mad.

In theory, we're only supposed to use the internet for business related research, so it's best not to rock the boat. I'll just have to do more work and less browsing during the day now.

Sorry, I'm hopelessly non-technical. I haven't even figured out how to quote other posts, and haven't a clue about PM. :oops:

Well,...... you see the small buttons marked 'Quote' to the top right and 'PM' to the bottom left of this post...... :wink:

Oh well, I've never been very observant, and advancing age and deteriorating eyesight don't help. :)
