This time, the walls are shaking!
I made fun of it in the past. I admit it. And I’m about to eat my words. I like punctiations. Really. I do. Ehem.
Hide yourself under the long skirts of ugly old women! (no offense, they’re just a very strategic place to hide; no one in their right mind will look for something there) Wikipedia is down! D: -a tripped circuit breaker caused the Wikimedia servers to stop chattering and mayhem has ensued. I found out when I wanted to look up again which city has the largest metropolitan area in the world (Mexico DF is either second or first, if my memory is not failing) and I was handed an error message telling me to check back in a few minutes. A few minutes later, they probably diverted their DNS to another server and they informed the people of the power failure.
It’s getting worse now though, every single thing that sparks my interest, I vainly go: “uuh, let me look that up in Wikipedia!” only to seconds later come to my senses and remember what’s going on. “Curses!” I say.
Honestly, not having it has made me notice how much I need it. They have an off-site backup of the fundraising page, so go donate some dough. I order you.
