We’re talking to IBM’s people about some of the instability we’ve been feeling the last 24 hours, with the amount they’re charging us they should hopefully find a very rapid solution. Sorry for any inconvenience folks.

So now I know that I was chasing my tail trying to improve speed on the store's computer. 🤦

I think SkyNet is taking over. My iPad was acting funny all day.

Maybe it's the full moon.

My company uses a lot of IBM. Huge availability problems. Proprietary monolithic solutions that are difficult to keep up. Good luck!

You know, maybe it isn't just coincidence that the server is crashing after news got out of my return. 😜 ::psy::

They're responding to our support requests very slowly, at this rate we might do a whip around and see if we can pay to send Dennis down to their Dallas datacenter to yell at them from the parking lot until they get their stuff sorted. 3 years solid uptime before this (1096 days), but you're only as good as your last outage.

Believe it or not my cousin is the CEO of IBM Australia.
Can give you a phone number if you PM me. Or if any more issues I will post it here for all 😗

You in Brisbane end of next week ? They are letting me out of the Territory for a week.
Let me know if you and @Trev want a few Rums

So... was I the only one blaming the slow load speeds on my own crappy wifi? ::facepalm1::

Can you bring an aluminum bat in your carry on?
Sure, it takes a Good Guy with a bat to stop a Bad Guy with a bat.

Have fun...

Okay, thanks for the warning - I'll keep my eyes peeled for Good Guys with bats so I don't get JoePescied.
