Re: Big Button Day -- LIVE (4.00 / 2)

PS I'd like to put this on the front page. Can you hold off from updating for three minutes from this timestamp while I do it?

Re: Big Button Day -- LIVE (4.00 / 3)

Hope I didn't squidge an update of yours. But check, it might have happened.

BTW, is that the time you're using at CERN, or do you need to put your user prefs on CET?

Alternatively, who knows what time it is and does it matter? (No, forget I said matter).

Oh no, we don't even have full beam and already it's messing up the whole fabric of time-space....

Re: Big Button Day -- LIVE (none / 1)

Duh... I just realized it's probably time from the beginning of the operation. But it seems to nearly all get updated together.

Re: Big Button Day -- LIVE (none / 1)

No, it's the server time. But I don't know why it puts all the updates but the first two on the same timestamp.

Re: Big Button Day -- LIVE (4.00 / 4)

No idea what happened. I am on CET, and the first few updates looked okay. Then they turned strange... Oh no! I think In Wales is correct below. We are messing up the space-time. Or possible it is the large scale release of strangelets?

Re: Big Button Day -- LIVE (none / 1)

Strangelets?

You can't go for coffee, we might need saving.

Re: Big Button Day -- LIVE (4.00 / 7)

Strangelets in the night,
Exchanging glances,
Wondering in the night,
What were the chances...

we'd be running into each other further round the collider...

Or perhaps:

People are strange
When you're a strangelet
Quarks are ugly
When you're down.

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman
