36. When I couldn't get on to DU this morning, I checked the BBC
First of all, I got there. It wasn't my computer or my network provider.

Second, there was nothing to report but a bus bombing in Baghdad.

So I surmised it was DU's problem.

37. I miss the "immediacy" of the old "Panic chat room" on AIM
I have never been able to figure out the Yahoo format..
I have it bookmarked, but it's slow and boggy to use, so I don;t think I'ver ever posted on it.:)

The moe time I spend away from DU, makes it less "stressful" when it's down.. I rememebr how panicky I used to get, and nowadays, I just find something else to do :)

11. is there a panic room for the panic room?
unfortunatly the OS system on my work computer won't connect to the DU panic room

had to call my partner and have her try the DU to determine if it was a site problem or if it was a problem with my computer connection

21. PANIC !!!
My first action when I could not get in after several attempts was to turn on the tv and see if we were at war. I am serious.

Finally, even though we are having wintry/mix storm and I did not need to go to the office - I came to my office because the Panic Room is under my favorites. Still could not get in.

Is there another PANIC ROOM?

30. It's an email list, so you can get it by email
There's an option somewhere to have messages emailed to you.
Also you can email messages to the list.

13. I was beginning to wonder whether Skinner had paid the light bill...
Having a new baby in the house can tend to make one forgetful.

19. Message from Elad
Downtime this morning (Thursday, Feb. 1st) (Feb 01st 2007)
DU experienced a couple hours of downtime this morning due to server troubles, which have since been resolved.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

33. People are posting in the Lounge....
but you can't see replies since around 8:30 this morning. Threads are being bumped up, but you can't read the new replies. Weird.

32. Bless me father, for I have sinned--
I thought that I may have broken the Internet. Went to bed with DU minimized and woke up 10 hours later with DU still sitting down there in the tray. Lurked around without problems, and then closed out and went to go get some coffee! When I came back to logon, DU was GONE, GONE, GONE! At first I feared the worst, then that my ISP had finally succumbed to censorship of the site of my cyberaddiction since everything else seemed to work OK. The guilt was terrible. Apparently, confession IS good for the soul. Prayer answered; DU's back and I really didn't break it afterall. PHEW! Now, onto the donation page to put $$ where my mouth is!
