JimH in IRC:
the Twitter comments just make me realise how much of a circle-jerk the valley is
Here’s the proof:
During our scheduled maintenance window we experienced some unexpected heavy traffic at 3a[m] P[S]T
3AM Pacific Standard Time is noon in most of Europe. Oops.
What unexpected traffic? Don’t they have historical stats for that?
I got an email from Biz Stone about Twitter this morning, full of guff about the Flash-y emptiness that is Twitter Blocks. It also said something about the downtime:
We scheduled some downtime for the wee hours of the morning but the work spilled over into normal human daytime.
Go on Biz, tell us outside the US what you really feel.
I’m going to migrate to Jaiku now. Thanks for nothing, Yank wankers.
