You know the one good thing about blogs? They relieve stress. No, seriously. Your own little place where you can just vent your frustration without having to buy one at Home Depot, while having all sorts of people stare at you.

I think I just defined the word "blog."

Anyhow, back to my frustration...

As many of you know, BS01 has been down. During that time that it has been down, Epsilon has been trying to help us redo the mothersite. At first things were going well. Truly we didn't know what the heck was causing the extreme server load, so we were basically like, "Let's just get rid of the problem altogether and redo the main site!"

Things at first were going swimmingly. Eps was working hard, alone, by himself. But that was ok because he was doing a fine job on it. As you may have heard, all of the BS01 Wiki Staff have already seen how it's coming along. Goin' great. Or...at least it was.

Unfortunately, a couple of days ago a huge storm that knocked out the electricity in many, many cities took place. Epsi was hit. Thus he was two days behind because of a power outage. *Glares at weather*

Then not too long ago, Swert, Eps, and I were talking in a chat about how things were going. Swert apparently copied and pasted a segment of an email or PM or something from Binky that showed that we were still causing extreme server load. Swert suddenly decided to reinstall the wiki. It was very confusing, but that's what is hopefully going to happen. Anyhow, to reinstall the wiki, one needs access to the wiki. To have access, someone needs to bring down the redirect on BS01. In the topic that discussed BS01 being offline (BS01 Offline) Eps gave his words on the matter...

Well, good news! As of now, I'm finished working on BS01. You see, somewhere along the line, reinstalling the wiki suddenly became part of the agenda, even though the wiki was not thought to be the problem in the first place. I say, was the wiki the problem, but nevertheless, announcements are made that the wiki was being reinstalled. And I'm just in the mood to take my computer and smash it with a hammer right now, because it's obvious there was a major communication error somewhere along the line.

 

To help fix the problem, I want to see if Bink, who's been helping out with this, has an IM name. I track the message, which I do from time to time with people to see if they got my PMs. About thirty minutes later, he reads it. One day later, I'm still waiting for a reply, and, to be honest, I have better things to do than wait. Not intentionally alluding to a forum, but I could be workng on it right now instead of being told to get something done when, well, I have no idea just what I'm supposed to be getting done.

 

So yeah. Instead of waiting, I'll be working on things that I can get done more quickly at the moment. I'm sorry, I wish I could at least some of BS01 finished, but until we can find a way to clearly identify the problem and then find a method to fix it other than "Epsi can do it, don't worry", I don't see how BS01 will be up and running.

So now we wait...
