What's up with the servers today, anyone know when they will be back up? I keep getting 1001 and 0023. scheduled downtime http://eqlive.station.sony.com/support/scheduled_downtime.jsp > scheduled downtime > > http://eqlive.station.sony.com/support/scheduled_downtime.jsp February 28th, 2004 at 3:00 am PST (UTC/GMT -8 hours), US EverQuest servers, Kane Bayle, Antonius Bayle, and Venril Sathir will be brought down for an update. Sebilis and Kael Drakkal will not be affected by this update. Estimated Downtime is 3 hours. - The SOE Game Operations Team It says at 3:00am and downtime is 3 hours, so shouldn't they be back up by now? > It says at 3:00am and downtime is 3 hours, so shouldn't they be back up by > now? It says 3am PST, which is 11:00 GMT. It's currently 13:49 GMT, so they're due back up in 11 minutes. > > It says at 3:00am and downtime is 3 hours, so shouldn't they be back up by > > now? > > It says 3am PST, which is 11:00 GMT.

Aside from the fact it's 'Sony Online will never be confused with Sony Ontime' it's 3 hours of Computer Work Time... 3 hours CWT=6 hours real time, trust me I work on computers every day. In real time bending however, 12 hours of CWT= approx 8, and the other day I had 10 min of CWT = 9 hours. I think if you could figure out CWT you could master the secrets of time and space. >> > scheduled downtime >> > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups >---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- > >I think your exagerrating lol Installed a soundcard Thursday, it turned from 10 minutes (pop the case, put it in, install driver) to 9 hours pop case install card close case computer won't power on. Open case pull card computer won't power on spend 45 minutes diagnosing what turns out to be a dead power supply... I never actually turned the thing on before starting. Normally if it won't power on that would be first thing I check. Customer later tells me he hasn't been able to power it on for 2 months... but he wants a new sound card installed. right. Install card Install drivers. Windows protection error, system halted on reboot Windows protection error, system halted on bootup to safe mode 2 min to weep in corner. Pull card, WPESH We're now at 1 hour or so. ~5 hours of beating windows ME with big stick. ~1 hour to run medium depth surface scan of drive. Hard drive has bad physical sectors all over, but nothing listed in scandisk. Bad sectored files include the swap file and registry. <sigh> ~2 hours to replace drive, install windows, patch windows, dig up and install drives for esoteric hardware, and salvage as much data as possible off failing hard drive. snip >~5 hours of beating windows ME with big stick. Well here was the reason for the problem: Winodws ME! And if it only took 5 hours of beating with a stick, that must have been a rather large one to get the job done that quickly. :) >----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- >http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups >---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- > > >I think your exagerrating lol > Installed a soundcard Thursday, it turned from 10 minutes (pop the case, put [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > install drives for esoteric hardware, and salvage as much data as possible > off failing hard drive. MyBoyfriend had to Close his computer repair business for exactly this reason, people didn't think it was fair to charge them for their failing hard disk/messed up windows install/messing it up once he had done his job, so they were trying to get him to do all these extra jobs for free. Unfortunately being a nice person he did tend to do this, not a good way to run a buisiness. Ceri :) Knows CWT is real. From bitter bitter EXP PS put in an extra memory chip the other day. Powered up Windows lost a file Disk was fine But decided to play silly buggers for around 3 hours Re installed after loosing all my email and favorites from C drive Working fine now.

What I want to know is if they can do that (my mechanic doesn't, but he's a straight shooter), why when the book says 2 hours and they take 4, do they want to charge me for 4?

The kicker is when the book says 3 hours and he takes 6 and then charges you for 6. |
