I apologize for yesterday's downtime

For more than three hours yesterday, the Perlmonks website was broken: it was impossible to post any new writeup. It was me who caused this downtime by urging Corion to apply a particular pmdev patch I wrote, when that patch had a bug. I hereby apologize to all monks.

The details. The downtime lasted between approximately 2013-11-15 15:00 UTC to 2013-11-15 18:45 UTC. The patch was looksLikeSpam - (patch).

There's a saying I've heard among small-craft (less than 50 feet) sailors: "If you haven't run aground, you haven't been around." Dave	[reply]

++ for the courage to acknowledge the guilt. I had to e-mail myself a reply I was not able to post to post it later. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]

Like LanX I too enjoyed posting blinking text into the CB. But unlike LanX I didn't know when to stop. So I'd also like to take this opportunity to apologize to anyone I might have upset, as a result of my actions in the CB yesterday. Best wishes, and thanks, ambrus, for your efforts to improve the PerlMonks system. Even if things didn't work out, as planned. --Chris #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw use Perl::Always or die; my $perl_version = (5.12.5); print $perl_version;	[reply]

O dude, relax! =) Don't take this mixture of IT kindergarten and after-work-party here too serious. ;-) Just be careful to always deeply respect your mother! Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language)	[reply]

"INTO THE LAKE WITH WEIGHTS TIED TO YOUR FEETS!" Only valid for monks from Switzerland. ambrus is from Hungary. Perhaps better some Pálinka for free for all monks? Regards, Karl «The Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostrophe»	[reply]

++ambrus ... it's OK as it was actually the heretic on many platforms fault :P "chain of command" and all that. /me chuckles :D --- Many thanks to all for the hard work you put in improving this wonderful Monastery. And long may we all continue to learn from our mistakes!	[reply]

Ha! I noticed too yesterday and almost commented the same thing. Don't know about the rest of the world but in the US talking your way out of responsibility is high art and it's so refreshing to have owernship backed apology instead we tend to get pretty ++y.	[reply]
