@starball surree, kant taak, breyn is now blakhowl
@JourneymanGeek just so you know, if you ever need your carpets cleaned, you can travel to Abu Dhabi
It's going to be a bit more difficult for windows but it's doable
@M.A.R. Dang, I just get a can of carpet cleaner and do it myself
Like a peasant
@JourneymanGeek how uncivilized
A can of carpet cleaner?
Do you guys drink your soda in a spray bottle?
14:10
What does your carpet cleaner come in?
Spray can?
not to be confused with spray paint...
Yes it can
Your first link looks ok, I don't think diamond moderators should delete well received answers on personal whims. Can't say the same about the second though — oguz ismail Mar 7 at 5:23
Oooh kerosene. Yum.
Moderators seem to be adding messages to chatrooms on a whim. I find this objectionable.
Oh the huge manatee
Was that on a whim?
Can't you leave Tolkien alone?
The man has done enough for us
14:19
Lions are more CS Lewis
Computer Science Lewis? What a nerd
still gathering evidence on moderator personal whims
there's a Teams migration in progress. We expect no issues affecting the public network, but please ping me if you see anything weird
Or is it willy-nilly?
/me sees @M.A.R.
Gerv meant weird bad, not tenth-wonder weird.
I have preprinted autographs. You can purchase them at booth 2.

@g3rv4 I see a pink unicorn, is it related to the migration?
@M.A.R. thanks for the info, but we don't have to know about your willy. :D
17:11
@ShadowWizardChasingStars yes, unicorns are doing all the hard work
@g3rv4 good, SE does need some magik! :P
indeed we do
@g3rv4 the public site is read-only, is that weird enough?
it qualifies
definitely not expected, thanks for the ping!
17:20
Well, it's weekend. So expect it to be back in Monday?
yeah, trying to open the inbox and then greeted with not logged in. Trying to log in then greeted with "site in maintenance"
nope, we're working on iut
@g3rv4 Great, I did something useful. It switched to read only about 5 minutes ago
6 to 8 minutes by now
@rene you'll get your reward later, what would you like?
it is too early for ice cream?
17:22
@g3rv4 probably some stray database of Teams that nobody knew is also somehow linked to the public sites.
Or do we have to disagree on that first?
we expect it to be up in a bit
I mean, out of read only
@g3rv4 well, might as well be down again, when the migration is expected to be completed?
at 5pm ET
lol no idea when it's going to be.
I'm no alien sorry.
17:23
it is out of read-only ... it is now 100% down
we expected it not to affect public
That's ET time, he needs to phone home.
So, 12 hours? @g3r?
Anyway, I was correct. Let me find my prophecy...
should be back
Mar 2 at 12:06, by Shadow Wizard Chasing Stars
Next time they'll probably post the announcement 10 seconds before performing the maintenance.
@g3rv4 Yep, confirmed!
17:28
@g3rv4 but really, in the distant past, SE used to give us an alert 1-2 weeks ahead of time when going to perform maintenance or infrastructure changes, including big migrations. Then it became few days alert, then 1-2 days, and now... nada. Not your fault, but very odd decision from above to drop something that was useful.
:'(
If you can nudge some people to have the heads up alert back, better if 1-2 weeks, that would be awesome. ;)
I can't say much unfortunately
more than
:'(
I'm sure SE knew about the migration today for several weeks, it's not something you do out of a whim.
@ShadowWizardChasingStars Why exactly do you need 2 weeks notice?
17:30
@DavidPostill buy tickets to some exotic island.
@ShadowWizardChasingStars Lies :)
@g3rv4 all good, you're just the messenger today. :)
@DavidPostill I'll send you the ticket! :D
Well, when the 2 weeks notices will be back, that is.
@ShadowWizardChasingStars No good - I don't have an unexpired passport.
OMG
Now I understand how I saw a pink unicorn, it wasn't the migration, @balpha is here!!!1!! :P
@DavidPostill make a fake one when the time comes.
👋
17:34
hand clap to you too!
You part of this migration today too? @balpha
I'm mostly a curious observer, but yeah
Yeah here you usually wear your lurker hat only. :D
oh wait forgot something!
@rene yes we have to disagree, icecream is too big a prize to be given just for reporting the site is down. ;)
So what you want to disagree about?
@ShadowWizardChasingStars I disagree
@rene so let's agree to disagree that we have to disagree.
Your icecream is on its way!
@rene here is your big and tasty reward!
@ShadowWizardChasingStars yummy
18:41
@g3rv4 Sites all appear to be broken again. Serving up blank pages.
> TypeError: document.head is null
on it
failing over
aaand we're back
@g3rv4 Many thanks

I can no longer enter The Reading Room, the chatroom of a site I moderate. I am logged in on the main site, but that does not help me get in to the chatroom. (I can't get in the Teachers' Lounge either.)
@Tsundoku I can't repro this.
I have the same issue in The Language Lab (for Language Learning SE) and Chez Cosette (for French SE).
No repro for any of those rooms.
^ This is what I get. Clicking "logged in" does not help.
@Tsundoku Have you restarted your browser since the sites came back online?
19:10
No.
Give it a try
That made no difference.
fantastically well written and insightful post 👏 — Jeff Atwood 12 mins ago
Well, that's one way to make me feel good about what I wrote.
19:43
I have completely logged out, restarted my browser, logged in again, and the only chatrooms I can access are on Meta SE and SO. I have no access to the chatrooms of the sites I moderate, nor to the Ask Ubuntu General Room or Root Access (superuser.com).
19:54
@Tsundoku Ask a question on meta.se?
@Tsundoku what kind of logon method do you use? Gmail? SE account? Something else?
20:14
@Spevacus it's exactly how I would have answered that post so of course it is fantastically well-written and insightful
@ShadowWizardChasingStars you're just a nilly person?
@Spevacus These both need 1 more delete vote

22:04
@rene Somehow the issue went away. I'm on a different network now, but I doubt that's relevant.
22:16
I'm wondering if I should capitalize my Area 51 username due to the change to the flag history to capitalize flag dismissing types.
 
1 hour later…
23:47
@starball with the input post, I'm inclined to not really worry about comments as answers
Different story if its a rant of many comments, of course
23:58
@JourneymanGeek alrighty
