*sigh* You'd hope they would have learned

It's happened again. (See http://www.livejournal.com/users/matthewp/112825.html for context)

Due to our monitoring system wrongly believing in the failure of several score machines, I've been bombarded with text messages. A few hundred of them. I expect I'll be deleting them well until midday.

I'm so glad this will be over soon.

Anway, the point of this post is to say if you need to get hold of me today, I'd recommend phoning me rather than using SMS.
Update: 0800
One of the dev team have noticed and helpfully disabled paging. For the moment, the messages have stopped arriving.

Maybe not

I've not shaved in a couple of days, and was just about to. Then I remembered my face is
numb from dental treatment earlier this morning. Perhaps it's not such a good idea right
now.

Plan:

• drop car off at work
  
• Random last minute shopping in town
  
• Head over via TimB's place to fruit_boy's to collect hifi stuff
  
• Other stuff I've forgotten

I'll probably be offline for a few days whilst I'm at bicon. Hopefully I'll not be too busy that I actually have time to enjoy myself.

Have a great weekend, folks.
