Hmmm, seeing as I think it was 3 days we actually lost, and who knows how many posts went up into the ether.. i decree that henceforce we need to decide upon a name to celebrate the loss of SAU time and data that just "disappeared" in such a tragic loss.. just like 9/11, the titanic...and that time when I dropped a whole 700ml bottle of Vodka, and other great tragedies of our time.

How about "The Big Post Holocaust" or TBPH for short?

Other Suggestions?? :)

I am putting together an international terrorist taskforce to uncover the goings on over the last few days...

We have credible information something extrememly geeky went wrong and many of us were affected...

As a courtesy to the posts lost and their families I ask that respect is shown when talking about this malicious loss...

Should you have any information relating to this unforgivable terrorist act, please call the taskforce.

Well a month called Mercedonius was invented by the romans when they found out that they were loosing time. Mercedonius was about 22 days long and as a result of this they ended up with one year that had 445 days. Later on in medieval times this was reversed as they didn't like the Julian Calendar system, causing many people around the world (bak then) to miss out on 22 days of their lives. farken mercidonius...

Funnily enough the greeks were adament they din wanna change back and they held on to this calendar system till 1923...

I'm now a dribbling mess.

My medical bills are going straight to the SAU admins.

Thats 15 hours of therapy @ 55 p/h inc. gst= $825

Prescriptions for:

Lithium = $85

Zanax = $67

Percodan = $78

Temazapam = $43

Nurofen = $10.45

Not to mention all the calls I made to phone sex lines because I was stressed.

135 calls = $1549.35

5 visits to The Boardroom

5 x 2 hours at $350 p/h = $3500. Hang on, I do that each week anyway so I won't bill SAU for that

Lets see, that all comes to:

$2657.78 in Therapy. anti-depressant phamaceuticals and phone relief.

I'll happily take a cheque.:D

Due to the loss of SAU over the last few days, I (like James) got so much more work done.

I actually left the office on time the last couple days.

I think we should call this time of loss "Productivity" :D

Dammit the thread bout my car is gone :)

So very glad that the short run of 'productivity' is over. I was talking to people, reading the paper - and even leaving the building at lunchtime!

I swear It'll never happen again.

Oh - Leewah, the unfortunate loss of your thread has beed remedied :D

Yeah for sure! I mean I actually had to look at our suppliers web sites and WORK instead or trawling these forums, it was hideous. I mean now I have customers who's jobs were completed over 3 times faster than usual and now I'm going to have them expecting this ALL the time, it's just not on! ROFL!!! :D

while sau was down i had an excuse to waste a few seconds at any time when i was at home, the excuse would simply be, 'ill pop to the comp and see if SAU is back up and running, because they might need help setting it up again'.... hmm, im such an idiot :ZAP::zap::zap::zap:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
