Subject: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Off From: Max Date: 08 Oct 09 - 09:29 AM Folks, I have to take the Mudcat offline to fix up the backend a bit. The database has gotten a bit bloated over the years, and I need to perform a cleaning/compression that can't happen while the database is in use. Since it's so big, it should take all day. I hope to start on it first thing Sunday and hope it'll be done by a reasonable bed time. Thanks. |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: Amos Date: 09 Oct 09 - 04:28 PM I may find time to finish uploading the Getaway clips to Youtube. A |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: Rasener Date: 09 Oct 09 - 06:10 PM Max - how do the times work out in relation to your time over there and over in the UK? Are you about 8 hours behind us? Les I do like Jeri's comment. Made me larf. |
|
Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: katlaughing Date: 09 Oct 09 - 06:16 PM Les, Mudcat is on the East Coast. I am in Colorado and about 7 hours behind UK i.e. if it is Midnight in London, it is 5p here in CO; while I am 2 hours behind Mudcat, so probably about 5 between the UK and Mudcat, I think. Hope that is clearer than mud.:-) |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: s&r Date: 09 Oct 09 - 06:37 PM 11.25pm October 9 in the uk - look at the post time |
|
Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: s&r Date: 09 Oct 09 - 06:39 PM UK time is 5 hours later than mudcat time. Stu |
|
Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: jacqui.c Date: 09 Oct 09 - 07:04 PM UK time is 5 hours EARLIER than Mudcat (EST) time. |
|
Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: GUEST Date: 09 Oct 09 - 09:38 PM hmmm... how is 12 midnight UK time earlier than 7pm EST? Greenwich Mean Time is at the time of this posting (approx)01:38 am Saturday Oct 10, 2009. GMT - 4 = EST (for now ..when the USA 'falls back' then GMT - 5 will equal EST) GMT + 1 = UK (for now ... when the UK shifts back to Western European time GMT + 0 will equal UK time) |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: Janie Date: 09 Oct 09 - 10:35 PM Thanks, Max. |
|
Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: Rasener Date: 10 Oct 09 - 04:17 AM Thanks one and all. So if we get up at 5am we might get a bit of posting in :-) |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: The Barden of England Date: 10 Oct 09 - 05:47 AM We UK'ers should be alright until about noon, but whichever way - Max you are a star giving us this community. Thanks for all your hard work. John Barden |
|
Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: s&r Date: 10 Oct 09 - 05:58 AM It is dawn in the UK. Let's call it 6 am. Five hours pass. It is dawn in Mudcat land. Mudcat sets its clock to be dawn (6 am). But UK time is 11am, so the Mudcat clock is 11-6=5 hours earlier. Therefore UK time is 5 hours later than Mudcat, even though everything happens five hours earlier in the UK in absolute time. Stu |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: The Barden of England Date: 10 Oct 09 - 09:46 AM It's now 14:46 in UK, so this should show up as 09:46 on Mudcat John Barden |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: The Barden of England Date: 10 Oct 09 - 09:47 AM Et voila!!! Mudcat is 5 HRS behind us in the UK |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: SteveMansfield Date: 10 Oct 09 - 10:02 AM Good luck with the DB cleansing: and don't forget (because I've done it), DELETE FROM table *** WHERE *** ... :) |
|
Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: Jeri Date: 10 Oct 09 - 10:12 AM Yep, Mudcat is 5 hours behind the UK, or EARLIER, the UK is 5 hours ahead, or LATER, and the time of clicking-on is at the bottom of every thread AND the main threads page. |
|
Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: open mike Date: 10 Oct 09 - 01:07 PM just a reminder -- if you get the heebie jeebies from missing the cat you can go to the mudcat facebook pages for a fix. |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: kendall Date: 10 Oct 09 - 01:35 PM Now Max, dont go sounding like some Cockney Blipe, you know you can do no wrong. |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: SteveMansfield Date: 10 Oct 09 - 01:37 PM The time thing does take some time to get your head round - I'm very used to it because I've been following American Football since the 80s, and you quickly get used to translating a 1pm kickoff into 6pm UK time. By convention all game kickoff times on NFL.com are stated in EST. However my team is the 49ers, in San Fransisco, and they are on the West Coast PST which is three hours behind EST/Mudcate time (so 4pm EST = 1pm PST). Not a problem until you actually get (a) to go to the States and (b) have tickets for a game, it wasn't until we arrived in SF that we realised that kickoff was actually 1pm local time, not 4pm. Luckily we realised on the Friday when we started looking at public transport out to the stadium, rather than on gameday :) |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 Oct 09 - 11:45 PM Running this up to the top in case it has gone unnoticed. Work fast, Max, try to resist the Facebook/FriendsFeed/Twitter sirens and bail out the back end of the 'cat. :) SRS |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 11 Oct 09 - 01:48 AM I bet someone will delete you before the darkness falls. . . |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: Leadfingers Date: 11 Oct 09 - 05:33 AM Well Max isnt up yet ! Only 05.30 ish over there ! |
|
Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: Mr Happy Date: 11 Oct 09 - 05:44 AM Indeed, the time lag should give European 'catters a little window 'til Max crawls out of bed to get crackin' on the 'cat! |

|
Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: Jeri Date: 11 Oct 09 - 12:12 PM Somebody send an ambulance to Richard's house. I figure Max is in the Pennsylvania State Morning After Time Zone, which means, Like Letterman's pants, could go down anytime. |
|
Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: Amos Date: 11 Oct 09 - 12:27 PM Letterman's aides, also. LOL. Standing by with 'bated breath. A |

|
Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Maintenance Sunday (Offline) From: Richard Bridge Date: 11 Oct 09 - 01:31 PM I was on at various times of the night, UK time, and most of the morning, on and off, UK time, so I think that's a "not tonight, Josephine". |
