[MacAnkka]

They ceased OTA analog-tv signals yesterday and added new OTA digital channels here in Finland, so I went channel-surfing

 

[iRachel]

I slept through most of it, also watched some TV.

 

[siurpeeman]

Ooh, you reminded me. I talked to MattScott!!

Teh Skimmer™ lives!!

Refreshed a lot! Had a topic to post but it's all sorted out now.

 

[Miguey]

i passed out when i saw it was down...I took it all in at once(bad mistake) and panicked, woke up and it was back up again.

 

[David G.]

I flew around in Google Earth in the F-16. I love easter eggs.

 

[Abstract]

I felt like an abandoned child and cried.

I went out for coffee, then got to play with an iPhone for the first time, then went to a concert, i was gone all day and had no idea macrumors was even down...good thing i was busy all of yesterday.

 

[Xander562]

flipped out!!

 

[squeeks]

it was down about 1am EST early this morning was it down later this morning too?

 

[Ember Whimsy]

Listed stuff on eBay, after I realized I've become addicted to this place within days ^.^;;

 

[nickster9224]

does anyone know why it was down? i went disc golfing, and properly hooked all the wires up to my mac, and drooled over my dad's new 22" ACD. well not new but the old clear ones. but new to us.

[iBookG4user]

Spent all my time on my DevArt, as usual.

 

[Nugget]

I hung out, unproductively, on the macrumors irc channel.

 

[Mistershark]

Hit refresh every 5 seconds, with sips of espresso in between.

EDIT: 100th post! Yay!

 

[risc]

Played Warhawk on PS3, watched Red Dwarf, and slept.

 

[ghall]

My family threw me a b-day party (even though my birthday isn't until next saturday), and helped make my new signature possible.

 

[ezzie]

i had no idea MR was even down.

i was out in the real world.

(but if i had been here, i would have been in the fetal position sucking my thumb, surely.)

 

[bousozoku]

I didn't remove spam or ban anyone.

So, I slept and ate and visited other sites.

 

[iSaint]

I was trying to be productive and didn't get on my computer until this afternoon...AND IT WAS DOWN!!! I wigged for a bit, hit refresh 1.28 trillion times, then started the wash. Came back later and it was up.

All is right with the world this evening.

 

[zioxide]

you're all a bunch of liars.. i bet 90% of you just watched porn the whole time.

 

[zap2]

ps3 site, Gizmodo, Engadget, facebook, Kotaku...and some gaming....
