Alpha World has been down for days now. And they call this "routine
maintenance"?? Let's get real, here. The last time Alpha World has been down for this long was years ago. They should tell us what is taking so long. ferruccioJun 10, 2004, 8:58pm
You need to close a world to backup a propdump? It shouldn't take days to
back up Alpha World's propdump if you do it through the world server. Even if it does, would this imply that they haven't backed up the propdump in a matter of years. :P [View Quote] sw comitJun 10, 2004, 9:03pm
And AWI, as they've claimed and proved, backup Alphaworld everyday unless
they stopped somewhere in the past couple years. I think they might be upgrading their hard drives since the world database is growing to a critical mass. The AW Mapper is also down...a clue O_o? Either way I can't imagine what would be taking so long. Maybe they forgot AW was down =P [View Quote] ryanJun 10, 2004, 9:51pm
From AW's network status page:
"Network Status Thursday, June 10, 2004 AlphaWorld will be unavailable until 6/10/04 as it undergoes routine maintenance and backup. All other systems are operating normally. If you need technical support, please send a detailed email to support at activeworlds.com. Sincerely, Activeworlds Inc." [View Quote] ferruccioJun 10, 2004, 11:37pm

the backwards system. When telling time do you say 34.10.12 for 10 hours 34
minutes 12 seconds also? ;-) "lioness." <nobody at nowhere.net> kirjoitti viestiss news:40c91b8a$1 at server1.Activeworlds.com... > No dear. 6/10/04 is the American way to display the date. ;-"D > > [View Quote] lioness.Jun 11, 2004, 12:44pm
(shrugs) What can I tell ya hon? Somebody, long, long ago invented that
system. Not me. And no.... we say "10 hours, 34 minutes and 12 seconds"... we usually do not abbreviate it. Or, at least, nobody I know abbreviates it. ;-") [View Quote] jaguar hahnJun 11, 2004, 2:44pm
Noone ever can take a joke from someone like Starfleet lol. Would be great
if it was down until October :) Jaguar Hahn [View Quote] c pJun 11, 2004, 5:14pm
hurmmm im in highschool and the way we learned it and MLA says to sue it is
MM/DD/YYYY it makes more sense to use DD/MM/YYYY because it is smallest increments to largest...but the way I am being raised its MM/DD/YYYY [View Quote] ryanJun 11, 2004, 7:58pm
I avoid the problem by not using either format. June 10, 2004 works for
me :) Ryan [View Quote] > hurmmm im in highschool and the way we learned it and MLA says to sue it is > MM/DD/YYYY > > it makes more sense to use DD/MM/YYYY because it is smallest increments to > largest...but the way I am being raised its MM/DD/YYYY [View Quote] alexthemartianJun 11, 2004, 8:35pm

I do not say either system is better, but to avoid confusion one should
start globally use one of them. dd/mm/yyyy is of course the more logical way as it goes from "small to big" and not"medium-small-big" If only locally used I do not care how people display things dm/my/ydyy or whatever, but places like internet where people attend from various places in world it can cause confusion.

Derrr I do? I try to use year-month-day,
because it is the international standard (ISO 8601). In my own country the notion is day.month.year. -- Mauz http://mauz.info rossyboyJun 14, 2004, 4:18pm
