Only losers surf on a Saturday night...

Something remarkable happened to me tonight. As I was about to go to all my banking sites and other online services to change my mailing address to my new home here in Campbell California, I was met with several "sorry, but we are doing some maintenance" type messages. It was actually so fascinating that I started taking screenshots of them.

I am including four here:






I'll post more if I stumble upon them during the night.

Obviously, this is the time when these sites receive the least amount traffic. But that so many were down at the same time was really unexpected, almost a little spooky.

This reminds me of the situation when a radio station turns to commercials and you start seeking to find one with some good music instead. However, you soon realize that you can't find one, cause they all make sure to play commercial segments at the same time! That way you won't be tempted to change channels in the first place and just listen through those absolutely revolting jingles.

Ahh.. conspiracies, conspiracies...
