Internet Reboot Today at 11.59UTC



by Craig Buckler
As you may have heard in the news, the Internet will be rebooted today and is expected to be down for around one minute. A global consortium of ISPs and technology companies has called for the action following several periods of instability over the past few years.
A spokesman for the group commented:

People forget that the Internet has been running continuously since the 1970s. This reboot will provide greater stability for years to come. We’re also hoping it will result in fewer viagra and scam messages.

The plans have been meticulous and all information will be backed up to CD and tape drives. No one should lose data as a result of the reboot, but everyone is advised to:

1. Convert 1 April 11.59am UTC to their local time using a tool such as The World Clock Time Zone Converter.
2. Shut down all Internet applications such as web browsers, email clients, and instant messengers shortly before the reboot.
3. Wait at least a minute before restarting any applications.

The process is especially hazardous for the Internet technicians handling the restart. One specialist - who wished to remain anonymous - told us:

Some of the equipment down there is nearly 40 years old. There are missing fuses, exposed wires and unterminated cables: it will be dangerous.
Anyone surfing the net or sending a large email attachment at 11.59 could easily electrocute one of my team.

How will your company handle the reboot downtime? Is the reboot necessary? Do you think it should have been done sooner? Let us know your opinions, but please be careful when you send them

Just how many eggs do you handle every day cathy?? I had 18 this morning, & none of them would go to you 'cos you'd had them!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Love the April fools wokkies I got one from Ascot!

“Frankly, these chaps have been getting away with some pretty blatant abuses of the dress code in recent years and enough is enough,” said Charles Barnett, Chief Executive at Ascot.

“Some of them go out to ride in all sorts of stripy or spotty outfits and I know we’ve had some silly hats here in the past, but coloured helmets are just a step too far.”

This year, the jockeys will be required to wear full morning dress on arrival, in the parade ring and whilst riding.

“We were a little surprised when Mr Barnett came to us with this suggestion,” said David Vecchi, Head of Moss Bros Hire, “and we’re going to have to look at the sizes we stock, but we welcome the spirit of the idea.

“We already had the Royal Ascot Collection but we’ve now made a new micro-sized aerodynamic morning suit, which we believe will be extremely popular in the weighing room.”
