IIS blackout - how did you cope?
I had major withdrawal symptoms. It was like being locked in a dark room with no windows...

I was uploading Astrofest photos when it went down.
I felt so guilty, it was like I had broken it.

I had no real bother
I checked around 6:00 AM and it wasn't working
I have spent 9 hours rectifying some errors in the stellarium user guide. checked about every hour
and have just tried again and there it is.

PS hotmail has been out for about the same period too.

After the initial bout of rising panic and terror had subsided, I had a blinding insight; I was born before the PC was invented and lived many happy, eventful and fulfilling years before the advent of the internet, thus these adornments did not pre-date my existence. Therefore they are not necessary for my well-being and survival, nor do they validate who I am, whereupon a most amazing calm washed over me and I was totally at peace. Until I hit the refresh button then the panic returned.
Cheers

I was busy on the IIS fb page- some of you should've visited to help the withdrawal symptoms.
Had done a large write up there on the latest very bright Nova in our skies so that kept me busy & still in the IIS loop .

I as usual thought it was my computer/server as I am on Satellite and subject too frequent slowness and cutouts.
It was only after checking with the Astrochicks Suzy and Jeanette that I was relieved.
Spent lots of time on the FB iceinspace page with info of the NOVA in Delphinus, so was still in touch with my iceinspace roots
