Well, yeah Rick, but I guess my point was to do it on CP. 
I'm having a bit of an epiphany. After 40 years of engineering/coding, I'm pretty sure most of what we do is silly. And yeah, I know those are fighting words.

My company is in the IoT business. A few years ago, at the lunch table we started chatting about how much - or little - our chips satisfied a real "need" of the world. The group around the table agreed that the world certainly could do well without what we make. We contribute to build a "need" in the market, but that is artificially created. We construct a problem for the purpose of selling a solution to it.
The one fundamental need that our products satisfy is our need for an income. Because the company can sell these chips to earn money, we receive a paycheck every month. That is the most important effect of our efforts. We really do not solve any other of the world's problems.

I have done a lot of silly things at work, mostly because of the big ego's of others, but sometimes it's better to go along and keep the peace I think

I got logged out this morning (which happened maybe twice within twenty years membership), by signing in my password was not recognized anymore, asked for a new one and the new one would not allow me to sign in neither, tried from my home computer to no avail - to this point I stopped trying since you cannot post to signal any problem without creating a new account, which is pointless.
This afternoon, everything works again.
It looks like the hamsters went on a road trip for a few hours.

Rage against the Machine - obviously!
It's working fine for me today.

OK thanks. What made me suspicious is that it failed on two different computers...

I'm constantly being logged off (on Chrome/Mac).
Not a big issue. but annoying.
Seems ok on PC.
I'd rather be phishing!

Happened to me too. I guess something went offline temporarily.

Me too (No, I'm not going to hash-tag that). When I started there was -1 active users which then changed to 0 active users. How did they know I was inactive (the camera was not switched on).

it's not only you.
i couldn't open a single link to articles on codeproject, only the main page was working. couldn't log either.
there was a 404 message "spoon not found", "Do not try and find the page. That’s impossible. Instead only try to realise the truth. There is no page"
and another 404 one, it displayed something like a ms-dos screen with the famous error listing: abort, retry, ignore, fail
it looks like it's mostly repaired now. some pages still don't work though.

Looks like the DB server(s) went down.

Apologies for the delay. Had some connectivity gremlins...
musefan was right about fed from the middle.

Flash Player is now officially dead. My flip clock screensaver no longer works. Have you noticed anything not working because of Flash's demise?

No, but I have noticed a whole load of things that are working!

Yeah. A lot of malware just lost one of their greatest attack vectors.
It won't be missed.
