Got Over Ourselves
| Share |
Yes we we’re a little annoyed yesterday and therefor closed the comment section for a while. We got over ourselves eventually and figured that we can’t live without your comments! You’re good to go again. And Mike, thanks for the apology email you sent us after your comments. Merry Christmas to you too.
After our aspirin breakfast and two hours of house cleaning, we remembered why parties are fun – at someone else’s house! We had friends over from 7 PM till 5 AM and had a blast, or so we were told. After 11-ish, things are a bit blurry. But apparently we’re excellent poker players when heavily intoxicated. $300 isn’t a bad catch for a couple of hours of poker 
It just about covered the cost of the booze we provided.
Here’s a picture of the crap we faced when we woke up. Too bad we can’t show you just how frigging sticky the floor was everywhere! 
Unfortunately something else we were reminded of is the importance of testing new code on your live website or blog. We went offline for a couple of hours at midnight, because there was a small typo somewhere in the awesome new statistics/tracker module the OIOPublisher plugin guys are developing. We’re lucky enough that we’ve got cool readers that ping us when there are problems. Thanks guys!
Apparently it caused a little stir, and many people are making a bigger fuss out of it then us. So we had a bit of downtime, shit happens.

Well, I wish I had alcohol intoxication to blame for being a jackass, but that’s not the case.
I’m glad the downtime was minimal and you’re back up man.
To add a little more poetic justice to the situation, I’ve been fighting with my WP powered article directory all morning trying to get the MySQL load down on my server. Apparently WordPress doesn’t handle nearly 50,000 articles very well.
Anyways… Glad all is well. Happy Holidays!
looks like you guys had a great time last night…reminds me of the blur from last night at the bars
So many bottles , i wanna count , no i cant hehehhehe
Good job, because I was seriously pissed that I couldn’t post a comment. I was thinking boycott…but you have made a wise decision.
I would have been ticked too…..I wouldn’t have shut the comments off….I’d a just told at least one of em to milk me.
How…how many people did you have over?
Love the mini-keg on the chair.
About 15 people, the amount of the empty bottles and cans in the backyard is about the same. Forgot to take a picture of that
lol, that’s one heck of a mess
That looks like the aftermath of parties from my college days. I don’t envy your hangover.
Holy crap I want to go to a Cow party.
Cmon, how smart move was that? Turing of the comments because you can’t take a little criticism from your readers? You know, you guys can really make it online but you are going to have to get a grip of where you going…
I was about to blog about how you were whining and turning off the comments, but I guess I won’t have to now.
I see someone took the song “99 Bottles of Beer On The Wall’ quite literally there.
I remember my time at a student dorm and oh well, it IS better to party at someone elses house… hopefully you locked up your sleeping rooms
some people could have jumped in to use that as a docking station. That’s not even half as funny as cleaning up that mess…
[...] moment, so is there any surprise there? There’s even a sort of “morning after” post up today, which I love. I’d love to see John Chow and Tyler Cruz and the likes talk about how [...]
wow how many bottles! great party wasn’t it? Great I’ll be drunk tomorrow, in Venezuela still being 23. Have a nice new year
I’m glad we’re homies again, right Milk Man?
The last thing I would want to do is make enemies in the blogosphere…
-Mike
p.s. You still gotta send me a 125×125 ad, so I can place you in for next month
Ha ha this story is great!!! I especially like the fact that the developer tried to digg this? I know people say any publicity is good publicity but come on…..
p.s was not having a go here, as a professional developer myself I have seen people who are fantastic programmers take out entire computer networks with rogue code. Humans, flawless we are not.
Nice to see the comments are back open
. Where was my invite 
This could be our living room every single night
…. looked like you had a great night. Merry X-Mas.
Dude! Thats one mess!!
at least you had a blast eh!! Merry Xmas from Malaysia!! 
A booze filled room….aaahhh it brings back memories Booze Commandos
Now that’s what I call a party. Can even spot a nice bottle of whisky in the back
Merry Christmas, hope the hangover isn’t too severe….
but i can’t drink
Merry X’mas
Looks like you all enjoy yourself and have a lot of fun.
Those parties are awesome! I dig having those raucous parties!
I actually threw up this morning. And now I’m at work on Christmas Day. It’s a hard life.
It’s a good thing it was the baptism of my cousin’s son. We couldn’t go out drinking. No more cleaning up to do
Hehe nice party. And Merry Christmas!
[...] Now that everyone is busy making preparations for the coming New Year and thinking how to outdo the cow’s party, this is one of the best times of the year to spruce up your blog. You don’t need to go out [...]
Hey John that is a great mess, I hope you hired someone to pick everything up.
In case you had to do it poor boy!!! The next time invite me!!!
