Friday Afternoon: one more thing 3 years ago

Okay, so the service is stabilizing.  We think this has to do with the rapidly approaching Happy Hour across the West Coast. Or people are finally pissed off at us (just kidding; you suckers will never leave us no matter how we abuse you!).

Oh, and to the guy at the coffee place: no, Twitter is not like third-world power grids.  We stay up.  Our uptime is stupidly high right now.  You can’t complain with anything less than 99.9%.  And yes, serving up the Fail Whale counts as uptime.  Geez.
