As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

That floating hour is really cool, especially in the dark. Would have to get used to the monster minute hand in the daytime though. Still, an impressive design and solid movement.

I give it credit for originality, but I think I'd get tired of trying to read it after a while.
