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.

Ok, you need to explain that one.

Is it a variation of Dancing Hands?

I'm under the impression when you get lost, dehydrated or injured you can just point to the inner chapter ring to explain what you need for help.

Whaaaaat? That is cool. I look forward to hearing how it actually works. The inner ring doesn’t look like it would rotate since that would cause a problem with the sundial at 6.

What I would really dig would be for you to use one of the pushers to cycle through the options and use another to select it. From there it could flash or beep out the message in Morse code. I am really hoping that is it as I can’t think of another practical way to use those options for something useful.

Where did you find this watch?
