The Longest Now

It’s been one of those weeks.  Wikipedia went down, down, down, down. 
Stayed down for a day through a painful rollback process… and was
slow for the next week.  Two weeks later, and it’s still
recovering (weekly stats and RecentChanges IRC bots have yet to be
rerun).  A highly reliable read-only solution would be awfully
useful…

 Everyone is talking about the [Model] UN and WSIS these days, but the latter still don’t have name recognition among 99% of the world’s population.

But other projects seem to be speeding along; Cyberarts, stay-in
earphones, astronomy.  As for days, once you make it to the third
straight day, everything inevitably starts to fall into place. 
Never fails.

Days and weeks …
