FYI.
In the future, I will will be sending out a Tweet or two when working on optimizing the site database or other admin tasks which might cause site performance problems.
For example, when I optimize the database (normally on the weekend) there can be a fairly serious site slow down for around 3 to 5 minutes.
Members and guests who cannot access the site and post, feel free to contact me on Twitter (or follow me) regarding the site.
However, if the site is up and running, which it is 99.99999 percent of the time, please post questions, issues, or bugs here in the forums.
In addition, I will also be posting periodic updates related to my cyberspace research there as well.
I've been having a problem connecting to the forum. I know it is just something with my computer but I have no idea what it is. It started last week.
Every time I connect I get this:

YESTERDAY(1) General Commands Manual YESTERDAY(1)NAME
yesterday - print file names from the dump
SYNOPSIS
yesterday [ -c ] [ -date ] files ...
DESCRIPTION
Yesterday prints the names of the files from the most recent dump. Since dumps are done early in the morning, yesterday's files are really
in today's dump. For example, if today is March 17, 1992,
yesterday /adm/users
prints
/n/dump/1992/0317/adm/users
In fact, the implementation is to select the most recent dump in the current year, so the dump selected may not be from today.
With option -c, yesterday copies the dump file to the current directory.
The date option selects other day's dumps, with a format of 2, 4, 6, or 8 digits of the form dd, mmdd, yymmdd, or yyyymmdd.
Yesterday does not guarantee that the string it prints represents an existing file.
EXAMPLES
Back up to yesterday's MIPS binary of vc:
cd /mips/bin
yesterday -c vc
Temporarily back up to March 1's MIPS C library to see if a program runs correctly when loaded with it:
bind `{yesterday -0301 /mips/lib/libc.a} /mips/lib/libc.a
rm v.out
mk
v.out
FILES
/n/dump
SOURCE
/rc/bin/yesterday

It's hard to use this command without singing.
