Wikipedia down after server meltdown

[UPDATE: It appeared that Wikipedia was back online as of about 4:30 p.m. ET.]
Wikipedia was offline Wednesday afternoon after an overheating problem at the online encyclopedia's European data center.
Wikipedia's technical blog said the site's servers shut themselves down to avoid damage from the heat.
Administrators tried to shift traffic to a cluster of servers in Florida, but "it turned out that this failover mechanism was now broken, causing the DNS resolution of Wikimedia sites to stop working globally," according to the blog.
"This problem was quickly resolved, but unfortunately it may take up to an hour before access is restored for everyone, due to caching effects," the blog said.
Trying to access wikipedia.com and wikipedia.org at about 2:45 p.m. ET produced a navigation error message.
One post to Wikipedia's technical blog, by a user named Jimmy, found some humor in the situation: "And so we remember Thursday, March 25, 2010 as the day every English speaking student failed their research papers."

Michael Prager’s ComingNext v1.25 s60v5 Download

ComingNext is a calendar homescreen widget for the Nokia N97. It sports a dual panel mode where each panel can display 4 upcomming events. The widget can be customized to your needs easily
The widget ties into your device’s calendar to show up to 4 upcoming entries right there on your homescreen. The .zip file includes 2 copies of the widget, too, so that you can have up to 8 upcoming entries, which is freakin sweet.

The best part of ComingNext, though, is the vast amount of user-changeable settings available. You can click the image to the right to see the full list of settings. As you can see, not only can you control the various colors and labels and whatnot, but you can also change whichcalendar application the widget launches! This means if you use a more powerful calendar application, like SBSH Calendar or Handy Calendar, you can program ComingNext to launch that, rather than the default built-in calendar application
changelog
You can now use the “ComingNext Skin Fetcher” tool to generate a background based your currently used theme & wallpaper. You can use it like this:

install “ComingNext Skin Fetcher” on your phone
start it on your phone and click on “Generate”. It will ask you for the positions of the ComingNext widgets on the homescreen.
In the ComingNext widget, enable the “use background image” option and set “background image location” to “external”
Change-log

fixed reoccurring events not beeing shown
added “check for updates” feature
added “ComingNext Skin Fetcher v1.1″ tool
support for external background images (useful in combination with the new skin fetcher tool). With this, you won’t need to modify the widget anymore to use a custom background image
added portuguese-brazilian translation by Flavio Nathan

Eugenia Chernyshova and Quetin Tarantino: An Item?

Eugenia Chernyshova and Quentin Tarantino were seen out in LA last night bumpin' and grinding in LA. The model and director were looking mighty cozy as they danced the night away, according to TMZ.


Eugenia Chernyshova and Quentin Tarantino (TMZ.com)
Though the director has been linked with plenty of leading ladies, like Mira Sorvino, Julie Dreyfuss, and Kathy Griffin, he's never been married and doesn't have any little ones. He said (via ContactMusic.com): "I'm not saying that I'll never get married or have a kid before I'm 60. But I've made a choice, so far, to go on this road alone. Because this is my time to make movies.

He was apparently in a relationship with an unknown woman a few years ago, but things didn't work out. Tarantino said it was ultimately for the best. He said: "If (his recent romance) had happened, I wouldn't have made Inglourious Basterds. Or I wouldn't have made it with the same intensity. And it wouldn't be finished now. "

When does Daylight Saving Time Begin in 2010?

Or, when does Standard Time end?

The answer:  it depends.

The United States, Canada and some other countries (such as Saint Pierre & Miquelon and Turks & Caicos Islands) extended Daylight Savings Time in 2007. The new start date for DST is the second Sunday in March (previously the first Sunday in April) through to the first Sunday in November (previously the last Sunday in October).

That is March 14, 2010.

You can thank (or blame) President Bush  for signing into law a broad energy bill that extended Daylight Saving Time by four weeks starting in 2007.  Those four extra weeks were supposed to bring massive savings in energy bills.

But now that I’m in Italy, Daylight Savings begins on March 28, 2010 (the last Sunday in March).  In fact, since 1996, European Summer Time is standard across the EU.

So for two weeks, the time difference to North America will be off by an hour!  So watch those conference calls!

Exceptions to the Rule in North America (and elsewhere)

In Canada, the majority of Saskatchewan and parts of north-eastern British Columbia do not observe DST but instead stay on “standard time” all year long.

In the USA, Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Nation), Hawaii, the territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa are the only places in the USA that do not observe DST.

Other unusual DST in the northern hemisphere for 2010 are:

Cuba
DST starts Sunday, March 14 – DST ends Sunday, October 31

Egypt
2009: DST starts Friday, April 24 – DST ends Friday, August 21

No DST in 2010

Iran
DST starts Monday, March 22 – DST ends Wednesday, September 22 (always on the 22rd)

Iraq
No DST in 2010

Israel
DST starts Friday, March 26 – DST ends Sunday, September 12

Jordan
DST starts Friday, March 26 – DST ends Friday, October 29

Morocco
2009: DST starts Monday, June 1 – DST ends Friday, August 21

No DST in 2010

Pakistan
DST starts Thursday, April 15 – DST ends Thursday, November 1

Syria
DST starts Friday, March 26 – DST ends Friday, October 29

Effects Similar to Time Zone Travels by Air

The one hour time difference, either from Standard Time to Daylight Savings Time, or traveling though several time zones makes a difference on your sleep patterns. At least temporarily.

Daylight Savings Time will create an adjustment period, similar to long distance travel (cross country or overseas), as it could take up to one day per time zone traveled. My advice is to try to fight it right away, even if it means a few groggy mornings. It’s really mind over matter.

Effects of Sleep

I already wrote about the Humans’ Natural Circadian Rhythm Disrupted By Daylight Savings Time several years ago.

If you feel 8 hours of sleep makes you a zombie, be sure to read The Best Method to Sleep using your REM cycleand understand why 6, 7.5 or 9 hours of sleep is better.

Or, in my case, how I survive on 6 hours of sleep or sometimes 4.5 hours a night!

The First Day of Spring in 2010

The First Day of Spring in 2010  : March 1 – the first day of spring. At last! The cold winter is over, the weather changed for the better. When you write these words, I myself hiding from the sun bright. It’s already so hot outside (it’s not usually).
Next spring!
We are making plans for the future, and we are waiting for the best! So, let’s enjoy this beautiful season, because it will help a lot to become, or to a person, to remain optimistic, as is the case in the nature of awakening.
In an effort to notice all the beauty that he and those who can not enjoy the good weather at the moment, do not be upset – it’s just the beginning!
I wish you all have spring in your soul and warmth and light in your hearts, as well – lots and lots of happiness and love!
