Since Geocities is shutting down soon, please let me know if you find any broken
links or know where any Geocities sites will be reopening so that I can keep our
Links section updated.
Thanks!
Beth

On Monday, April 13th, 2009 Yahoo! Groups will undergo scheduled maintenance.
During this time your group will be unavailable for 30-60 minutes.
The outage is currently scheduled to begin at 1 pm PT, 8 pm GMT. At this time,
1/4 of all Yahoo! Groups will become unavailable while the team services these
groups. Once maintenance is complete on that 1/4 of Groups, they will be made
available again, and the next 1/4 will become unavailable until all of the
groups have been serviced.
In total the maintenance period should last around 5 hours, with the maintenance
concluding around 6 pm PT, midnight GMT.
While your group is being serviced, all features of your group, including
messages, photos, attachments, etc. will be completely unavailable. However,
once your outage time concludes, your group and all of its features should
return and any messages that were posted to the group via email during this
downtime will be sent out. Please note that your group's outage should only last
around an hour.
In an effort to better communicate to all of you, a blast message will be posted
to all groups starting today and continuing on through April 13th, 2009, linking
to this message on the blog. This blast message is visible on all groups to all
members and moderators.
Thank you for your patience—during the outage, the blog (http://www.ygroupsb
log.com) will remain up (and comments will remain open) and we will update you
all as information becomes available.

Subject: [moderatorcentral] Update on Recent Groups Issues
To: moderatorcentral@yahoogroups.com
Date: Thursday, March 26, 2009, 6:50 PM
Over the past week we know that some of you have experienced problems with your
groups (both on the web and with email delivery). These issues were/are the
result of a recent data center move, which we blogged about on the 19th. (Read
that post here: http://www.ygroupsb log.com/blog/ 2009/03/19/ even-groups-
gets-the- hiccups/)
As part of this move, we had also upgraded to higher performance hardware, but
the upgrade didn't work out as planned. The team has been working to resolve
these issues and stabilize your experience, and we're cautiously optimistic that
we'll have Yahoo! Groups back to normal before the weekend.
That said, we'll definitely still be monitoring the system closely, and we
encourage you to keep checking the Yahoo! Groups blog (http://www.ygroupsb
log.com) for the latest updates if you experience further problems.
In addition, we've definitely learned some things from this incident (and from
the feedback folks have been sharing about how we could better communicate) ,
and we'll blog about the specific steps we're planning to take in the area of
better communication around system issues next week.
We know-I know -that this past week or so has been rough, and we apologize for
all the inconvenience the problems have caused you and your groups. We can and
will do better in the future.

And now that I've watched a couple episodes? I can definitely say that it's
worth trying out.
It's light, fun, entertaining. The whole cast is good, really, and Max looks
lovely in it :)
Peace & Love,

This is available to watch instantly on Netflix if you're a subscriber, so I
decided to check it out today.
I have to admit... it was hard for me to get through. I enjoy a good weird
movie. For me, this one was trying for the chaotic coherence of something like A
Life Less Ordinary (interesting since I've always seen Max and Ewan McGregor as
a bit similar in terms of their style), but it just... it got a little TOO weird
for its own good. It would get to odd and offbeat and then feel the need to take
it a step further.
Also? It could have been shorter. It felt as if it dragged on much longer than
was necessary. I think some judicious editing might've made this movie more fun
- given it the kind of quirky lightness they were really trying for.
I don't know. GREAT performance by Max. Honestly, wonderful. The movie just
comes across as a bit chaotic. They can't decide whether they're making
Trainspotting or an oddball black comedy, and the movie overall suffers for it.
Peace & Love,
Beth

He's apparently filming an episode of something called "Survivors" according to
the IMDB
(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0066586/). It is described as being in the sci-fi
genre, but
no real other info is given. It is, however, apparently an updated/remake of a
1975 movie by
the same name (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072572/).
Interesting!
Peace & Love,
Beth
Entirely off topic for some lists, only partly off topic for others. This is
just a general plug to remind folks that I run all kinds of lists, both general
mailing list and roleplaying lists. If you might be interested in either, you
can check out the full run-down at
http://www.biteyourtongue.net/daydream/mysites.html and don't hesitate to ask
any questions you might have.
Peace & Love,
Beth

Just in case anyone ever needs me on short notice, most weekdays (I'm in the
U.S. in the central time zone), you can get me via IM. I'm generally at work,
but I still usually reply pretty promptly. I'm on YIM under the username
star_momma. Just put in the note what list you're from and then I'll probably be
able to put together who you are in my head. lol
Peace & Love,

I've moved all images and info from the site to the list :) All pictures are now
available in the
Photos section. Have pictures that aren't up? Add them! See missing links? Put
them up! The
more the merrier.
Peace & Love,
Beth
Because I'm much better at updating lists than sites, I will be moving all site
content from
Max Factor (http://www.biteyourtongue.net/max) to the list here and eventually
closing the
site down. I will likely leave the guestbook up and running along with an
explanation and link
to this list so that no one gets lost in the transfer. So in the meantime, there
will be lots of
new content here!
Peace & Love,
Beth

No, I hadn't seen it yet... very neat! I'm definitely intrigued by this one. I
doubt I'll get to see it in the theater, but I hope that some of us do so that
we can get some reviews :)
Peace & Love,
Beth
I just made folders in the Files section for both fan fiction (about any of
Max's characters) and
articles & clippings. I think I may have one or two to scan and share somewhere,
so I'll have
to see if I can find them and get them up :)
Peace & Love,
Beth

Thanks for the release date info! It definitely looks
like an interesting movie, so hopefully it'll make the
rounds out here :)
Peace & Love,
Beth
