i love etsy.
it's been growing incredibly fast. several times in the last couple of week the site has been down for scheduled maintenance--upgrading server architecture, making room for more pictures, etc. this is all good. :-) However. last night's scheduled maintenance, which was expected to cause the site to be down from about 12:30am to about 4:30 am had some unexpected difficulties, and it's JUST NOW coming back up.

this has caused me to realize that i'm completely and totally addicted to etsy. the constant refreshing of the page (to see if it was up and running yet) has caused a rather disturbing case of carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. :-(

it would have been nice to think that i'd have used the time in some sort of productive manner. well, i did, but not to the degree i could have. i did get a small amount of laundry done, took a shower, and skeined some yarn. but geez, i wasted a lot of time clicking the refresh button.

i'm guessing that now that the site is back, all the people wanting to log on at the same time is going to cause it to crash. lol.
