In 2001, I was on the drumline in my High-School marching band. I remember practice on September 11. We had a routine to learn, competitions to win. The band director did not allow us to sit idly and watch TV the whole day... We had fricking work to do, goals to meet.... He also said that the best thing for us to keep our minds off the tragedy was to keep focused on our work.

I'm just sayin', that's all. I understand shutting down the servers to save energy, but get back to Fricking work or you could lose your job. SE's Net worth is already down 26% from what it was on Sep 27th 2010.
