Perhaps the load-up on the 13th was this and they waited til the 14th in every part of the world ... No the the servers were issuing work from around 1700 UTC on 14th which was 4am on 14th even in the thirteenth time zone .... unless maybe to be prudent thay allowed a four hour safety margin? ![]() |

There is a sea story about the Friday the 13th ... To disprove that it was bad luck, this group commissioned a ship to be built on Friday the 13th, laid the keel on a Friday the 13th, launched it on a Friday the 13th, put it into service on Friday the 13th, it sailed on a Firday the 13th ... Neveer heard from again ... :) |
