I know it must be 11:00PM Central when...

...I try to check my posts, and ScubaBoard seems to be hung. Time comes to a grinding halt for 5 minutes!

I've discovered that it starts responding again around 11:06.

I also noticed while I was waiting for my new posts page to come up, that I always get my daily ScubaBoard email during this time.

So, I think to myself... could the two be related?

No it's all your fault.

There was a lot of scheduled maintenance at Midnight Eastern. I have rescheduled some of those functions to spread them out over the night... Instead of all at once.

FWIW, the server decided to take its nap at 12:34 am Eastern on Monday morning (or was it Sunday). My vague impression is that the pause wasn't as long as in the past when it was as 12:03. Meant to try to observe at least on more instance before reporting, but haven't been conscious at the right time since. I realize this might not be a terribly high priority for you guys doing the work, but thought I'd mention it so that you at least have the information.

This is possibly not related to the previous quirk. If it continually happens... then it could be.
