Maintenance

Why do people perform maintenance on websites at prime times of the day? Just lately Joomla Forge has taken to doing it in the middle of the day, this is really annoying when you want to preview an extension or even download one.

If it must be done in the day run a mirror image locally to work on then you just update the live site which should not affect the end user.

Me: "Right I can resize everything but that means starting all over." Customer: "Can you make the font in the text box the same as the font on the images?" Me: "What font is it?" Customer: "I dunno I thought you would." Me: "But they are your images, hang on let me rummage around in my trousers I'm sure I have a crystal ball down there!"
