Sorry, I wasn't looking at the calendar when I wrote that. It will be Tuesday, unless, of course, you're one of the Australian, New Zealand or Japanese readers, or similar.

That brings to mind all sorts of prejudices about Americans and geography. 11:30 Eastern is Midnight "Newfie time", 04:30 Wednesday in the UK, 05:30 in most of Europe and so on. It is the time I get up on the morning on workdays.

Don't I recall that the actual servers are in Utah somewhere? If that's the case, they're in Mountain (I think,) which, at least for the techs doing the work, puts it at 8:30pm -- much more reasonable than hanging out until the middle of the night.

Ah, the joys of the Internet and the global.. whatever it is.
