 | 11:05 am - Fic - Maternal Instincts - Roshaun, Dairine, the Motherboard
Title: Maternal Instincts
Pairing: Dairine/Roshaun
Rating: G
Summary: Roshaun never got to meet Dairine's mother, but he has met the Motherboard. Ficlet set during WAW while Dairine and Roshaun are on the mobile's world.
Author’s Note: The quote in the cut is my botched remembrance of something said by the Winged Defender in High Wizardry (or just maybe by Brigid in A Wizard Abroad -- I hate not having my books with me!). The quote at the end of the fic is text from Wizards at War.
( When you want to protect something, call in a Mother. )

 | 10:40 am - Not Here Right Now - Tom/Carl
Title: Not Here Right Now
Pairing: Tom/Carl
Rating: PG
Summary: Fluff ficlet. Tom complains about getting out of bed on a Saturday morning.
Author’s Note: Written at the same time as Naming but never posted because at the time I thought I might just tackle a larger T/C work that both these pieces would be a part of. In my mental timeline, this story occurs when Tom and Carl are a year or two out of university and living together in an apartment in New York.

E.T.A Since Fred is alive this is obviously AU. Ages of grandkids have been changed for ease of storytelling (and so I didn't have to try to figure them out from what little I could find). Also, George's eldest was named Fabian since Fred was still alive.

 | 01:15 pm - Notification System
**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**
So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.
And finally some answers to some questions:
