The following question was presented:
Due to some unforeseen circumstances we're moving house next week and then I go on holiday. The EastBayRag support team have been relocated on a temporary basis. The backup servers have been carefully packed and are ready to ship. The production server farm with the terragigamegaquads of data will be expertly brought down next Tuesday morning (removing the plug from the socket) and hopefully brought back up that evening if the new data center has been provisioned correctly and the communications equipment has been installed and is operational. The simple question is whether the move will be completed before I leave, so will there be a vote question the following week?
Results:
Yes - the system will be up and running as expected was the clear winner with 75% of the votes selected from the following:
- Yes - the system will be up and running as expected (75%)
- No - something will go wrong and won't be fixed in time (25%)

Analysis:
Well, the system was up and running, but the webmaster was a little behind schedule. I forgot to set this week's vote question so will update now. It was touch and go as when we moved in, the cable company hadn't connected the house as promised, but they fixed the issue the next day. Then there was a mix up with our electricity and we got cut off, so the website has been up and down, but is hopefully now back up on a more permanent basis.
