Kolvacs, it's clear that you feel bad about it, and that's good. People are coming down on you because it's a bit like if you found out where someone you admired lived, you showed up at his house. It doesn't matter that "he doesn't have to let you in." The point is it's invasive.

I'm not trying to give you a further hard time; just trying to help you understand why people are jumping on you for it.

It's all good.

It's definitely worth getting an authenticator. You can use a single authenticator across multiple accounts, if you want. They're free for iPhone or iPod-touch, as well as some Java-enabled phones. If you don't have a fancy phone, it's $6.50 for the keyfob style token.

My wife and I got authenticators after her WoW account got keylogged (frigging Adobe Flash vulnerabilities) and in two years of using them have had zero issues. It takes 5 seconds longer to log in, well worth it.

This.
Is it possible to do newbie Tuesday not on Tuesday?

Yeah, that wasn't clear to me either. Either way I'll just leave the stream running on my netbook while I play :p

He picked up just 2 gold-level replays for his first 'newbie tuesday' cast without bothering to watch them, got on to start setting stuff up like 5 minutes before he was set to go live, then proclaimed, 'If only blizzard wouldn't have patched today!' there at the end before shutting down the show.

We all knew about the patch today -- Sean just cut some corners when it came to preparing for it and we ended up daily-less for tonight.

I love everything Day[9]'s been doing with SC2 -- his show, the KotB, IEM, all of his stuff with djWheat, his TL submissions -- it's all good stuff. The dude is a baller, and obviously has love for 'the viewership' (who, by the way, kick ass to Benny Hill on a daily basis) -- that's why I'm sure that after tonight's little incident, Day[9] will be a little more vigilant when it comes to preparing the daily.

Using your computer is rough when you've got 10,000 people watching you... lol

Hell yeah Day[9]. Just wanted to let you know, you saved my gaming soul with Daily #100. No longer hiding behind "nothing" when asked what I did Friday night.

Also, you, your brother, and especially your mum sound like incredible people.

Hehe this reminds me of admin battles in mIRC, that was a lot of fun, but less risky :D

ARE YOU CHANGELING

This was my first thought - if the password was the same or similar to his TL password, some imposter might be here posing as Day[9]! Lord 9, I hate to ask, but we're gonna need a blood sample.

They should just make it like beta again so you can load replays without logging on...

To be fair NZO, replays made before the patch won't work properly :p

No, the admins in the Ustream chat keep telling us to come back tomorrow. I don't blame him, I wouldn't continue the daily tonight either if it was me. My guess is that he'll record this some other time and upload it to blip.

Well that's a relief. I was so worried!

Just as an aside, was anyone else unable to do anything but refresh this thread until he got confirmation that everything was ok?
Yeah I'm a big sissy.

But I applaud your efforts Sean, what you do has been so helpful to me and so many other players. Thank you so much and good luck for the rest of the damage control.
