You've got to love it! Just tried to log in to adwords and the page states:

AdWords will be offline for 10 minute(s) beginning immediately.

I mean, that's surreal! How come it didn't happen a minute before I logged in, or a minute after I logged out. Why at that exact moment in time? Is that a coincidence or what...? Has adwords been waiting all evening to tell me that?

What if I'd logged in tomorrow; would it have fallen asleep by then with me catching it unawares ("Damn, we missed him...!")?

Even better, directly underneath the message is the strapline:

Start gaining customers in less than 15 minutes

So that means in under 5 minutes you can log in, set up your copy, enter keywords, sort out cpc's and get your ads online. I'm impressed...

LOL!

Think I'll try again before the 10 minutes are up and see if it's some sort of time warp...

Well, yes actually.

I've gone sleepless with my finger poised over the button, waiting for you to login, Syzygy. ;)

OK. No, not really.

Sometimes you just get lucky, I guess. ;)
