Normally I get 500 bucks a week. Not today.

What happened?

Edit: I want to add that normally in the Central Time Zone, US, The Pay comes in around 3am-4am. Not today.

Edit2: Harry Linden has news below, no bug reports needed.

The stipend processing has been temporarily delayed this morning, rest assured you will receive your stipend.

Would it be possible to be more concrete thus more reassuring? Will it be run today, or will it be run tonight at 2300 LST, or some other time?

As poster #2 notes above, there are repercussions to this delay; I know I wouldn't want to have to explain to my landlord "Really, I haven't spent my rent money on vSmack, I just didn't get paid this week yet; really!" Multiply that by some largish number of renters and you've got much upheaval.

Plus, baby needs new shoes!

They have a little bit more data on the Linden announcements. They are investigating and will get it to us ASAP :)

Don't laugh. It could be true.
