Poor grid, didn't like not having its regular scheduled shutdown on a Wednesday so the asset server decided to shat itself instead to give us a break.
You do realise, of course, that this is part of Linden Lab's environmental policy? Whilst the grid is down, servers aren't under load and thus consume less power. Tens of thousands of computers also get switched off around the world as residents are forced to find other forms of entertainment in this scary 'real life' place. Globally, that's a lot of reduced carbon.
