I'm getting 500 timeouts on Bitbucket. Didn't Google Code go read-only today? Don't you guys think Bitbucket and Github might be having issues due to people migrating off of Google Code at the last minute?

Basically what my lawyer told me was that... 1.) He could lay me off for not signing. 2.) If he ever tried to sue me over it that anything it said was pretty much worthless. As a full time employee I had 3 years of history working there.
