Well apparently Valve are going to be performing maintenance to Steam later this week. The date you ask? February 4th 2010.

"Beginning at 6:00 pm Pacific time Thursday February 4th, we will be performing software maintenance on some Steam servers. We expect the resulting downtime to last three hours at most, putting the end of the window at 9:00 pm Pacific time.

Some Steam services will be offline during this time. Affected services will include the Steam Community, in-game matchmaking or lobbies, downloading games from Steam content servers, and making purchases from the Steam store. Games that do not rely on Steam matchmaking services should remain playable.

News updates and any further information will be posted in this space.

We will work to make this downtime as short as possible. Thank you for your patience!"


So relax! You may not be able to talk to your friends or purchase games for a few hours, but at least for the most part, you can still game to your heart's content.
