There was also apparently some other maintenance early this morning that only lasted about an hour according to the EU Community Forums:

This is emergency maintenance and could very well go on for days. A group of hackers gained access to the PS Home Development environment by exploiting this week's update and so Sony is making the necessary patches for Home.

So what have you been doing during the PS Home outage? Catching up some of your games? Watching any good movies? Finishing up your Christmas shopping? Putting up your Christmas tree or decorating your house?

I watched Fast 6 and Despicable Me 2 which are both great movies! I'm still sad about Paul Walker though   Despicable Me 2 is so cute! I loved the 1st one and the 2nd one was great too! The minions are so funny and cute too!

Taking my daughter & niece to go roller skating in a bit and then I'll be working a promo tonight at a new club in North Dallas

PS Home is back up! YAYS!

Tempest_Fire posted an update on the forums:
"UPDATE: Our emergency maintenance, which started Friday afternoon, has now been completed.  We found a critical bug in our latest 1.83 version, and we needed a decent amount of time to investigate and fix this issue.  

This issue has now been resolved and the client will be updated to version 1.84 upon log in to PlayStation®Home.
 
We apologize for the extended inconvenience and thank you for your patience and support."
