An Outage

Post by Sharkey »

For those of you who were wondering what happened with the site this morning, the answer is pretty mundane.

The server farm where the machine that contains this site lost it's internet connection.

What's the big deal, this happens to me at home all the time?

Imagine a big equipment room filled with racks of expensive servers all sitting idle because someone forgot to pay the Comcast bill (or whatever).

Fortunately, I didn't have to "do" anything. Once the IP was turned back on, everything came back to life on it's own.

I didn't notice anything wrong, ignorance must be bliss! I am technolgically challenged anyway, so things like this sorta' go right on over my head unnoticed by me!
