… were entirely due to a technical hitch. Admittedly a walloping great big technical hitch which lasted 3 days and was only resolved by the site being moved a new server and the Domain Name Server records being updated. But as of 11.30 pm on Monday, the site is working again. What time you get to see it live once more depends on how slowly the new DNS information spreads around t’internet.
Still, the sense of panic, bewilderment and deprivation the 3 day outage instilled has set me wondering about little things like dependency, addiction and the whole quality of life issue…
By the way, if anyone emailed me between Friday night 16/11/07 and now you will probably have to send it again. Yes, email went as well.
[20/11/07 – and now comments are working again after some server level tweaking. Thanks for the tip off, John. Any other problems people come across, please let me know, but it seems OK now.]
Having recently suffered an ‘outage’ myself (although not as long as yours), I think you may have a point regarding the dependency/addiction/quality of life issue…
