Uh, I dunno...

Seriously, there was a database problem this weekend, and possibly also a contact problem: Not being able to reach the people we needed to reach to correct things.

We are working RIGHT NOW on trying to make certain this does NOT happen again.

Sorry for the weekend disaster.

No, we aren't hosted from that server farm (thank goodness).

Customers hosting with ThePlanet, a major Texas hosting provider, are going through some tough times. Yesterday evening at 5:45 pm local time an electrical short caused a fire and explosion in the power room, knocking out walls and taking the entire facility offline. No-one was hurt and no servers were damaged. Estimates suggest 9,000 servers are offline, affecting 7,500 customers, with ETAs for repair of at least 24 hours from onset. While they claim redundant power, because of the nature of the problem they had to go completely dark. This goes to show that no matter how much planning you do, Murphy's Law still applies.
Here's a Coral CDN link to ThePlanet's forum where staff are posting updates on the outage. At this writing almost 2,400 pelople are trying to read it.

Yeah, you got that right. (You do NOT want to know what sort of language I was using in my e-mails and voice-mails...)
