Website Down

As I came down this morning, Helaine said, “your website isn’t there.” That’s not good. There is a nagging fear in the pit of my stomach that someday my website will go down and never come back.

Other websites hosted by the same company were down (my friend Bob’s http://www.coolwx.com, for instance) and the customer service chat was unresponsive. On my host’s backup site:

We are currently experiencing a network problem, the datacenter techs are working on the issue. It is affecting our core router.

We have no estimated time of arrival. At this time we are on the phone with the uplink provider as they are working on the issue.

We will keep on posting the updates in the forums

It’s back now, but I suppose this weekend will be the right time to do a full backup. Long overdue.
