Site’s back up

July 3rd, 2009

The site is back up. Hooray.

One of the perils of cloud computing: if something goes wrong on the underlying hardware, you’re several layers of abstraction from being able to fix it. Ugh.

Anyway, one of the machines at Slicehost went down, which happened to be holding my web1 server. When the server went down ungracefully, it corrupted some of the files. So, I waited for Slicehost to rebuild the underlying machine, then I rebuilt my server. It wasn’t too bad: a little fsck goes a long way.

Thanks for your patience.
