But thanks to our ISP we had 30 min. network down in the datacenter. I wonder how common is the "2 January effect"? Possible explanation: - So, where have we finished last time? - Last year we have prepared everything for a server upgrade. - Shall we finally upgrade it now? - Yeah, the very first upgrade in the new 2007 year! And here it goes! .... - Shit. Our servers (http://www.wikidot.com) have been running for a few months without a serious glitch. But thanks to our ISP we had 30 min. network down in the datacenter.

I haven't been able to post at all, although there was plenty to write about. We're upgrading yet again, and should be back online in a little while.
