Server Downtime

Sorry about the downtime -- it turns out that storms and thunder and lightning make the power in Brookline, MA go away for a short bit. Thank goodness for the wonder of uninterruptible power supplies and graceful shutdowns...

Hey, I know a guy who knows a bunch of people who also know a bunch of people, who know a whole bunch more people, one of whom most certainly knows you, Grod. How 'bout that, eh? :)

Anyone ever notice how speedy the site is right after it comes back online, before most people have realized it and the traffic goes back up?

If you need to relocate the server again, may I reccommend The Troll Capitol of the World...
