What a day!
It’s too late to go into this now, but it’s been one hell of a day! It all started yesterday evening when the BritBlog server decided to die. It took a power-cycle to bring it back.
Then, early in the morning, a small server I rent from 1 and 1 internet was disabled. Turned out the credit card they had on record for me had expired, so instead of letting me know that they couldn’t renew they just went and disabled the server. Great. Took me ~ 11 hours to get that one back up. Not good. 1 and 1 are not in my good books at the moment.
To finish it all off, the server that handles my mail and some other web sites (including this one) decided to die too! Bah! I couldn’t believe it!
On the plus side it gave my web site monitoring a good testing, and I’m almost please to say that I got a text alert for every single failure. If only they hadn’t been in the middle of the night…
With luck tomorrow will be a bit more peacful
