PowerMedium had some sort of network and/or power outage for about an hour from circa 19:20 UTC. We've been working on getting things back online since power and network became available again.
Will post more about cause when we know more.
We've got a guy at the colo helping out and Kyle's in there also. Unless there are other major problems we should be back online soon.
Argh - For the 20th time over the last 3 years: CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE PUT A DONATION FORM ON THE WIKIDOWN PAGE!!!
Presenting tens of thousands of people with a donation link that WE KNOW WILL NOT WORK WHEN THE MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED not only looks stupid, but is preventing many thousands of potential donations.
Please, do something: we are pissing away thousands of dollars of potential donations and looking like fools in the process.
Also, if we have a donation form, then these outages would be mostly self-correcting since the extra revenue will help us to add more redundancy to the system so we can at least go read only until we are completely back up.
