A number of Apache, memcache, and external storage boxes went down a bit ago, presumed due to a breaker flip or other power failure. As a result we've temporarily put the site to read-only, since there's intermittent failures and massive slowness.
They seem to be coming up now since we contacted the colo, and Rob's going in now to do a final check on things.
Postmortem will come when we know more.
