Guys - as you may know, the site has been having some issues since yesterday evening. The data center where our site is hosted had a power outage due to some idiot cutting a line. The data center is equipped w/ UPS and a diesel generator - however, the cut was made inside the grid, so none of that worked.

They have spent the last 24 hours trying to get power restored and then they have to reboot each and every server in the building (thousands!). Each time they reboot a machine and try to get it online, it bogs down the rest of the network.

So, for the next day or two - things are going to be extremely slow here. You may experience time outs, general slowness, or not be able to access the site at all.

Rest assured that our host is working on it and I am communicating with them often.

I hope they cut you a break on this months invoice. At least I know I'm not going crazy though.
Lator....
