I thought I was going to have to leave my engine running the whole time on the way home tonight.

Did the servers get overloaded from too many posts trying to win the Birthday prizes?

Sorry everyone... The chain broke on the pedal powered generator.
I'll be interested to hear from the hosting co. what that was all about. I don't think we've been offline for that long in many years. |

Glad I didn't have to go through a second day of quivering under the blankets in a dark room.  |

I almost took a day off from work - It was hard to leave home without reading EM to my breakfast. Once I got there, I was not very efficient - constantly wondering whether EM will be waiting for me when I return home.

Unfortunately, the explanation wasn't very, uh, satisfying.
The server ran out of memory, so it slowed to nearly a stop but didn't crash. So the two automated methods the admins use to monitor for crashes (scheduled pings & http requests) didn't sound any alarms. They weren't able to determine what caused it to suddenly eat up RAM.
If it had crashed, they would have known about it right away. Unfortunately, the admin didn't see the email I sent him that night.
The good: they're going to revise the monitoring approach. Also, this was the first blip in service we've had in over 600 days.
Still, that was a long outage.

I thought the local authorities were censoring my downloads.
All my usual sites were working except for Ecomodder.
It wasn't all bad. There's always a distraction here in Cabo San Lucas. December here is enticing.

You don't read Ecomodder while quivering under a blanket?
