Yes, the site was down

It was a series of circumstances that conspired to become three or four hours of downtime. So you must all check in twice as often when you read this post to make up for the stats I lost.

It was an Apache glitch on the server, caused by a SQL glitch in my database, which caused the server to accuse my blog of being a CPU hog (which it isn’t) and make it look like I haven’t paid my bill (which I have).

I may have to, oh, I dunno, sue the server for defamation or something. Can you sue a computer?

Anyway, I went to synagogue tonight, because our new rabbi is here while our departing rabbi is on vacation for the next week or two, and I didn’t have time to stay on the phone and tell the nice people at Bluehost that their server was lying about me. But they fixed it mighty quick when I finally got the chance to call. And the nice gentleman on the line said, “On a Friday night, you really should call first. We don’t have a lot of staff.” I explained that I would have called, if it had not been a Friday night. I think I confused him.

But again. Fixed now.

    Ever notice that IT people tend to communicate much better with computers than they do other people?

    There are two kinds of people in the world, those who add 1+1 and get 2, and those who add 1+1 and get 10.

    Michael, you forgot the third type, those who add 1 + 1 ad get 11.
