We’re Back!

17 February 2003

Well, here we are again, back online. Believe me, I’m sure I’ve missed being here more than you’ve missed me. Also, my wife, who used to complain about being a blogwidow, quickly discovered that was much better than having someone going through enforced blogwithdrawal hanging around the house.

Anyway, if you’re still here, thanks very much for your patience (and if you’re not, come back!). Also, many thanks to my good if unmet blogfriends Erin O’Connor, who posted something of mine here and here, and Dean Esmay, who allowed me to post here, for their generous open door policies for letting me post on their fine blogs. Finally, thanks to Robyn Pollman of Sekimori Design for all her help in a difficult time.

I’ve accumulated a few items to post over the past several blogless days, and I’ll be adding them shortly.

Stay tuned.

    Great to have you back, John.

    What happened? Generalized hose-up? Or something tiny, specific and lethal? Perspiring minds are sweating the details….

    I was afraid somebody would ask what went wrong. It wasn’t MovableType. It wasn’t HostingMatters, where Discriminations lives. (In fact, tech support there answered an email plea almost instantly, in the wee hours during the weekend.) In a word, it was I.

    It’s not exactly that I did something dumb. It’s that I didn’t do something everyone and his third cousin knows you’re supposed to do: monitor how much disk space on the HostingMatters server my blog was using. When the disk space I used tried to inch past the disk space allotted by my account, BLAM. It won’t happen again. Something else may, but not that.

    If it’s any consolation, Little Green Footballs ran into space issues with its provider and had to do some quick-and-dirty reallocations of resources (translation: free up some disk space, pronto) to keep running.

    And my MySQL server broke. Literally. As in “Slap a new machine in the rack, Bucky.” Nothing lost, and the site never went down, but neither comments nor updates were possible for about ten hours.
