Server Downtime

Posted by Stropp on March 6, 2007

If you’ve tried to access this site over the last day, you’ve probably noticed that you couldn’t.

It turns out that last night (my time) a couple of hours after I had finished writing up the Lord of the Rings Online – Beta Glimpse 1 and had gone to bed, the hosted server had some sort of catastrophic failure. I’m not sure exactly what happened. It was bad enough to require around eighteen hours to repair and rebuild, and the storage device was trashed.

I know this because when it finally came back up a little while ago, the Lord of the Rings Online – Beta Glimpse 1 article I had spent at least an hour writing was gone. Doh!

Fortunately, Bloglines had the article in its cache and I was able to copy and paste it into wordpad and from there restore the article, with a few minor adjustments. I reposted it a few minutes ago.

In any case, my apologies if you tried to access Stropp’s World today and couldn’t. Hopefully it will be all smooth sailing from here on out.
