We are having problems with one of our central databases. This was caused by the power outtage that we experienced this afternoon. Our Admins are currently looking into this matter. Everything will be up and running shortly. Again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
UPDATE: Webmail is still currently having […]

This note came from our building just now:
The Garland Building experienced a dead short which resulted in a
brief power outage today, July 28, 2006. The air conditioning,
elevators, and the electrical utility have all been restored.
While on generator power, a dead short occurred from one of our

Update 10:05pm: bob’s up and running on new hardware, if you’ve got any sites hosted on bob that […]

The root cause of the slow website access and general sluggish performance of our servers has been isolated to one of our core routers. The router is not doing its job properly and we are in communication with Cisco about it. We may end up performing emergency maintenance to restore full functionality but […]

Many of you have been writing in to say that you’re still having problems with your site speed and email connections. We’re still experiencing intermittent difficulties with NFS traffic and high loads on our web and mail servers as a result of the recent filer and power problems that we’ve documented here. Our […]
