So I haven't been able to check my email all day long, and my website has been MIA. D

Damn that Verio! I sent them an email asking what happened to my server, it was obviously down ALL MORNING and what the hell, people! Then I got no response, so I escalated it to the managment and sent them an email too.

Finally I called and got a recorded message saying that, because of Wilma, only emergency personnel were on site. Everyone else had been evacuated.

Oh. Oops. That's riiiiiiiiiiight. Verio has my server housed in Boca Raton, Florida. They have a hidden status update several layers down on their website (why is it not on the front page...duh!) that explains why the servers are all down. Apparently they have generator backup, but the generators that were tested and working just FOUR hours before the power went out, are not working now. You could *hear* the frustration in this update. God DAMN those generators!

Well, they hope to have them working by tomorrow morning sometime. For now my site is down, and going there I just get a 404, which is sad. But not having email is kind of restful, I must say.
