And We're Back

Ouch! My whole site went down for over 8 hours last night. I noticed at about 6pm that the website -- which had been working fine at 5pm, as far as I remembered -- wasn't responding, and my e-mail seemed to be down too. A call to the hosting company revealed that some settings on my account had been changed. Uh oh. Not sure how that happened but since Tracy in California (my friend who bought me the domain) still manages the admin for the domain, I didn't have the password to go in and fix things. Fortunately, a quick note to Tracy via my emergency backup e-mail account (and we all need at least one of those) got the fix started and YAY all is well today. Thanks, Tracy!!!!

This showed me how big a part of my life this website and my e-mail have become. I was scrambling around rying to fix it last night, checking the site every 15 minutes or so...it was the first thing I looked at this morning...my day is already a good one because it's working again...I had text messages from Malaysia concerned about what happened (thanks Alex!)...yeah, it's like there was a sudden illness in the family.

But all is well now. Guess I don't need to call in sick today after all.

Worried so much about downtime. You sure you're not hosting a porn site on the server as well? ^^
 
I tried to access your site a couple of times yesterday and noticed that it was down. I'm glad that Tracy was able to fix everything! :-)

I can understand how attached you must have become to this website. I don't think that I could go for an entire day without checking my e-mail! :-P
 
And we thought you were updating blog at that time. Good thing you've managed to rescue it - imagine if everything was gone! :O

Yeah, our online attendance have actually increase waaay to much too. :S
 
Hee. Overload on porn in the hidden GB stash perhaps? :P
 
william: actually, I found pics of you in sexy underwear and am now hosting them...the incoming traffic has crashed the servers six times! :P

arayaduta: yeah, my pulse quickened and it made me ask "is it possible to have too many external hard drive backups?" The answer is, there's no such thing as too many backups.

janvier: I have felt that pain before and am determined not to feel it again

sam: I would NEVER look at porn...never stop, that is.
