<div>I'm forwarding the post I just got from Walter updating us on the glitching blue screen of death". Walter has provided us with a new index mesage, directing you all to the old site, but you must approach the site through the index page
<a href="http://www.squidge.org/~peja/cgi-bin/index.php">http://www.squidge.org/~peja/cgi-bin/index.php</a> to get the fandoms url. Another working enterance is <a href="http://www.wwomb.org/">http://www.wwomb.org</a> Once again, I want to remind you a lot of links on that section of the archive have unlinked, due to being bounced of mainstream site bases.

<div>Squidge is down at the moment (just the website). I can bring it up, but the only thing is, WWOMB and the new NCIS site will NOT be up, at least not the database part (Peja, your static site will work just fine - Ester, yours is totally down). I will do everything I can to bring them up, but it may not be until Thursday evening when both are totally back up and functioning.
<br><br>The whole thing started with a database and automatic reboot. The database server system would not come up after the reboot. My partner worked on the system for me, but was not able to bring it up. I'm much more of a linux geek, so I'm confident the system will be up soon, but like I said, could be Thursday evening.
<br><br>That's what happened. Now to tell you how I'm preparing now to make sure it doesn't happen again in the future.<br><br>Currently the systems are backed up to an external USB. That's the great thing. However, like in situations like we have now, the database and the backup files are not available. I'm installing a network filesystem for backups, so that even if the server goes down, the files become available. At that point, I can dump the database from those files onto a new host, so even if I lose one host, another one will be up and running within an hour.
<br><br>Again, I cannot apologize enough for the issue we're having right now. You have my word that this will be resolved soon, and I will do everything in my power to keep it from happening again in the future.<br>
