SHU Blogs Down
The SHU blogs are down. I exchanged three e-mails with the sysadmin yesterday, who described the problem as something minor, that a reboot would fix. I haven’t heard back from him since yesterday afternoon and don’t know what to say. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed.
Update: The sysadmin writes,
Argh! The machine has hard errors on the boot drive, it turns out.
I believe I can get it booted, but it looks like I need to start planning a migration to a newer box.

These things happen. I absolutely-tootly love our blog system and everything that Dr. Jerz does for us. How impossible would it be to find another host who will guarantee 99.9% uptime? Or to physically host the accounts on our own server? These crashes have been rare, yet they've seemed to strike at the worst possible moments all year.
Thank you sysadmin. What bad timing with the orientation, though. Tiffany and I just sat there looking at the icon turn. "Loading, loading". ARGH is right.
We'll have the information for the next group. However, this probably means that we won't get very much student input on the 2008 blog until the middle-end of July. Dang.
They're back up again.
