At 11am GMT today our web server went down, temporarily (although in dramatic fashion) making this site inaccessible. As it turned out, a one of the key software modules on our server had suffered an irrecoverable failure and thus our web server software had to be re-installed from the ground up.

10 hours later, we're happy to be online again, hopefully without further interruptions.
We apologize for the inconvenience -- please let us know if you notice anything that doesn't seem to work properly!

Update: we're still having some work remaining to configure & optimize the re-installed web server. For the time being, the site is likely to be slower than usual.

"A little boy sat down and cried
an old man passing asked him why.
He said I can't do what the big boys do,
old man sat down and he cried too."

I can relate Craig. Damn. 🙁

@jimbo27, no that wasn't you... it's always the technology... and I we don't think than a user event could have triggered the problem.
