Back online

My blog and email have been offline for close to 48 hours.
An explosion Saturday evening at a Texas-based, privately held server hosting provider has caused server outages effecting 9,000 servers and 7,500 customers.

--All Headline News

I'm a customer of one of those 7,500 customers.

It's back up now. But an interesting weekend...
