For starters, sorry about today's outage, if anyone noticed (lol, right?).
It turns out that the data center where our server lives was doing some re-organizing. Fortunately, things came back up relatively painlessly, unfortunately, however, during the process of getting in touch with the datacenter I learned that they are closing shop, and I've got roughly until next Friday to figure out what I'm doing.
So, there WILL be some outages in the coming week. Things this weekend will be unaffected, but I cannot guarantee things will be functioning for the following weekend. I will do my best to keep downtime to a minimum.
If I stay with this company, which I probably cannot do, things will get limited quickly in terms of available bandwidth, etc...
This nearly guarantees that I will be switching to a new datacenter and new IP Addresses, which means, at the least, a day or two of outages will happen at some point while things get physically relocated and DNS gets updated.
I don't, yet, have an idea of what I'm going to do or how or when as I've only had this knowledge for about an hour as of this writing, but this is all happening REALLY FAST, whether I'm ready for it or not.
I will do my best to keep everyone informed and to plan outages to minimize impact as much as possible as this moves along.
