Servers In Kansas

This picture is how part of me feels this morning at 5:45 on this Saturday morning. I was going to link to an article on one of my websites and went to look it over… all my sites are down, and it’s not because I haven’t paid my bill.
I called customer service and was told “a server is down.” I hadn’t known where on the planet my websites are served from and it turns out to be Kansas. I asked for that information so I could estimate how long my sites are down. I may ask for a credit.
In truth, this is the first time this has ever happened to me with my own sites. Oh, I’m sure they’ve been down when I haven’t known it, but apparently never for very long. Hopefully this won’t be long either.
Write well and often, (and, duh, the sig jpg won’t work either ’cause it’s served from… yep, Kansas!)
