The site has been down because my primary web server has died -- again.

Thing are looking very bleak, but I have managed to hobble together a working site on another server.

Some things may be missing, but there's not much I can do about that.

It may be some time before I can get things back to normal.  I'll do the best I can.

I was wondering what happened for two hours...lol

Considering the massive task of maintaining a complex site as this, you did a great job Todd. It would be interesting to give us rundown of how a server goes down like this. Just for people like me who ar technically challenged...lol I would find it very interseting.

Of course after this is fixed.

As an educated guess i would say the answer lies somewhere in the vicinity of an overload? Yes? No?

I remember when I was working at a market research company 11 yeras ago in N.Y.C, there was a room full of servers , and it was very cold in there. The computer pro was always in there trying to make sure the heat wasn't going to make them go down, because there were over 200 phone lines making it a burden for them.

It really must be in the air, I've had alot of trouble also with my servers, and at different locations.  I've had trouble accessing my wireless, and trouble sending/receiving email at other locations.
