Why Glitches over the Holidays are Bad
We determined the source of the technical problems we are having on our servers. It seems that between Longhornblogs.com, PatchDayReview.com, and the rest of the Interscape websites, we were getting so much traffic, that our dinky little 10-Base-T network card was pegged pretty much all the time. Well, early Monday morning it decided to totally crap out on us. The problem with that is, there is minimal staff at our hosting center right now due to the holidays, so it won't be fixed till Friday at the earliest.
Because they can't upgrade the network cards (they have to keep all the boxes identical) we'll be moving to a new hosting provider soon. I can't really afford to lose a weeks worth of sales again. In the meantime, we'll have the site back up as soon as we possibly can. In the meantime, you can still browse all of our content at http://interscapeusa.mykb.com (man, I LOVE how that stuff works, Scott Cate rules). Hopefully soon we'll be able to afford failover servers.
Update: My e-mail is down too, so until my servers are back up, you can e-mail me at rmclaws@devadvice.com.
