Slow site is slow
A hardware failure in networking equipment at our host caused
a lot of timeouts and slow responses yesterday. This is information
that would have been useful to you then, but I couldn't post it
because the site was too slow. You see the irony. Our server was
just sitting there, engines idling, wondering
where everybody went. Then Cisco fixed the problem and everyone
descended on it again like a horde of rampaging Vikings. Vikings
with political opinions.
This must be the most useless status update I've ever posted.
