Month: February 2008

Is anybody else ready for winter to be over?

Today is my Monday at the office, and you knew it was going to be a long day when I walked in there was about two dozen heaters, dehumidifiers and fans blowing in the office and the carpet was spongy. Apparently a pipe froze in the empty tenant space next to our office, broke and flooded that office with about four inches of water. It went out the back door of the place, and a snow burm that was outside the door basically routed the water like a river right into our office back door, flooding the first floor of our office. Luckily, it appears that the various computer we had on the floor weren’t damaged. I’ve been spending most of my day trying to get things back up and running, but not having a whole lot of luck because the heaters and fans and such keep breaking the circuits that the computers are plugged into. I’m basically moving computers around until I find a circuit that isn’t overloaded so I can get this office back up and running.

So don’t expect to hear from me much today if you sent me an email or need to get a of me, as this is the first time I’ve gotten online all day (and will probably be the last until this evening).

UtterlyBoring.com and BendBlogs.com Site Downtime Tonight

Just an FYI: Just forewarning everybody, tonight at 11PM I have to take the server that hosts this server and Bend Blogs down while I do a deep hard drive scan on the backup hard drive in the server as it’s spitting out errors. Hopefully (unless there are major issues), the server should be back up by 4AM, Sunday morning.

BTW: It was nice seeing some of you at the BendWebCon. If you’re just a lurker but saw me there (I won a door prize, which was pretty sweet), feel free to say “Hi”.
