At 10:20 local time this morning, I was working on some content for the site when I suddenly couldn’t post…the site seemed to be down. We host with Media Temple and their blog had the following post:

Web, Email and FTP segments unavailable on (gs) GRID.Cl
Incident Tracker status: HIGH view incidents »
Web, Email and FTP segments unavailable on (gs) GRID.Cluster.1
Web, Email and FTP segments unavailable on (gs) GRID.Cluster.1

As of 9:20am this morning, web, email and ftp segments on (gs) GRID.Cluster.1 are unavailable. Our systems engineers are currently working as quickly as possible to resolve this issue.
We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

30 min later – all back up and running. Good Job MT! And for any of you out there that might have noticed the site was down, our apologies.

UPDATE: the server went up and down and up and down for a few more hours – i would like to switch to “ok recovery”.
