The site was down for a little while this evening. It looks like there was a problem upstream from the hosting provider. On a better note I rolled out an update that allows articles to be dugg, kicked, delicioused and technoratied. Did I miss anything?

Yeah I was wondering too. Was this site being hosted by OrcsWeb by any chance?

ahh..ASp.NET site was down too.. I downloaded a new version of browser and was not able to access any of these 2 forums that I usually visit. and I was pretty sure I had internet connection. I was chatting with a moderator from the .NET forums and came to know there was some power failure in Charlotte (where OrcsWeb has their data center) and ran on generator for a few hrs before they had to pull down that too. apparently they dont have a DR site!!

Orcsweb hosts many of the non-Microsoft Microsoft sites -- asp.net, blogs.msdn.com, etc. And SQLTeam.com! As for the DR site I'm not sure I could justify the cost whether Orcsweb provided it or not. Moving the sites is pretty straightforward but keeping the databases in sync is the real challenge.

Think of the massive revenue loss if SQLTeam is down for just a few minutes!

that is a funny comment.

Graz, why don't you throw some of the millions you are making off this site towards a DR implementation? :)

SQLTeam needs a DR site!

Think of the poor people who might experience delays in getting answers to their job interview questions.
