Our Apologies
June 11, 2008
On Saturday 31 May at approximately 11pm GMT there was an explosion in The Planet Data Center in Houston Texas. Electrical gear shorted, creating an explosion and fire that knocked down three walls. Thankfully there were no human casualties.
On the instructions of the Fire Department, The Planet then turned off all power to the Data Center resulting in 9,000 servers being knocked offline.
My then host assured us that no data was lost, still we received many calls to say we had a problem. We signed up with a new host and, after service was restored with the old host, we started migrating to the new host.
That took time with many pitfalls along the way. We’re not there yet but getting closer.
Thank you for your patience.
As of June 24, 2008, I think we’re there. A little tweak here and there is all that is left.
Again, thank you for hanging in.
