All nodes are recovering except Breck and Pike both KVM nodes.  We are investigating why they have not come back online and am en route to look at them physically. 

Meow!

I guess everyone will have to deal with the questionable ads.

But, heh, bills gotta get paid!

I’m willing to let people have their embarrassing comments redacted where needed.

Also I’ve never received a dime from any vendor or advertiser.  So what ever I have to say is mine, and mine alone.

“Just let them say whatever they want.”

You’re god damned right I will say whatever I want, and I’ll defend anyone who wants to say whatever they want.

From their site:

Why is this closure happening, then? It’s a business thing, and like most business things it’s not easy to explain or understand unless you spend all day crunching numbers and paying bills. Which I don’t. So here’s the simple version that even I can comprehend: Ziff Davis wants to run an efficient, focused company, and managing several different sites that all cover videogames isn’t exactly the model of efficiency. Even though GameSpy had its own unique voice that was separate and distinct from those of our sister sites, and there has always been value in that, it’s hard to argue with that logic. Even if it does totally suck.

So yeah, another one bites the dust.

Other greats from a top ten include Byte and InfoWorld.. Oh well.

Le sigh.  I’m not too happy with this one either, but it is better than having the broken one.

I’ve got to give a quick shout out this fine word press pluggin, WP-Optimize.  Needless to say it speeds things up big time!

As nothing is worse than a fragged database.
