Midday Open Thread and Server Reboot
Our highly trained team of mutant caffeine-addicted hamsters has been wrestling with server issues most of the day, but it looks like everything’s straightened out now and running at full speed. Contrary to any crazy rumors you might have heard, our host, the Network Operations Center, and my own monitoring tools say there was no evidence of an attack.
It looks like the servers just needed a reboot; they’d been running non-stop for quite a long time. Or maybe it was a clog in the intertubes, an intermittent router problem, a squirrel gnawing on cables. We may never know, and the hamsters aren’t talking.
