If a blog goes down and nobody notices, does it count as an outage?

Sorry for the downtime, folks.

The machine that hosts stblogs.org suffered a disk failure this week. It started with a crash on Monday, and by the time the device failed again on Tuesday, it was clear that a replacement was needed. Our hosting company restored files from Monday night's backup tape to a new disk. That's why we lost a couple of Tuesday morning posts on CL until the authors re-entered them. I think Page-Zone did a reasonable job dealing with the trouble.

Maybe it's a good thing I haven't exactly been swamped with interested inquiries from St. Bloggers looking to join us on the new machine yet! With all the grousing about Blogger and Blogspot I figured I'd hear from quite a few people wanting to move to our new digs; but nope. (sfx: crickets)

I guess this just confirms my utter lack of salesmanship!
