Back again.

05 06 2006

After an extended outage, I'm happy to report that Coomey.net is back in action. What happened was this: I got too zealous upgrading my webserver machine. I currently am enjoying the Ubuntu flavor of Linux on the server, and wanted to check out what was the latest and greatest BETA version of the software (duh, I couldn't see problems coming?).

Well, I did a dist-upgrade to the new version, everything downloaded and installed OK, but when I rebooted the server, it hung. As it turned out, there is a known bug in the version of the PPC kernel released with that package. So the box was hosed.

Silver lining now though, I am running on a real server with real bandwidth. The site shouldn't go down daily like before. :-)

Again, thanks Jeff!
