Our websites have been down since about 9.30PM last night and the blog seems to be the first one to come back up. This is because some serious electrical problems at our hosting provider.

According to them one of the main switches feeding electricity to their UPS systems melted and the ensuing blackout brought down some 1500 servers. Most of them are back up, but they’re still working on the repairs.

Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon and people working on the problem can get some sleep again.

Edit: The forum is also back up. The main server is down, but in queue.

Edit2: Wohoo, the server is back up!

Thanks to all of you who’ve been workign long hours to get everything fixed. Extra mentions go for hnsk @ irc and for the nice person who answered my helpdesk call, didn’t really expect anyone to be friendly at that point of the day.
