I’ll say this for network failures: they’re bloody annoying.
However, at least they let you know you’re missed. I got emails and or messages from several people who don’t normally let me know that they’re still reading, asking what I’d done to break t’internet; one of them hasn’t commented in eighteen months. You know who you are…
So there’s always a silver lining, I suppose. But still, having your site and your webmail access down for almost 24 hours is a tad vexing. Boo to it.
