Merry Christmas all. I hope everyone had a great Christmas day with loved ones.

While we were all eating turkey and non Norwegian goodies, TeamIPX.net’s hosting provider had a massive explosion in their HQ affecting many of their customers including us. Given the timing of this I’m not too concerned if it takes a few days to get everything back to normal. I sent them an email informing them of the situation last night, just so they knew what was going on when they got back to work. Much to my surprise 10 mins later (11:40PM, Xmas night!) I get an email back explaining what had happened and that they would return all their customers services to normal as soon as possible. Very impressive.

Sure enough this morning TeamIPX.net is back up. We still have a few issues which they are working on resolving (the test site is still having a DB and DNS issue) but there is no rush on getting them back.

Anyone wondering what was going on with the site, now you know.

Enjoy the rest of the holiday period. See you in game (or in the rink, or on a trek).

PS, by massive explosion, I actually meant a RAID card died and they had replace it :-)

Update: 9PM, 26/12/2007 – Looks like I spoke to soon. Moments after writing this post this morning the site went back down again. It’s back up now for some, but still down for others the DNS change propagates. If you’re reading this, you obviously don’t have that problem :)
