This weblog was down...
I should not have made sneering remarks at the North-American power grid. Although something like the black out last week is rather unlikely in Europe (if not impossible due to the European power grid structure) there are other things that can cut you off the Net just as effectively. In my case it was the heat wave Germany experienced this summer. The
server this weblog runs on died a horrible, screaming death.
Jan Manuel, who hosts the server at his flat, did a great job in rescueing the machine. After exchanging the router (that also died) he powercycled the webserver, only to be greeted with
the wonderful "LI" prompt every Linux user loves so much. Now, after some struggleing, everything seems to be restored and I can slowly recover from my blogging withdrawal.
