codekills (and wolever.net) downtime

I'm sure you didn't notice, but I'll tell you about it anyway: the server that runs wolever.net and codekills.net, lazarus, died of unknown causes two weeks ago.

It took two weeks to get everything fixed because it lives in Toronto and I live in Waterloo… And the first weekend I went back to pick it up… I forgot to pick it up.

Right now the data has been migrated to another machine (the one you're talking to right now), and it is doubtful if lazarus will ever live again.

I didn't notice because I only read your site via RSS. This made me realize that RSS (at least full-content feeds) actually buffers out downtime across the Internet.

I'm not sure if there's any broader lesson to be learned, but I had never thought of RSS as a buffer before.

Eh, felt like commenting and that's the best that I had.

Yea, I was thinking about that… That's actually one of the reasons I wasn't in a huge rush to fix things

But, in the bible Lazarus lived again... Maybe you should pray for it!
