You may not know it, but the servers running this place are in Japan, and they've taken a bit of a hit due to the recent earthquakes.  One of the HDDs seems to have fallen right out of the server, knocking most of one domain offline.

Now, to reduce power consumption, Japan is planning rolling blackouts.  If this actually happens the servers will be offline for up to four hours at a time.  I am taking some steps to minimize the disruption, and no loss of data is expected, but it's still gonna suck a little.

Your patience is appreciated.  ^_^
