Yet more downtime

Apologies to anyone who tried to access this site over the weekend (Oct 24-26). Some server updates went bad and I didn't get it sorted until Sunday (Oct 26).

Seems a new kernel I installed wasn't set up properly on the web server. Consequently it couldn't find the SCSI controller which also meant the SCSI disk the holds this site (and this one too) wasn't accessible either. Silly me didn't check any of this either after rebooting the web server - dumb I know; I was in a hurry.

Moral to the story:

1. Only do updates when you're not stressed for time
2. Check everything after you make the updates!
