Munuviana went down yesterday afternoon. I'll allow Pixy Misa, the all-powerful deity who generously owns, operates, and manages the Munuvian universe, to offer an explanation.

Splat

Sorry about the explosions, fires, earthquakes and other catastrophes today.

Yuri, the server that runs most of the blogs, got hit by a denial-of-service attack.

After disconnecting the server from the internet (if I left it connected, it would crash), I started copying all the blogs across to Kei, the other server.

Then Kei ran into a spot of disk trouble, and it crashed too.

If you're reading this, it's a sign that things are almost back to normal. Except that the entire load of mu.nu is now sitting on one server rather than two. So I have to pry everything loose again somehow, hopefully without eight hours of downtime this time around.

Update: All blogs have been moved and should be working now. I need to activate Fluffy, and I'm sure I've forgotten a couple of other things.

Thanks, dude, for all you do. I really don't say it enough.

And by the way -- where did you get those server names?
