It would appear we have had some technical difficulties.  PLease bear with us while we try to fix the issue at hand.  Thank you for your patience

Holiday weekend here, so I wasn't around.  I did put in a call to Marlenus, and he wasn't there either.  I don't know what was up, but it appears that the shard is back up now.   Technology is so wonderful, when it works.

Hmm.. I didn't receive your call, Acacia.. Stupid mobile phones..

Sorry the shard was down this morning, everyone. I'm not sure what happened but I left early for the store and when I returned my server had restarted itself.

There have been a lot of power surges in my area lately and I think they are the cause of this shutdowns.. Soooo... What I've done just now is configure the server to automatically power back on if it loses power and to automatically start up the Sylvan server software after it boots back up.

If this happens again there shouldn't be any more than about 5-10 minutes of downtime.

How much green $$ do you need to maybe get a battery back up, or will that even help?
