Total Choice Hosting’s Server35 had a total operating-system meltdown yesterday, resulting in almost eight hours of downtime for BrendanLoy.com. They had to wipe the server completely and restore from backups. Supposedly they did a backup Friday night… but right now, as you can see, everything less than a week old has disappeared. Cross your fingers with me that they’ll eventually find the rest of that data. Alas, I have not backed up my blog recently, so it’s possible that everything from the last week is lost and gone forever.
For now, at least we’re back online. I’m going to work on getting the Bush-Lieberman kiss post back up, since that’s the one all my traffic is going to. Er, make that trying to go to.
I’ll also be saving whatever I can from the existing Google caches, before they disappear.
HaloScan may actually prove to be a blessing in disguise. Depending on what happens with the backups, all the posts from the last week may be lost… but even if they are, the comments are definitely NOT lost. They’re on HaloScan’s servers. :)

So?
What where the servers running on?
Linux?
Unix?
Windows?
This may have been software response to our thread having to do with Operating Systems….
I would bet Linux.
