What was shaping up as a pretty strong weekend of blog traffic here, thanks to Manival #5, disappeared, literally, in a puff of smoke. My web host service suffered a fire in their facility, damaging its infrastructure but not the servers. This took all the served blogs off-line for (at least in my case) about 27 hours. I have not heard if there were any injuries or further details on the amount of damage to the facility (and I’m trying to find out), but I commend the team for devoting their weekend to getting the business back up and running.
