Downtime...yecch

If there's one thing that makes me nervous, it's web site downtime (especially my own). Twice today we've had spotty outages at work, the first time inexplicably because our server ran out of memory, the second (going on right now) is due to our host applying the latest Microsoft security patches.

Thank goodness this went down on a weekend and not when a major story broke. But I swear, this is the kind of stuff that makes me cringe. I wouldn't wish downtime on my worst enemy's dog or my biggest rival's pet bird. My stomach's still got a couple of knots.
