07 Apr Hostpapa breakdown

Received a note this morning from Colin Doyle in Osaka saying Contrarian was working just fine in Japan. Alas, within hours, an even more severe breakdown set in. Hostpapa‘s own systems were down throughout the day, so beleaguered help desk agents couldn’t even get in to see what might be wrong with the servers that run Contrarian and CBFilm.ca. This is one of North America’s biggest (and, I say again, normally most reliable) hosting companies, so the Oakville offices must have been going nuts. Service came back early this evening, and seems to be brisk once again. Let’s hope the problem is solved. Please let me know if trouble recurs. Apologies for the inconvenience, and ?? for your patience.
