the server is dead

The server on which all my internet activity depended (and 30,000 other businesses) closed its doors on Wed morning leaving everyone stranded. Only the moodle site sitting alone on another server was accessible to those not dependent on an isp using Veridas in Qld.

I never thought it possible that I would suffer internet withdrawal symptoms during three days of no emails or access to the net. Three days of emails sent to me but not received are now floating out there somewhere in cyberspace.

Such is life.

PS this window only lasted an hour. The service dropped out again until the next wed- late in the day. A total of 8 days off line. The churning of the website and adsl acount took that long.
