Long Time Off-Line

Some of you may have noticed that my web site was off-line for a long time. The site went down at the end of August and is only up again for a few days...

The problem was a hardware failure. Literally minutes before I left for holidays to Italy (in Tuscany and Rome mostly) the power supply of my main web server broke down. I didn't have a spare one nor the time to repair the server, so all I could do was shut down my servers and leave things down for a while.

It's about time I get a backup server with APC..... ;-)

Google also noticed my down-time as it has dropped me completely from its indexes. Hopefully, reindexing goes as quick as removing....
