April 29, 2004: Yes, We Were Offline

Sometime around 10am Wednesday, our provider, Birch Telecom, suffered a beaut of an outage, affecting Austin, Houston, and other parts of Texas. We didn't get our service restored until around 8pm. But we seem to be fine now. Apologies to those who tried to reach us and couldn't!

Staff reactions were more or less evenly divided between "I cannot function without the net" and "Oh, goody, where's my slide rule?" "I'll see your slide rule and raise you an abacus."
