I apologize to everyone who was trying to get to my site and couldn’t these past few days. The network connection here went down Tuesday evening, and it’s maybe worked 5% of the time since then. It looks like the connection came back online early this morning, and this time for good. We’ll see if it lasts. Luckily I was able to transfer Gaucho Software’s website over to a hosting provider fairly early on in a short interval when the connection was working, so there was minimal downtime there. I have backup mail and DNS servers outside my network here as well, so those services weren’t an issue.<\/p>\n
I’m really frustrated at this point because it took so long to fix, and it seems like it was a routing configuration issue. If hardware breaks and needs time to be replaced, that’s one thing, but to take several days to track down a routing issue seems unacceptable to me. I’m glancing around for other ISPs in town, but it’s difficult because DSL isn’t available where we live, and it’s pretty expensive for a business class cable modem line. The company I’m with right now offers a wireless link that’s 768kbits up\/down and is only $5\/month for a static IP.<\/p>\n
Anyway, we’ll see how it goes. Just wanted to let people know I didn’t fall off the face of the earth. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
