W-I-L-M-A-!

If you tried to get to mahugh.com on Monday, you probably noticed it was down.

I never gave much thought to where my site was physically located — it’s just hosted by Verio, that’s all I knew — but it turns out that it was hosted in a facility in Boca Raton, Florida. And when there was a power outage yesterday due to Hurricane Wilma, Verio’s backup power supplies “which had been tested four days earlier and found to be operational” failed to kick in. The whole saga is documented at www.verio.com/wilma.

    OK, this is BS — Verio is back down again. Another hurricane? Another excuse? Time to send them some more fan mail, since they’re not answering the support lines …
