The State of the Network Address

As some of you may or may not have noticed, the database server was down all day today.  To be honest, I'm not sure what happened.  The logs show nothing unusual, and all I know was that it was powered off when I came home.  Either way, that's fixed and you can now comment again.

As for the temporary loss of access to the database and/or webserver, we've hooked a spare switch up and now don't have to disconnect anything if we want to use the XBox.  In addition, our random disconnects seem to have been taken care of by getting Rogers to change our cable modem.  The old one used to drop the connection during high bandwidth usage, but this one seems to handle it just fine.  In fact, it even managed to take care of a day which received over 20,000 connections to the webserver. (Note to self:  Don't ever post a link back to this machine in the Fark forums again.)

No points for the title, but if you can find me within the next 24 hours you are permitted to hurt me for that pun.
