I lost it for the day too.

Bloody computers! im just about to start migrating all of my sites over to a new server as the current host is about as useful as road bike in a swamp.

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what the heck was causing the downtime.  Tried a bunch of things, including replacing a bunch of hardware.  Troubleshooting took forever, because the server would run for an average of 3 days between shutdowns!

Turned out to be a freaking power cable that was on it's way out, of all things.

Still, that means we should be good for a few more years now.

thanks! Wasn't a criticism as we know these things happen - thanks for keeping it going!!

wow even power cables break down....whats the world coming too...tsk tsk tsk...

Grimjack, Excellent in finding that failure, the worst kind to find (it so much easier when you can just wiggle something and induce the fault).
Cheers
