Embarrassing

Downtime is always embarrassing, especially so when you get some significant downtime on a site, and kirit.com has been down for over a week.

The short reason is that the site has always been on a server lent to me by a partner company. The partner cancelled the server without letting me know and once the machine was turned off that was that. It's then taken me more than a week to get a new server set up — not because it's a difficult thing to do, but because I've just not had any time to do it. Finally over the weekend I had a few hours to get things up and running again.

I'm still waiting to receive the file data backup (for the photos), but the rest of the site is at least back up now.
