The contest is still going so submit your entries, we are trying to extend the deadline of the contest and I will post later on if we were able to extend it or not.
Why were we down? Well there was an explosion and fire at the Data Center where our server is located and this caused us to be down for nearly three days. Luckily no one was injured when the explosion occurred.
The site is still a bit sluggish and we expect it to be sluggish for the next day or so.

Yes, that could have been a truly terrible situation… Good work to Michael, too. This must be a major headache for him and he’s still working through the contest.

That’s realy sad news. I was worried! Good to hear nobody is injured. There is probably lots of damage…
Anyway the site is back again and this on my birthday! 3th June 2008. I will remember this.
