Site outages
Sorry that mcgees.org has been so slow of late. Trust me, it’s frustrating to me as well. I spent an hour and a half on the phone with the charming Charity at Linkline Communications to determine why my DSL connection is slower than a 28.8 modem. She got in touch with the line provider who said that they traced it back to a short inside the house (how they could possibly know that remotely is beyond me) so it would cost money to get someone out to fix it. I thought I would give it a couple of days to see if it “gets better on its own”, but that’s looking less and less likely. In the mean time, it takes seven seconds for pings to bounce back from Yahoo! servers.
Oh, and sorry that mcgees.org, and all the websites it pulls down with it, were unreachable part of Sunday and Monday. That was unrelated, this time due to a power outage, followed by my forgetting to turn the server back on afterwards. Everything should be back up — if slow — now.
