Site Back Up!
September 9th, 2009 Filed under: Life | Tags: down, hosting, website Well I’m sure you all noticed that my little blog has been down for the last two weeks. For some reason a script somewhere on the site was going nuts and using up huge amounts my hosting service’s server’s CPU cycles. As the site is not on a dedicated server they had to shut me down in order to keep everyone elses sites working.Now this is where I tell you I utilized my degree in Computer Science and debugged my site, isolated the problem and fixed it. I wish I could say that… but in reality I sat on my hands for about a week before deleting some of the things I had been playing with in the background. Then crossed my fingers and e-mailed my hosting company asking them to flick the switch back on. Turns out my service trusted I had been hard at work fixing the problem and viola here we are up and running again.
I got an e-mail from them this morning saying the site’s usage is now within acceptable limits. Nice!
