It seems that my web and mail server has chosen an extremely inopportune time to die; I am hoping that a cold boot after it has been off for some period of time will resolve the issue, or failing that that the hard drive is intact and its aged hardware has merely chosen this time to die. Since it is in LA, this is kind of complex to resolve, but I will try to get it back with its original data as soon as possible.
One of the side effects of this, and I regret this, is that if I'm hosting your web site or your email, that's going to be down for the next little while. Hopefully only until 6.
