The management would like to apologize for a 20 minute outage without warning over the last hour, following two heavy system resource overloads by Hong Kong and Indian web harvesters. Matters are now stabilized, but please note next week may bring further brief disruptions. There may be trouble ahead. But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance, let’s face the music and dance.
Wasn't that a song?

The site will be back in a while - there are significant changes in the works because of Chinese web-crawlers slowing down the board - something needs to be done.

We are, after slightly more than a half hour, up again.
Please note any exceptions as they arise.

And it's half past seven, the sun's up and so is the site. So it could all be lots worse.
