Yes, Hot Air’s down; Update: Back in business

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 12, 2007 10:55 PM

Update: Here’s more on the Rackspace outages.

Update 11:05pm Eastern. Don’t want to jinx it, but it looks like Hot Air’s back up. Maybe this post was the trick!

Check out Allah’s latest post on more Plantmania and a Democrat’s taste for “Buckwheat.”

Yes, Hot Air’s down. Been down for a couple of hours. It’s a Rackspace server issue–apparently the same one that caused trouble here at home base over the weekend. Grrrrr. Yes, we’re unhappy. Appreciate your patience and we’ll let you know when Hot Air’s rising again.

    Are you sure it isn’t the internet-jihad causing it? :D

    I speak for many Americans when I say…

    What is a rackspace, and if it makes an error in the forest because I have no idea what it is, does it still make a sound?

    I remember 20 years ago when my dad’s computer had syntax errors.

    P.S. I used to think “OT” meant overtime, as in football. Apparently it means off topic. So let me be OT for a sec and say I met Steveegg a couple days ago, and he is a nice guy.

    Rackspace is (and maybe soon to be was) the hosting company for both michellemalkin.com and Hot Air. If you tried to get to HA Sunday, or here yesterday evening, it may not have made a sound, but you definitely did.

    How can she claim to not know that this term was derogatory?

    My husband said “she one up’d the stereotypical “black friend”…”I bought a tape of a black comedian.” “Wow, you’ve listened to Eddie Murphy? You’re black like me!”

    A truck driver backed into a transformer in Dallas outside Rackspace’s facility causing it to explode and killing power to the facility. The facility has backup generators but those generators do not generate enough power to run the AC systems that keep the servers cool. Rackspace had to systematically take servers down to prevent overheating.
