Annnnnd we are back. Sorry for the hassle over the last 30 hours. We are hosted on dreamhost.com and they had some hiccup with our particular server which took them over a day to fix.

Apparently we weren’t the only ones affected: http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2010/06/29/bandar-filesystem-check

We will be looking to switch off to a more reliable host in the near future, if you have any recommendations please let me know.

Again, sorry for the downtime.

If there any problems let me know…
