Back up!

Sorry about the downtime! Many thanks go to those kind users who notified me directly.

Small Server Glitch Stopped Numen for Morning

So there was a small glitch on the server this morning. It was super easy to fix but I didn't have a chance to fix it for a few hours. It should be good now!

Numen is back up!

That was fast! Sorry about the downtime.

Numen is down for a bit ...

Unfortunately the website (and all email functions) are down for the moment. The server crashed! There is no ETA at the moment.

I know this is frustrating for you and it's even more frustrating for me.

I have officially started the search for a new hosting provider and will definitely be switching over to that new hosting provider within a matter of days.

I apologize for the instability of the site, especially at this time in the semester.

Upcoming Server Move

Within the next week, Numen's physical server will be moving to a new location -- hopefully with a connection about 6 times faster than it's been over the last 10 months. Of course, it's not been exactly slow! But I just wanted to get the word out there because the site might be down for a day or two. With any luck, I can minimize that time and also make it happen on a slow day (historically, Saturdays are the slowest days). I apologize for the inconvenience.

Server Hardware Failure

Hi, Numen users. I really apologize, even more profusely than last time. It turns out that the "power failure" was a little bit more severe than I first believed. It turns out that the motherboard in the server failed. Not to worry - I've replaced all the dead machinery with working parts and it appears that most of the features of the site are up and running. I'll be restoring other services as I find out about them -- but if you happen to see something not working, please let me know right away! Thanks!

Power Failure

My apologies! There was a power failure and I didn't know the server was down. :( But it's back up now!

Site Outage Yesterday

There was a site outage yesterday due to a power failure. The server was offline for most of the day. I truly apologize for that and for the inconvenience!

Down for almost three weeks...

The amount of frustration this "firewall" glitch has caused me is nothing compared to how badly I feel that the website was down for ... almost 3 weeks. It seemed like there was no end to the number of emails I sent to the IT department to get it back up and running, but in the end it took nothing less than several phone calls to the proper supervisors. To everyone who was inconvenienced by this downtime, I truly apologize. I made the mistake of assuming that a 2-minute setting change would take two minutes. Let my mistake be a lesson to anyone in the same position.

The Latin Lexicon Server is down until IT fixes the firewall...

I'm very sorry that the server is down at the moment. The university's IT department is dragging its feet on the firewall rules. We've put in a request for a rush! Hopefully it will come back online today. 

Access Down

Bad news. Access to the server is down at the moment, and has been for about 2 hours.

The building where the server is has lost its internet connection. The IT folks said they're working on it and hope it will be back up with an hour or two.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!
