Uptime, Downtime

We've had the occasional blippage here at munu over the past four years, most recently the Wednesday before last, when Akane decided to take a short nap for no reason that I've been able to determine.

And sometimes people report blippages that I didn't notice, or that I know weren't munu's fault because I was on the servers at the time.

So to help track such things, I've enlisted HostTracker, which checks the availability of your site from 32 locations all over the US and some other parts of the world, and presents you with a nice little button, like so:

Akane

Nabiki

You can see the Akane-outage there. Nabiki kept right on going, but since Akane is the primary munu DNS server, some people couldn't get to the Nabiki-hosted sites (Ace of Spades, The Jawa Report, the skeptic sites) anyway.

I've had other reports of outages, but they seem to be localised to people on particular (crappy) ISPs, and not related to the general availability of munu. We had a big problem with this vis-a-vis Insight Broadband at the old hosting company, which I eventually managed to get Insight to fix. (Shortly before we moved again...)

So, if you can't read this - if you have trouble getting to any munu sites, sometimes or all the time - leave me a comment. I'm going to be running a lot more sites next year, and having people not able to get to them is likely to prove counterproductive.
