RAID 6 – 3 drive critical failure..
4.5TB of data lost..
adaptec and seagate both blame each other..
now secret seagate firmware..
and we wait all over again.

at what point does one start to trust their “redundant” storage?

this will result in a post slow down – on top of the last 5 years of general data, we just lost the last 24 months of where is your god now – the torso jesus collection, a whole heap of birthday party and nick cave rare stuff, all our original video, audio and psd files and most works in progress…blah blah blah…

we will be changing servers at some point
expect some downtime soonish
not that you can read this if you come when we are offline…

yeah look i realise that its kinda dumb posting one of our 404 pages in the blog (is that what this is??) but after i made this one i chuckled and chuckled and then i coughed for a bit but then after i finished coughing i chuckled some more. a little while later i felt bad but then the feelings of guilt etc were overwhelmed by more chuckling… i could go on – maybe tell you about the indigestion i’ve had all day or how i won’t wash my clothes in laundromats for fear of catching some weird virus spread by washing machines…but at the end of the day you don’t care about any of that so i’ll sum up just by saying that i hope there is somewhere i can go to get some over priced flavoured balls of calcium carbonate to help ease this pain. i think i’m gonna stop eating bread. its no good. anyway…

hooray for goatse inspired favicons…

…we might be offline a couple of times over the next few days…
when? nobody knows
for how long? nobody cares
but we will be back we promise

been a bit slack with posts this last week or so…will get back to daily posts in the next few days…sorry..
