Well, luckily I have a full clone of my entire repository's history, just sitting here on my hard drive. Good thing it wasn't Beanstalk that went down.
i may do a little hacking on thanksgiving but I can't imagine most programmers working today; it's a decent day to be down (unless you have a shopping or leisure web app)
edit: o yeah I forgot that some users may be international...
Irritating pattern:
1. A free(mium) hosted service becomes popular
2. It inevitably goes down one day
3. I hear about it from every blog, tweet, and news site.
I have always hosted my own email and webserver so when it goes down, instead of blogging about it and complaining, I just fix it.
We apologize for the outage, there was a dual-disk failure on the SAN, but no data was lost. We're going to be working with Engine Yard to make sure this doesn't happen again.
