Storiesonline is down (updated)
8:00 PM EDT: Finally! The site is back online.
6:20 PM EDT: Still down
Update
I just received an update on the issue. The story has changed. Now they're saying that a truck hit some pole in town and brought down the fibre optic cable. For some reason the data centre's redundant connection didn't transfer to the other lines, and no explanation why.
I've been now told that it may be till 10:00 pm at the earliest, if not, till tomorrow.
Damn!!!
1:30 PM EDT: Still down.
A construction crew managed to cut the fibre cables servicing a lot of Ottawa's down town, including our internet connection. They're working on fixing it. The estimate no less than 6 hours to go back up.
12:25 PM EDT: Still down
As of this posting (Tuesday, April 24th, 2006, at 11:50 am EDT), storiesonline has been down for about an hour. This is due to a failure in the backbone network of Rogers/GT here in the capital region in Canada.
The site's servers are up and running and everything is working as it should on our end, but the server's connection to the internet is broken. Nothing we can do but wait.
No news on when things will get corrected.
Bastards!

I have let Strickland 83's site know. Thank you for keeping us informed and I wish you all the luck in getting it straightened out.

Thanks for the update.
Lazeez, I hope your provider is offering you a substantial credit with having to be beaten about the head and shoulders. An outage of that length borders right on the unacceptable.
There will be compensation. I'm paying an arm an a leg for hosting service with multiple, redundant internet links. The stupid data centre is supposed to be on a ring, so that any line down wouldn't affect the site. We've had individual link outages before now, but this is the first time that that whole centre is down.
Maybe now would be a good time to consider mirroring the site from a couple other locations. :)
And we're back!
I it seems to be back up. I just got the rss-feeds for updates and new stories.
Just as an FYI laz, as of 11:11pm tuesday, the updated stories link database seems broken still as i get an empty table showing stories 1 of (this is blank).
the new stories is working fine though, it's showing the table listings.
Is it just me or is SOL down again? I haven't been able to access the site since yesterday (monday 11:00pm CET).
I Checked the worldliteraturecompany.net Demo Page and it seems to work.
