Hi guys,
Apologies for the unexpected downtime this morning (around 4AM GMT/UTC); this was caused by unscheduled emergency maintenance by Linode on the physical machine that hosts the virtual machine that hosts this website... this caused some temporary corruption in the DB files which took me a while to fix.
Everything is back up and running now, and that should be all there is to it. If I get advance notice of any further downtime as a result of this incident, I'll post it here as soon as I know about it: Not that I'm expecting anything.
