Return of AaronKCMO

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my supreme pleasure to announce that AaronKCMO is back! After a 48 hour blackout the flagship of the AaronKCMO network is online and functioning.

The cause of the outage is still under investigation. The outage was first noticed at around noon on Monday. All of a sudden the URL came back as a 404 error - which means the URL is not found on the server. This was scary because I hadn't backed up my template in quite some time. I first noticed it when I was at work. As luck would have it the only window I had the blog open in I had just refreshed to get the 404 error. I was afraid that it was all lost.

One thing I learned from this experience is that you can't count on blogger for support. I looked everywhere on blogger and google and couldn't find a way to contact anybody there about my situation. I sat there all monday afternoon sweating about whether or not I still had the site up on a browser at home.

I get home and am greatly releived to find my blog open in one instance on SATA150. I quickly saved the source code into a text file and saved the entire site locally. At this point I hadn't given up on the blog unexpectedly returning just as it undexpectedly went away. As hope for this dwindled over the day on Tuesday I became more practical and thought of creating a surrogate blog in the meantime.

This morning when I created Pirate Radio I decided to check the availability of AaronKCMO, and it showed to be available. I immediately created it and pasted my template over, and Voila! After approximately 48 hours of downtime I was able to recover my template and my URL - at least for now. All my posts are gone, but that's just more incentive to make 110 new ones.

May it be written that on April 16, 2006 my planes filled the skies. The triumphant return of AaronKCMO is at hand!
