Well that sucked. (Outage)
As you may have noticed, the site was down almost all day today. We are hosted at a Tier 1 co-lo datacenter near Dallas. They have redundant power, generators with days of fuel, UPS's, and all of the other things that you'd expect a modern datacenter to have. But - that doesn't mean unexpected things don't happen. One of the key pieces of equipment between the power grid, those backup generators, and the UPS's, is evidently something called the Automated Transfer Switch (ATS). And while there are multiple ones on site, it turns out that they aren't truly redundant. When one failed catastrophically today, it took down a very large portion of the data center, and getting it back up involved some significant engineering and re-wiring.
Once the datacenter itself got its power back up and running to the cages, then the servers themselves needed to be confirmed good. For an unknown reason, the one that we were hosting ninjette.org on was behaving strangely when it came back up. It was "up", but not visible from the internet. After troubleshooting that for a few hours this evening, I was able to migrate all of our content (the entire VPS) onto a known good server, and voila, we're up. Sorry for the trouble, and glad things like this happen as rarely as they do. If anything does look like it's behaving strangely here, please let me know, but I don't expect any issues. Time for bed...

For a more detailed analysis, check out this thread on the webhostingtalk forum.
I was glad that we had the facebook ninjette.org group to get some communications out during the day as well. If you're on facebook, consider joining that group for days just like these. Though hopefully they are few and far between...

The email company I use was down for the same period of time as Ninjette.org. They use colo4.com Dallas co-location . I suspected you were using them too. I bet the people in the co-location centre were running around like maniacs trying to get everything fixed
