  Site Status Log

This site is hosted on the computer in the spare bedroom. When it is down, this is why. I keep this log on paper first and type it in when the site is back, so the dates are right even when the site was not. Times are Central. Nothing was lost on any of these occasions. I check.

Current status: Site was down Tues. due to weather. All fixed now. No data lost (I checked).


Date Down for Cause
08/25/2026 1 day Weather. Storm came through Tuesday night. I unplugged the server at 9:40 PM as a precaution and forgot it until Wednesday after lunch. A reader (Greg) says it was something else. It was weather.
08/12/2026 40 min. Router light orange. Denise reported it through the Guestbook, which is not what the Guestbook is for. Turned it off and on. Green.
06/14/2026 3 hrs. Vacuuming. The plug is behind the desk and the cord for the vacuum needs the outlet. Denise says this is the fourth time. It is the third.
03/22/2026 2 days Too many visitors at one time. The limit is ten (10). There were, I am told, more than ten. I do not know where they came from. Kyle knows and would not say.
11/07/2025 1 day Same as above. Eleven (11) visitors. One over.
07/03/2025 4 days We were at the lake. I do not leave the computer on when we are not home. It is a fire risk and I have said so.
01/19/2025 6 hrs. Ice on the line. Ameren had it back by supper.
09/02/2024 1 hr. A window came up on the server asking to update. I clicked No and it went down anyway. This is what I have been saying since 2008.
04/16/2024 2 hrs. Vacuuming.
12/24/2023 3 days Kyle was here for Christmas and "just wanted to look at it." Down until he left. Not weather. I am recording it honestly.

Earlier entries are in the binder. The binder is not online, which is the point of the binder.
