As I’m sure everyone has noticed by now, the MMORPG Alpha testing server is down. This was not a software problem, but a hardware malfunction(*). I spent the weekend moving drives and machines around and restoring development services, such as the Subversion repository.

At this point, everything is back up, except for the Alpha test server. I plan to restart the server tomorrow, if at all possible, with the initial Town Dynamics features.

On the positive side, backup and restore worked.

(* A hardware malfunction caused by human error … namely, mine. Never, ever, attempt to pull a video card from a running machine, or you might just fry the motherboard.)
