My webserver has been down for two days, and I only now noticed,
even though I've been receiving notifications, on the hour, every hour,
since it went down.
Sigh.
Why didn't I notice?
Because I also receive the same notification (same subject line
in the email) from another webserver that tends to go down more often than
not, and it too, went down around the same time as my webserver.
I restarted the other webserver and kept wondering why I was constantly
receiving notifications of it being down. I figured the webserver might
have been updated, thus breaking the status page I check, so I adjusted the
monitoring code appropriately (yes, one of the fields I was looking for
didn't exist, which lead me to that conclusion).
It wasn't until I tried hitting my own webserver that I actually noticed
it was down.
That's when I realized that not having the website name in the subject
line of the email notifications was not a good idea.
I also realized I should blog more often.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
