This weekend, Justin and I went to King’s Island with my coworker Dennis, his wife (Julie) and their boy (Matthew – 4yrs old). Now, one thing to take into account with me and amusement parks is that I have a huge fear of heights. Even then, it’s not really the heights that get me, it’s the vertigo from the heights.

Well, it looks like sometime either late Wednesday or early Thursday the server that my sites are hosted on wanted a rest, so it took one. The RAID array that it’s located on had major issues and failed to rebuild twice which prompted my host to replace hardware. They ended up building a new server and are currently in-process of restoring the data from last week’s full backup.
