With the release of OS X Leopard last night, it was if they looked up one of the most important days of the year for this site and made it their mission to take it offline during that time. One of those things that no doubt will be hilarious in a few months, but for now is maddening.

Word to those who want a reliable web host that has decent uptime and warns you in advance before they take your site offline for several days at a time, stay well clear of Servage.
Post to del.icio.us
