POI Factory was offline for a while today due to a network outage at our hosting company. The outage started around 9 am eastern and lasted approximately two hours.
EDIT: A second outage started around 1:45 pm eastern and lasted approximately 1.75 hours.
Sorry for the troubles.

The network provider should be the one apologizing...
Thanks for everything... I was about to do a traceroute to see where things were dying... didn't have to.

It took me a little while to sort out the troubles too.
POI Factory has been using 1and1 (hosting company) since the start back in 2006. Outages have been few and far between, so I first suspected my computer or local network connection.
It appears the outage affected all of 1and1's dedicated servers, worldwide. They have over 70,000 servers, so a lot of web sites were involved.

I knew it wasn't my local connection or computer. I was starting to believe it might be the server/website was forever gone. If that would ever happen I would miss it like no other.
was there another disruption
was there another disruption around 11:30ish AM PST? This site didn't respond at all.
