Anyway, the blackout is now over. You can continue to use the site, and we've done some slight debugging while it was down.
Next time, can you tell us BEFORE the blackout?
Nice essay btw.

I blacked it out at about 4 PM EST, and I put up a message in the news at about 10 AM. I'll give more notice next time.
