First real vacations in three years, whats the worse that could happen? My hosting provider having trouble on the server hosting the Biology News Net, of course. The outage lasted at least for 5 days, but now were on a dedicated server and things should improve significantly - I hope it wont happen again, troubleshooting server problems on the other side of the world (australia) without a reliable internet connection isnt exactly fun!
Sorry for the trouble this outage might have caused!
