We all know an answer for “how many developers does it take to change a light bulb?” – “The light bulb works fine on the system in my office…”

Well, there is more here. Being in the seat of sys admin in the past on several occasions for several years total, I was astonished to find out that it takes two days for sysadmins at 1and1 to restore a Linux web-server – went down somewhere early July 24th and didn’t comeback until morning July 26th. Isn’t Linux infrastructure is most reliable one? Or was a technician busy with something else? We have had repair MS Server with IIS in the past in a few hours where most of it is hardware manipulations… consider that you have a backup and all licenses… everything else is automatic… mostly.

I would give them a credit though that running my infrastructure on their servers for last 6 years this is a first major or even minor issue with them, but such moments could spoil the picture…

So I would like to apologies to anybody who experienced problems accessing my blog or web-site.
