Through no fault of our own – – NOT THAT IT MATTERS! – – Slope started acting funny on Sunday. Not “ha ha” funny but “what the hell is wrong with this site?” funny.

The very, very good news is that we know precisely what happened, which is that the brainiacs who control Apache code thought it would be a great idea to update their code base and render a bunch of legacy rules completely unreliable. The not-at-all good news is that I can’t make any promise at all when things will be rock solid again. Suffice it to say this has the most urgent priority with our host provider and I, having 43 positions open and with the market in total turmoil, could not be MORE incentivized to get things rocking again. It’s going to get fixed ASAP, and I’ll let you know when it’s done.

Onward, Mishka!
