You may have noticed the server is having some availability problems lately.
I can assure you that we’re working on it, but at this point it’s pretty baffling. The hardware has been replaced, the OS has been reinstalled, there aren’t any weird syslog messages, and yet still we crash for unknown reasons.

> The problem with all these superstitious types claiming today is 6/6/6, is that it is *only* 6/6/6 in the *American* date format. Everywhere outside the U.S.A., they swap the date and month around. In all other parts of the world, today is actually 6/6/6.
