Jigsaw Blog / Our Thoughts On Web Design

Back! Sorry for the downtime!

Posted July 15th, 2008

I need to make a serious apology to readers of this blog, clients of the main website and anybody else that couldn’t access it on Sunday & Monday.

Digg

This was caused by a totally unexpected and massive spike in traffic to my personal blog fluffypig.com after an article i wrote made it onto the front page of popular social news site Digg.

Please resend email

The servers just could not handle this huge surge in traffic and it was effecting the performance of other sites (including our clients!) stored on the same server. The only fair and sensible thing to do was to take the sites down until the traffic calmed. This also took our email down unfortunately, so if anybody sent anything in the past 48 hours it has not arrived and I would appreciate if you would resend it.

I apologise to anybody that was inconvenienced during this time and will be putting measures into place to ensure that it never happens again.
