Apologies for Down-Time

Site was down for almost 48 hours! Terrible indeed.

The hard-drive failed, and the data recovery process was a long and arduous one, thankfully nothing was lost.

The site was up and down last night due to the data recovery running the processor load very high so sometimes the Database wasn't accessible.

Now it's back though, yay!

A lot of things to catch up with, and almost lost a Reviewme opp! Just 1 hour left to submit I managed to get it done, phew.

Also took the chance to upgrade the OS, the management system and everything else, so it should be more stable and slightly faster now.

Anyway better catch up with the other stuff.
