Update: Jan 15, 2010: From the Fortress ITX Data Center in Clifton, NJ:

Yesterday morning [Jan 7] at approximately 9AM EST, we experienced a failure in one of our core routers which caused some network outages for approximately 30 minutes. Initially, we found a faulty supervisor card in the router. The card was immediately replaced, and the router was restored back onto the network.

Shortly after returning traffic to the router, the newly replaced supervisor card failed. During this second failure, traffic that was passing over that router was essentially black holed and not delivering properly via BGP sessions over the other routers as it should have been. In other words, failover routers were not seeing this traffic as a true failure and thus did not shift traffic properly as it should have.

We have since removed that router from our network and will be replacing it entirely as the issue is more of an upstream problem of the supervisor card on the router itself. We apologize for any inconvenience that this outage may have caused to you, and we will update you on the replacement of the router when it will be deployed. We thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter and appreciate your continued support and patronage.

A fake email is being sent out purporting to be from the system administrator of wjtech.net. It states that there will be a server upgrade on October 16. It tell you to download a patch and run it on your local computer. DO NOT DO THIS. The patch probably is a virus that will compromise you computer.

One of the biggest changes will be how email is handled. You will be receiving instructions on how to access you email shortly. This email will be sent from the old server, so you will be able to receive it just as you always have. A link to these instructions will also be posted here. Note: Your email address WILL NOT change.  

Your actual site will be visible on the internet during the transition, but once switched to the new server, some functions may not be available for a short while.

If you must make critical updates to your site right now, let me know and I will hold off until they are complete.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
