Tomorrow.sg downtime

By now, anyone who cares would have noticed that Tomorrow.sg was down for nearly 24hrs.

Tomorrow.sg is hosted in a co-location center and we have no physical access to the machine. So when the site went down, we tried doing a couple of remote reboots but they failed to do anything. Just as we were about to give up and resign ourselves to the fact that we might be dealing with a hardware failure, or worst, a harddisk failure, our hosting provider found the problem: Apparently, someone knocked the rack and the ethernet cable come loose >_<.

As high tech as we are, there is no accounting for clumsiness.

Rest assured we are doing our best to ensure this will not happen again. (hint: superglue <3)

So, we're back in business. Please carry on as usual and keep them submissions coming!
