Well, the good news first. After installing three very sweet machines and new networking equipment, FR is geared up for the onslaught of traffic we anticipate during this election cycle. All that is left is some tuning and bringing online another database server.
The bad news: I goofed horribly this morning and wiped the articles table, a file that stores crucial information for displaying articles.
Fortunately, the data is backed up. I'm working on restoring it, but it may possibly take the rest of the day to bring it back fully.
So don't touch that dial!
UPDATE: Restored a couple million old articles. Still working on the most recent, which need to be restored from incremental backups (very slow!)

Personally, I’d have blamed pigeons. They always make a mess of things.

John — Thanks for your efforts and hard work. We are tough people and can live through the natural disaster of not being in contact with fellow freepers for a couple of hours. God bless you!

Great picture! ...but I think that’s actually a pic of IBM’s first attempt at making a laptop PC.

I’ve wiped out the database a time or two at work from a bad keyin then saved by a backup. Love those backups!
