(0)As you may have noticed, Samizdata has been having technical problems for the last two days.
We are looking for new hosting arrangements but we have just put a short term 'fix' in place which should get us up and running for now, so do not fear, we are not about to go belly-up!
Hopefully normal output will resume shortly!
Could your problems be related to your proper stance over the Iraq situation, and/or the traffic volume due to the excellence of your contributions. Either way it is a compliment

phew. I was about to start going catatonic and having withdrawal seizures. ;)

Thank Goodness you are safe. I thought those feeyadeen had snuck overand cut your fat pipes. One must always be prepared!
Even for those few brief moments, I missed you as unerringly as an Iraqui dictator misses the point. Your site is a shining example of the eventual might of TCP/IP, before which all other protocols shall be like that which drops from the neither regions of cheese eating surrender monkeys...
...and if you get another provider make sure its not near the Chinese embassy. :0)

First problem was that the ISP moved the rack on which my server sits to their new facility and didn't get the routing sorted until the next day; the second problem was that when doing this they noticed how much bandwidth Samizdata was soaking up and put a cap on it.
There's only so much you can expect of free hosting from your mates and Samizdata has just reached the size where it has to cover its' bandwidth usage.
