8:00 PM EDT: Finally! The site is back online.

6:20 PM EDT: Still down

Update

I just received an update on the issue. The story has changed. Now they’re saying that a truck hit some pole in town and brought down the fibre optic cable. For some reason the data centre’s redundant connection didn’t transfer to the other lines, and no explanation why.

I’ve been now told that it may be till 10:00 pm at the earliest, if not, till tomorrow.

Damn!!!

1:30 PM EDT: Still down.

A construction crew managed to cut the fibre cables servicing a lot of Ottawa’s down town, including our internet connection. They’re working on fixing it. The estimate no less than 6 hours to go back up.

12:25 PM EDT: Still down

As of this posting (Tuesday, April 24th, 2006, at 11:50 am EDT), storiesonline has been down for about an hour. This is due to a failure in the backbone network of Rogers/GT here in the capital region in Canada.

The site’s servers are up and running and everything is working as it should on our end, but the server’s connection to the internet is broken. Nothing we can do but wait.

No news on when things will get corrected.

Bastards!
