Sunday Connections: Struggles with the Server

Whatever plans I had for writing today have gone by the bye. I spent most of today struggling with the server. I'm not 100% sure what's been happening, but I think it's a combination of a small but malicious attack and a sudden boom in the site's popularity with web spiders--little programs that crawl the web indexing websites.

It makes me think about pacing. When there's an emergency like this, I can barely make myself stop to use the bathroom. I've been like that for almost the last month, trying to help John keep our finances afloat. If I keep this up, I'm going to get sick, and I'm struggling hard to get myself under control.

How do you all pace yourselves in crisis situations?

Update: Everything is fixed, thanks to my friend Aaron [1], who is always kind enough to help this little old lady across the Information Superhighway. You will notice that the site is faster than ever--approaching greased lightning. Smiling Here's hoping we don't go down again for a long time!
