[Penguicon-Concom] did anyone notice?

[Jer Lance]

Fine, LS, you win... Big bad Jer is done picking on you... I wasn't just giving you a list of better options. I wasn't just pointing out a better way WITH FRIGGIN EXAMPLES. Perhaps you should just get all pissy about everything and ignore solid advice because you don't like anything that appears to be a "correction".

Oh wait, you already did.

"the website is down" = "my car won't start"

Not being an IT person and not seeing anything other than a 404 means I can't tell you anything else.  If I knew something else don't you think I would have said so??

Let me reiterate... A description of the problem would be just lovely. "The website is down", aside from untrue, describes nothing. It is "my car is broken" in quality. I gave a nifty list of examples of real problem descriptions. 

That said, my guess is that the page was temporarily white screening because backups were being run. Of course, sans problem description, I can only guess blindly.

I did state the problem, the website wasn't up.  You just couldn't get there and I hadn't seen it mentioned that anyone else knew about it.  Turns out they did and were working on it.  Problem solved now.  :)

For future reference... When reporting a "problem", it would help to describe the problem. For example, when I take my car to the shop, I don't say "It's broken", instead I say "It won't start, instead it makes a click when I try to start it". This facilitates a quicker resolution. 

In this example... An email to webmaster at penguicon.org (cc: the list if you feel you need) describing your error (DNS failure, white space, 404 error, apache message, etc) would be your best bet. I know I (and I'm sure Ron) often ignore list emails until l get time... Whereas emails directed to my accounts get immediate attention. 

Just some thoughts.

That could be because it appears to be back up now??  :)
