Hi Folks,
The site went down for about nine hours or so due to a reconfiguration on the server host and a stalled backup system that ran a disk out of space. Fixed now.
Interestingly enough, the server going down coincided with me getting domain renewals on a couple of the domains associated with GT40s.com which lead to quite a scare. Due to the way I have the domain registered and hosted (on two sites unfortunately, to be fixed), I convinced myself that www.gt40s.com had expired and had been taken over by another entity. It took me about thirty minutes to recognize my error with the wrong registration site and figure out all was well there.
That's resolved now and I am planning to engage the services of a friend who is a Linux engineer in taking over some of the maintenance for the site so that sort of thing doesn't happen again.
Whew.
