I have been advised that due to extreme heat in the Washington, DC area, cooling at the data center where Amaz0ns is hosted may fail.  In the event of such a failure, temporary shutoffs of servers in the facility would be likely, resulting in Amaz0ns being unavailable until sometime after sunset.

Thanks for the warning, Lingster.  I'm glad I'm from temperate Blighty, even though we've seemingly had nothing but steady drizzle for about two weeks.

Apparently two very large fixed cooling units failed.  They've brought in two portable units and they have two more inbound, one each from Richmond and Baltimore.  They don't expect it to get any worse.  It's about 100 degrees fahrenheit today in the DC area.  It looks like they got caught short by the relatively sudden upswing in temperature, as the spring had been pretty cool.
