Downtime

Some Powerblogs users experienced a few minutes of downtime recently. The short version is that it's over and won't happen again.

The longer version is that there was a very subtle bug in the new remote report software which somehow made one user's log report consume all available disk space (the bug was subtle; the effects certainly weren't). Servers require some disk space for temporary files and such, or they can't do things like serve pages or let people log in. I'm modifying the report software to ensure that it will never write large html files, so this problem will never happen again.
