Service was down for an hour or two

UPDATE: Service was restored at 12:21 MDT.

Service (including the web site) is currently down. The cause is a defective ethernet card on the router that feeds the servers. The backup router isn't responding so we need to get physical access to the server room to fix the problem. That will take a couple of hours, at which point service will be restored.
Update: actually the Ethernet port is fine, but the Linux kernel on the router has a bug that led to the interface being mis-named when the router booted. For reasons not yet understood, the router rebooted this morning and it appears to have picked up a new kernel at that point, with the bug in it. I'm updating its kernel now and that should fix the port problem.

Your service is great.
I think it's funny.
You provide a free service and you update us about evry problem.
I have no complains.

We give timely updates for two reasons: a) it's the right thing to do and b) if we didn't we'd receive hundreds of e-mails from people asking what's up with the service. Luckliy this particular incident was relatively easy to diagnose and fix.

I found that my account would not synchronise today but re-authorising the google access has solved the problem

Guys,

Couldn't you sell this script/app so that we could install this on our own servers?
