Apologies for the recent downtime (a few hours… okay, all day, March 20th). This site is currently hosted on a DreamHost VPS which, along with a huge chunk of their network, went dark due to the ironic interruption of their uninterruptible power supply. All the gritty details and play-by-play on the DreamHost status site. Our plan […]
If you happened to be following us on Twitter, you would probably know that the GeekyLibrary Crew went to Disneyland last week.
