Sorry everyone — our host Slicehost, which has usually been very good wrt uptime, had a whole bunch of trouble with packet loss this morning, and then later this afternoon. They took down the data center where we’re located (STL-A) for “emergency network maintenance” this afternoon, but the network seems to be up and humming smoothly now (you can track Slicehost’s status at status.slicehost.com).
I should make it clear that the server and your data were never at risk, just your connectivity to it. Apologies to all for the downtime: though we’ve been very happy with Slicehost in the past, we’re exploring spreading our system across different providers in the future.

I’ve noticed an iritating problem with tracks.tra.in when using IE7/IE8. Actaully, it’s been going-on now for months, I usually just work around it by going to the mobile version of the website. When I try to edit an existing entry, I get a dialog that shows an unknown file type titled, “edit.” My options are FInd, Save, or Cancel. Please advise…

A couple times Rails was down for a half minute or so & I’m sure that was frustrating, very sorry! Things should be running more smoothly again.
