After almost 24 hours offline due to server problems, the Living Room Times is back. Hopefully we’ll stay that way. Stay tuned. If the site goes offline again, you can get updates at my Twitter stream.
Oh, speaking of Twitter… the right-hand column showing my latest tweets will not be updating for the time being. The plugin that updates the tweets was one of the things I had to deactivate in order to get my site restored. Now I’m troubleshooting to isolate the actual issue.

On the bright side, this experience has enabled us, once and for all, to answer in the affirmative an age-old philosophical quandary: If Brendan’s website goes down for more than a day, does he still exist?
Not quite. The site was only down for about 20 hours. As we got closer to 24, all photos of me were starting to fade, Marty McFly-style.
Hmm, are you counting the downtime from both when you were offline and when you were getting the PHP / query error? Because I remember your site being inaccessible all day Friday, and again when I checked on Saturday.
I’m counting both. The site went offline Friday around 2:30 AM Mountain Time, then came back online, but with the PHP error, around 3:00 or 4:00 PM on Friday (I don’t recall the exact time, but it was sometime in the mid-to-late afternoon). It finally came back “for real,” no PHP error, shortly before the timestamp of this post, 10:43 PM on Friday. To my knowledge, it was not offline at all on Saturday. I’m guessing maybe your browser cached the PHP error and didn’t actually check to see if the site was back online, but it was.
Great. So you’re saying then, the philosophical question is still unresolved, a la Schrodinger’s cat!
Schrodinger’s Manatee strikes again !
