November 05, 2007 | TC Downtime Nov 3-4

Our apologies for the downtime experienced over the weekend of November 3-4. Apparently the cause was scheduled maintenance by our web host that went awry and thus took longer than expected. Unfortunately, we weren't informed of the maintenance, so we were unable to let you know TC might be down ahead of time.

Please re-send any mail sent to TC addresses during the downtime.

For future reference, if TC is ever down, you can keep apprised of the situation via our newsletter (we will send a special update), our MySpace page, our Google gadget (you can add this to your iGoogle homepage--search "Toasted Cheese"), as well as on the editors' personal blogs.
