You know when you do something very clumsy and embarrassing in public?
Like when you trip up and you try to make it look like you meant to do that?
I did something like that yesterday. Ssshhhhh… I don’t think anybody noticed. 
I was updating my site and I did something that took my site down completely. I realised what I’d done and I fixed it straight away, so it wasn’t down for long (maybe a few minutes).
I just wondered if anyone noticed and wondered what happened.
It was me.

No, didn’t see. It comes to all of us. Often make changes to my site, and screw up. I try to do them early morning while few are using the site.
The other days I was sending all my tweets to my test account, and not my real account. I have a test version of my site on my desk top, and obviously don’t want loads of garbage tweets going out to my real account when I am testing. Alas copied over the settings to the production system. I wondered why few were registering on the site!!
Then also the server can go down, normally the service provider. I pay for a service which tests my site every minute, then at some ungodly hour, or while I am away of any Internet connection, I get a text message saying the site is down. I then can’t get to sleep, or can’t concentrate on any task until the problem is resolved. Last time it was 4 hours, and there was nothing I could do, was all in the hands of the service provider.
The site will go down in the next few days during the night for a short while the server is being rewired, again nothing I can do. I may turn of the text message notification or leave my mobile downstairs so I can get a good nights sleep.
I am off to Glastonbury festival, lets hope nothing happens then.
