edit: appears to be back and working fine.

Embarrassing - despite my best efforts it appears as if my little linode couldn't handle being frontpaged - here's a cached entry for now:

The blog entry is cached as a static page hourly and served via nginx as such - this load shouldn't have killed it. Will be interesting to dive into.
