Some of you may have noticed that we were down for about the last hour and a half. No, our server didn't crash. In fact it still hasn't been rebooted in 245 days. Without getting into too many details we'll just say that the hamster fell asleep at the wheel.

This is just a quick note to all of our readers to let you know that this week will be a bit different in terms of a writing schedule because we are moving! As many of you know from reading us (or if you've read our About section), Ryan and I are both from the Chicagoland area, but we've been living in Iowa for the last 4 1/2 years to go to school at Iowa State University.

We thought that today would be a good time to express our thanks to the machine that delivers CyberNet to readers around the world. Our Xeon-powered server runs Fedora Core 5, and it's had an incredible uptime of over 6 months.  I'm sure it would be even higher than that right now, but I used to restart it once a week to help ensure that things would flow smoothly.

One of the questions we get asked most frequently in emails from our readers is, "what is your schedule usually like working on the site full-time?" Apparently some of you are curious what we spend our time doing, so today we thought that just for fun, we'd share what a typical day for us is like.

I finished a new feature for the site last weekend that I've been wanting to do for months. Several sites that I read will, on occasion, write about posts that they had put together a year or two ago (Lifehacker for example). That's a great idea because new readers will likely never see some of the older articles if it weren't for posts like that.

CyberNet News is what it is because of people like you who work to make it better. Sure, we write the articles and dig up the information, but it's the readers and comments that add the most value to our site.  We've never taken the opportunity to formally thank all of the people that make CyberNet what it is, so a big "Thanks" is long overdue. Today, we're saying thank you...

I'm not sure how many of our eagle-eyed visitors noticed the 15-minutes of downtime last night, but I know some of you did because Max started a discussion in the forum about it.

HUGE Learn Firefox Redesign! How To Install a New Firefox Theme Switching Firefox Themes

After about a month in progress, we have finally launched a Learn Firefox redesign! Our focus was to bring a graphical appeal to the site since it is a "visual guide to the Firefox web browser," and we believe that we've successfully done that.
