  One of the biggest hosting-companies of Belgium has major problems in their datacentre due to powerfailure. All sites hosted by them have been down since 4 hours ago. Most sites I ever made are hosted on their servers.

  I think my telephone is about to melt away in my hands right now. And while most clients are very understanding, there are 3 of them who keep calling me every two minutes, refusing to grasp te difference between a hostingcompanie and a webdesigner, and keep shouting that I "Have to putt there fckng site back up!"

  These are very tiring conversations... I can tell you.

  One of the clients is a belgian band who had to have their site online today because you can vote for them in a radio-contest, only this day. I spent the whole weekend on that site, and now he's mad as hell.

  Sorry for ranting...

  Well, their music sucked anyway...

  I know it's not my fault, hell, even my own site is down, but it's pretty hard to stay polite in the face of ignorance.
  But I have to. My mother told me so.
