Site outage

Well, that sucked.  My domain was MIA today.  Fixed what I could, but it's not totally working yet.

I discovered the problem this morning, when I was thwarted in my regularly scheduled RSS feed checking.  The page didn't load.  And neither did any of the other page.  Or the DNS alias that I had pointed to my home server.  So after confirming that my hosting provider was in fact up, I checked my DNS.

Somehow - I'm still not 100% sure how - my domain's nameservers got reset to defaults for my registrar.  I'm not sure if I fat-fingered something while confirming my contact info in the domain manager, or if there was some change on their end, or what.  At any rate, they were wrong.  I was able to change the settings back to my hosting provider's nameservers without any issues, but that still requires waiting for the change to finish propagating.  What a pain.
