Somewhat interesting
Well, it seems to be down again now, unless they're selectively blocking me.
504 Gateway Time-out

Interesting story - for a major project I was working on I had to use the department cluster, which was nominally backed up on a daily basis. One day the server overheated and some of the disks were fried. I asked the sysadmin to recover my home directory and put it on another machine. It turned out all the backup tapes (this was in the steam-powered days) were blank, every one. Weekly snapshots and daily incrementals. It's not a backup unless you can restore it.
