Welcome back. If you're a regular reader of CornellSun.com, you may have noticed that earlier in the week, our Web site was unavailable for an embarrassingly long amount of time. For that, I am sincerely sorry, and you deserve an explanation.

Since 2006, when The Sun took its web operations in-house, we have relied on professionals to maintain the server equipment that stores and serves our online edition. This means that we're entirely responsible for what you see, but the computers running behind the scenes are housed in a secure datacenter that is monitored 24/7 by a professional staff of server technicians.
