A large chunk of the neighborhood lost power including our facility.  The backup lasted for the last 20 minutes but the electric company has not resolved the issue in time and our network is currently down.  This will be resolved as soon as possible.

On a brighter note, a release that goes live next week will include “local mode” functionality we have been working on so if this happens again, your use of Digsby will not be interrupted.  Digsby will load cached preferences and account info from your hard drive and then resynchronize when it is able to establish a connection to our servers.

Update (12:30pm EST): Two of the three power sources coming into the facility have been restored so the servers are back online.  However, until power is fully restored we may not be out of the woods yet.  We’ll keep you posted.

Update 2 (2:30pm EST): Everything is still online and all power has been restored to the building so we expect things to remain stable.  This issue actually pointed out a few issues with “local mode” since Alpha users already had the functionality.  We will patch it up and push another Alpha release with the fixes next week.  The next public release should also be sometime next week.
