As many readers observed, our DartmouthWeekToday.com website was offline for much of last weekend. Alas, it is a big, interconnected world – and some things are out of our small company’s control.

Left in the dark were DartmouthWeekToday.com, sister sites SippicanWeekToday.com and WarehamWeekToday.com – and dozens of sites operated by much larger companies, organizations and government agencies.

Round-the-clock tech work at the cloud-computing service had things up and running again by Sunday evening. Some fast work by the Dartmouth Week staff had coverage of most of the weekend events up on the site by Monday morning. Read on!
