A Maine native, Max now lives in New Hampshire with his wife, who is an editor at National Review, and their three cats in a c. 1790 house built by an American Revolution war veteran. Max was pretty liberal in college, but then moved to New York City, which, though it's the most liberal city in the world, ironically made him into a conservative. Max does a number of things for Ricochet, including maintenance, project management, customer service, and some writing from time to time.

Many of you will have noticed that the site has been acting oddly since Friday. We’ve been having problems with our server configuration and unfortunately there has been some down time when the site was unavailable. I’m working on it and I apologize for the inconvenience.

    Is “server” racist or at least “problematic?”

    Would you prefer to call it “Abdul?”

    I didn’t look at the site all weekend. Is that the problem?

    @arahant I’m not sure I’d ask any of our founders to “code.”

    I have every confidence in you, Max.

    Here’s what I do when I’m trying to get some computer system to work properly: I whisper to it, “Make Daddy proud.”

    Seems to be working now (8:30AM ET). For the last 1/2 hour, I’d been getting “server down” messages. Fingers crossed.

    It’s now 7:15 on Tuesday morning. I can get on Ricochet but it’s glacially slow. I click a button and wait for, oh, a minute before anything happens.
