Per update from the author " Thanks for letting me know Have taken the site down until this is fixed" . Basically, the author is fixing an issue wherein resumes were serially numbered and anyone could potentially see anyone else's resumes. If you see a 502 error, this might be the reason :-)

For others thinking of releasing a new project; if you need to take down your site, make sure you display a page with Twitter or a emailaddress form "Contact me when the site is up again"

Yes. Either a load balancer sitting as a placeholder in front of it, or in this case just create an Nginx 50x error page saying that.

I imagine that nginx server sitting there is a reverse-proxy, so put a nice error page for when the upstream server errors out.
