2-5 Hours Downtime this Weekend

Posted: May 28, 2008 @ 6:50AM 14 replies

Hey Guys!

I have some maintenance work to do on the server where I host this site this weekend. Optimistic downtime would be about 2 hours, pessimistic according to Murphy - at least one day. My realistic forecast would be up to 5 hours. So prepare yourself and grab enough episodes to survive the weekend!

Cheers!
Paul.

A little down time is actually a good thing. When you announced we saw 100% up for the month on 1 May, all I could think about was, "dang, I had a month with 100% up time, and now I have a son. I sure love the little guy, but it wouldn't be practical to have that happen too often..."

The TV commercial I saw said that you you experience that much 'up-time' you should seek medical attention immediately. Ugh, I can feel the blood draining from my cranium already.

it wasn't chemically induced, and then there's always Mrs. JP helping to ensure we don't end up fielding a full sports team--well, you know... I think we're OK, but will watch for the signs the TV says to watch out for! Ahh, the genuine concern of a fellow junkie. Much appreciated, bro! (Nate, go ask your Dad what we're talking about. He'll probably tell you in another few years.)

Phew... it was SO Murphy! Took me >9 hours to get everything up and running again.

Cheers!
Paul.

P.S. Still restoring some backups, the site performance will get better once I'm done.

whenever I am done with the (alert, techtalk!) XEN Loop->LVM migration. I should be done in 1-2 hours. THEN I'll be feelin' good ;)
