ATTN: Outage Tonight at 7pm ET

[Ian]

We had an issue with the previous migration, so I had postponed it but I'm up now against it and I've got to do it this weekend. So we'll be down for a bit tonight (Saturday) into Sunday while all the data is moved, beginning at 7pm ET likely into Sunday morning since the database is massive, as is the filesystem. I mentioned this previously, the good news is we'll have two new boxes with upgraded processors and upgraded drives on the second server (we upgraded the drives on the other one last year) that will hopefully lead to even better performance and more storage for some of the things I'm working on that are coming up.

It's a pain, but I need to get it done. I wanted to get it over with Friday night, but I have to work Saturday and wanted to be home during the entire process and figured Saturday night might fit everyone's schedule a bit better.

As a result, you'll have to spend a little more time with your loved ones tonight. So make some plans, watch some Netflix or a DVD, etc. Hopefully, this will go relatively smoothly and we'll be back up Sunday morning. But otherwise, I appreciate your patience while I get this done.

Thanks, Ian, for all you do. Of all the sites I've visited, this is one of the very best, and I am happy to be able to visit and converse with so many good folks, on such a great site.

Just a quick bump as a reminder. Probably going to shut things down closer to 6:45pm and I'll get to work on it as soon as I get home.

First it's 7 pm. Now it's 6:45. Pretty soon it'll be 6:30.


Just what is this Ian fellow REALLY up to?

Now I am wondering if Josh McDaniels is involved in this operation.

If we see more photos of Kraft dining with Belichick, we'll know the fix is in.

I've been informed we hit a snag with the new server so they're going to reschedule. So we're back up.
