UPDATE: Projected downtime & hosting "change"

shiney · 04-18-2011, 08:45 AM

We're moving from the datacenter (fondly referred to as "Akbar Downtime McPoweroutage's Discount Datacenter & Apothecary) to a new location. In conjunction with these we've come into some seirous high-end server hardware and will be upgrading our machines.

The move will result in a downtime of between 12 and 24 hours, unlikely to be more, and will be taking place sometime in the next week or two. I will advise you guys further when we are close to the date of the actual move.

~~The Temporarium~~ will not be brought back from the void of nothingness to which it was damned in the interim, because it never happened.

Edit: tonight (05/03) is the likely server move.

Aperture Science reminds employees that server outages, data corruption, and health issues including but not limited to a cold, the flu, death, loss of consciousness, bleeding from all your pores, broken bones, cessation of brain functions due to exposure to neurotoxins, and lupus are not valid excuses for failing to complete work and submit [posts].

Valid excuses include the following:
- Conquering Black Mesa

Could we be so bold as to inquire what host you are switching to?

See you in 2012, everybody!

Nope! We will still be with PX but at a new location.

Little bit of work preliminary to the move. It went very smoothly.

shiney · 04-29-2011, 07:18 AM

And which is why everything tanked!

shiney · 04-29-2011, 07:22 AM

Uh oh, let's do the time warp again. I guess I have more work to do later.

Repairing & optimizing tables. It's currently doing the "post" table which is why your posts may be taking some time to enter.
