Code push in ~32 hours

Hi all!

I'd like to do a brief site maintenance and code push in about 32 hours. The scheduled time:

  • 2100 PDT Thursday
  • 0400 UTC Friday

This code push will involve a period of downtime. I'm estimating it will take about 10 minutes. During that window, I will be switching us from our old sb-db01 database master to our new sb-db05 cluster. I have to take the site offline for this since it's what we call a master failover, and our system isn't designed to do that without downtime.

After this maintenance, we will be completely on new hardware -- and all of the trusty hardware we've had for the past three years since moving to ServerBeach will be completely retired.

As always, there will be another post here as well as on our Twitter account when the time comes. Feel free to shoot me any questions or comments, I'll watch this post!

PS HELLO PLURKERS.

It's like sideways twitter that automatically stacks replies.

This. It's like Twitter but sideways. A lot of RPers around here use it.

What [personal profile] corinthian said, only i generally wind up using the mobile site because i am one of the maybe two people in the world who find it less annoying. :P

I'll have to check it out, then. Or-a bit more thoroughly anyway. Looked abit confusing to me. Damnit being visually impaired. xd I haven't played with the moble site yet, though.

If you're visually impaired, you definitely definitely want the mobile site! My headmate forgot to link you, but http://www.plurk.com/m // Main site is absolutely and totally unaccessible. Good luck!

If you have a smartphone, Plurka is so much better than pretty much anything else out there. I love having it so much. The mobile site isn't bad. I just prefer Plurka.

Make that three. I can't separate what I'm looking at with the sideways layout. Maybe it's my A.D.D., but it's impossible for me to make heads or tails of what I'm looking at.
