small downtime tonight

[mark]

Hi all --

I will be taking a small maintenance window tonight to do some work. This is going to be invasive and does require the site to be offline for a few minutes while we reboot a server. I expect this to happen between 9PM PDT and 10PM PDT.

The site will be offline for a short period of 5-10 minutes while the upgrade is performed. I will update Twitter when this happens, as well as this community. Thanks!

heheh...well, I've spent enough time on Dreamwidth the past 2 days that I should be able to handle 10 minutes away from it. I dunno though...

I think I can. I think I can. I think I can... ;)

I just wanted to say that I think your user name is awesome.

[frodo]

It thinks you're awesome, too!

*grin* I think I hit the last minute of the downtime this/my morning!! LOL! Isn't that timing??

You probably want to keep reminding people that Open Beta is still beta. . .

Good call. Did you see people commenting about the maintenance or something?

[ashcomp]

No, I'm just familiar with human nature. It seems like everything's up, so people are liable to start bitching about things they run into that aren't there yet--particularly as less experienced folks are invited in.

Re: the GMT request below my original comment, I host a few websites with an outfit called Apollohosting.com. Their headquarters is (I think) in or near Houston. But they choose to run all their physical servers, and my virtual one, on GMT. Gets confusing sometimes when comparing local and remote file directories.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Would you mind giving times in GMT as well? I can never remember these weird American time zones. ;)

[mark]

Yeah, my apologies for forgetting! I will do that.

Thank you very much, that's really great. :-)
