Update coming down the pike

Be careful out there. Mo'time will be down for a few hours today whilst the doctors open her up and transplant some organs.

Status? What status??

howard — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 08:57:45 +0000

Kids! Sorry sorry sorry!

We were down for what seemed like an eternity and (unlike all the King's horses and all the King's men) we have just been able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Suffice it to say that Murphy's Law struck on August 15th with a massive meltdown of our server farm. Most of our technical staff is in Italy, which meant that we had to put together a crew on the sacred day on which the whole country is on holiday.

We were not even able to put up the blank page that lets you know that we working on it! We sincerely apologize for this, and hope that the absence of Motime didn't cause you undue pain or suffering (as it did to us)!

Posting delay

After the problem cited below, there is another pesty little problem to resolve. If you're reading this before it is visible on this blog, it means you have subscribed to the status blog and you've got this in your digest. Lucky you.

The blog will also be promoted to the latest updated list on the home page, but if you click to read it... lo and behold -- you will only see the next to last post.

Your new posts are/were in limbo -- visible in the edit view and in the digest, but not on the public view of your blog. Once again, sorry 'bout that. It should be fixed rather soon.

Kernel panic!!

howard — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 12:44:22 +0000

Sorry sorry sorry. (Scusateci!)

Last night, at around 7:00 p.m. here in the boot-shaped country (GMT +1), Mo'time went down down down.

We had a major crash -- a kernel panic (gotta love the name). The server froze, some files were corrupted, we did some reconstruction and restoring and you are reading this as a result of a successful first aid operation.

Please accept my humble apologies.

Oooops. Sorry about that.

I hope that most of you were at the beach, lazing off in bed, busy at work, having coffee or cocktails while Mo'time was down for many hours today. For those who were trying to blog --- it did not work out great for you.

The Apache servers went down down down earlier and were simply unresponsive in the restart department. After a lot of late summer sweat, things are back and running.

Please accept our humble apologies for the downtime.

Next Saturday's downtime

howard — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 23:46:35 +0000

Love note from our service provider. We still have some essential services running in Canada.

"In order to complete our move down to the Terminal Level of the CN Tower, we are scheduling a power outage which will affect you.

Date: Saturday, January 27, 2007
Maintenance window: 02:00 - 05:00 MDT (09:00 - 12:00 UTC/GMT)
Expected duration: 3 hours

During this time, your service will be unavailable. If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to email us at support@tera-byte.com. We appreciate your patience during this transition period and thank you for your continued support.

Yours Sincerely,

Steve Keyser
CEO, Tera-byte Dot Com Inc."

Patience is a virtue, they say. But I wouldn't know about that. :(

Photo and RSS feed downtime: UPDATED

howard — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 19:35:46 +0000

**POSTPONED** to Thursday, the 21st.

We're conducting the final part of the move from our old server farm, which was housed by another company, to our very own servers!

Today, on Saturday, December 16, 2006, from 10:00 p.m. to midnight GMT/UTC (22:00-00:00), we will be moving the file storage system for photos, videos, audio files and any other stuff that you can upload to your archives to the new servers.

As a result, we will have to shutdown the upload function during that time. Everything else should function well!

The other service that will be down is your "syndication" -- the RSS and Atom feeds will not be updated during this time frame either. In order for them to snap back into place, you will need to write a new post. That's all.

• What time is it now in GMT/UTC?
• Use this time converter to calculate the times above for your time zone.
