Title: Server upgrade on 02/11/10 - downtime expected
Post by: Marshal Halloway on February 11, 2010, 01:02:30 AM

We will start our annual server upgrade on February 11 at Noon Central time. Some downtime is expected and can last up to about 6 hours.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Works out great for me, starts about when I log off to start getting ready for work and will be done before I get home  ;D

Whenever Marshal does this.. I start my chanting and dancing around a fire.. ;D  praying that it all goes smooth and there will be no glitches.. It is quite an undertaking..and we both always hold our breath each time he has to do this..
But he is goooood..... so I have no doubt it will all be done correctly the first time..  ;)

Is the "broom" involved?

6 hours!  What will I do with all that free time?  I feel the withdrawal symptoms coming on already...LOL.  I guess I'll just have to watch all the shows I taped yesterday.

Hope things go well.

Is this the big event the Iranians promised us today?

Your choice -

1. Marshal taking down the servers for 6 hours, causing great wailing and gnashing of teeth and rending of garments - and that's just him! The rest of us just go into withdrawal whimpering.

2. M'ette dancing nekkid around a wikkan bonfire waving her broom around.

3. Hell and DC frozen over and closed for a 4th day!!!

Someone want to start one of those poll threads?

Guys....

I think that dance is more like Act IV, Scene 1 of the "Scottish Play"

"Double Double, Toil and Trouble......"

;)





any beer left in the corner?

Still some work remain, but we got the site up and running without too many mishaps.

Let me know if you guys experience any bugs.

Three spiders, about a dozen Asian Beetles, two wire worms ... and a German Shorthair with the attention span of a three year old on Mountain Dew, but that one isn't your fault  ;D

Well at least it is winter time . so the bugs I encountered outside were nil... ;D
No camera was allowed on the premise's.. besides..you know people of a "spiritual nature" can not be caught on film while doing 'secret work'..  :D

Shhhhh~~~~Marshal just "thinks" it went smooth without any mishaps... Wait until he really takes the time to look at himself in the mirror....................
Dang it~~!! I just can't figure out what I said that was a mistake .......... But that toadstool growing off the back of his head ..is NOT a good thing.. not a good thing at all........sighhhhhhhh.....(yep... .. I definitely have some explaining to do) :-\
