Server Upgrade
« on: February 11, 2011, 12:44:46 AM »

We are upgrading to a new server on Friday February 11, starting at 10:00 AM Eastern. The website will be unavailable during the migration. Down time is expected to be around 60 minutes. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Hmmmm - 10:35 Eastern, and the site (not sight) is still running. Everything go quickly or were there massive problems and the change over was delayed?

BTW - WTF Marshal, changing the server in the middle of the day? Like 1BS said, we'll have to actually, you know, work. You sysadmins are supposed to be creatures of the night and do this kind of change at 3AM!!!    ;D

#1 - The check is in the mail.
#2 - Of course I'll respect you in the morning.
#3 - The server upgrade will only take an hour.

When I worked in the profession and had a similar upgrade to do, and I figured it would take an hour, I told my boss it would take 2 hours, figuring that would suffice of Murphy wasn't on a coffee break during the upgrade.

My boss, having been in the field for some time also. would send out an Email telling the company the upgrade would take 4  hours.

Seldom was Murphy able to beat our double safety net.

Short story is: It's been a shitty day. Tech team failed to move to the new server which had some glitches I couldn't blame on manual errors. It was simply a faulty hardware. Murphy's Law kicked in big time on top of that and I told them to get back on the old server and that's where we are right now.

Will try again later when we have a better game plan.

Sorry.....

No apologies necessary, Marshal........ Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug.  ;)

Sometimes the only thing you can do on a really shitty day is simply tote more toilet paper.
