    Server Backup - ISP had a catastrophic failure

    ISP is supposed to give a full explanation of the outage, but basically, after that first crash last week, they had to replace the entire storage array, so it was on life support, yesterday, they moved all of their clients to a new SAN (Storage Array Network) basically a big external hard drive...

    Server will be slow or intermittent

    Server will be slow or intermittent, the ISP fixed the main SAN (storage network) issue yesterday,and they are installing a second "mirror san" which will give real time failover and redundancy, HOWEVER to bring that mirror san online, they need to replicate or copy the live san. this takes time...

    Server Backup - ISP had a catastrophic failure

    My ISP had a catastrophic failure with their SSD SAN. They were able to recover it after replacing some hardware, but resulted in a day (12 hrs) of being down. I wish I could say it will never happen again, but when I switched to this ISP, they had a great track record and very good and...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    I had the joy of someone targetting our server for a DDOS attack, thankfully my ISP for the server was able to stop the attack with little down time. I also had my generator installed, so even with a total blackout, I can still play pinball! (and stop the basement from flooding).

    server updated

    the be honest, I am not looking for speed, I am looking for consistency and reliability. I need to be able to go on vacation and know the server will not stop working for no particular reason, or that someone else would effect my performance. The previous provider used a technology called...

    Moving the server this friday night if I can get ahold of brock .,. Server will be down for about an hour, sorry for this, but we need to have a smooth transition and database shenanigans can corrupt data. It is all up to your DNS, i recommend you use google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) as your name...

    server updated

    Spent the evening re-configuring the new server, security etc. We will be doing a transition to the new server this weekend. I will try to do some database shananigans, so that way if someone is on this site, they actually will be talking to the database on the new server. that basically means...

    server updated

    I hate server issues. my isp has been really really good. and I have a bad feeling they are getting too big. server is fine now, but I have to look at alternatives. which tends to be costly and very time consuming! argh

    Spam attack, again?

    Honestly, I could spend hours trying to stop the particular people from spamming, but it makes Mike feel really special, so once in a while we need to throw him a bone! :) Seriously though, the spam attacks do not happen often and they are being handled very quickly, so it is hard to justify...
