A Notice From The Front Desk

[rake60]

I just received a down time notice from our server, JaguarPC.
I have an open door policy here so I will let you read it for
yourself.

"Ricky Kerr,

We are contacting you to inform regarding upcoming scheduled maintenance.
We are going to perform some important upgrades on our network and router in
the data center. This upgrade will not only improve the overall performance of
the network but alos it will decrease the chances of network downtime due to
the redundancy that will be added after the upgrade. That will eventually result
in removal of single point of failure which will increase the probability of network
availability.

The maintenance will be performed on Friday, June 19th, 2009 at 23:00 EST
and the expected downtime is 20 to 35 minutes."

So, expect HMEM to be offline beginning 23:00 EST this Friday.
As for their 20 to 35 minute estimate, don't be surprised if it is off
for 12 hours.

At any rate we WILL be back on as soon as possible!
Thank you for your patience and support.

Rick

Hope it won't be that long, I get the shakes after 2 hours without a fix of HMEM. :'(

Thanks for the heads-up. Might be a good idea to have a full backup of this great site, just in case. I wouldn't rely on their backups.

Keep up the great work !!

Rick,

Thanks for the heads up. :bow:

It's 12:30 hrs CST on Sat 20th in South Oz.

For those of us who get the shakes and suffer withdrawal - The pubs are open in Oz - time for a cleansing ale. ??? :

Best Regards

Rick, could you sticky this in all sections - some people probably don't come in here that often and they'll have paroxysms when the forum's down!

ALSO: Picky detail....can you change section title to 'Computer Geek Zone' - that lower case 'z' is annoying me! :big: :big:

The things I miss....

I fixed the "Z" Paul.

If anyone ever notices anything that should be corrected
or could be made better, please let us know.
