Scheduled Maintenance 1/8/2010

We're going to have some scheduled downtime this Friday, January 8th at 11:00 PM Pacific Time for sever maintenance. It'll be a little longer than our standard scheduled maintenance—an hour or so.

Update (11:55pm): We need a bit more time for the update. We're expecting another hour or so. Thanks for your patience.

Scheduled Downtime: Friday 11pm

It's that time of month again. We're going to have some server maintenance time tomorrow at 11pm Pacific Time for around 30 minutes.

Quick Update

We're updating the server at the moment, and should be back in about ten minutes.

Update: Done!

Scheduled Downtime: Friday 11pm

We have another server update scheduled for tonight at 11pm Pacific.

Update: We were back at 11:16, not too bad. (But we started a couple minutes early.)

Scheduled Downtime: Friday 11pm

We're going to have some scheduled downtime for server maintenance tomorrow night at 11pm Pacific Time. The maintenance will take around 30 minutes.

MetaFilter Down

Seems to be an outage at our web host. We requested information and we're waiting for a response. We'll post more when we have it.

Update: Here's the word from our host: "We have detected an outage in your Data Center. We are aware of the problem and are working to correct it at this time. We will update you again when we have more information on it."

Update: And we're back up after about 47 minutes. Sorry about the hassle.

Server Updates Today

We'll be updating the server a bit this afternoon so the site will have some infrequent downtime for short blocks of time. (Two or three times, ten minutes each.) I'll post again here when we're all done.

Update: All done!

Down for the Next Hour

Our ISP is down for scheduled maintenance for the next hour or so which means we're down for the next hour or so.

Update: The maintenance didn't take as long as we thought. As you were.

Site Down

We're having some unplanned down time this morning. Investigating with the ISP now.

Nevermind! We're back.

Network Outage

We have another network outage at our host. Sorry about this.

Update: We're back *clicks stopwatch* about 40 minutes later.
