Future Site Downtime
The site's back online, obviously. Let me know if you find anything weird. I still have to optimize some of the configs. -Brandon 01/17 Noon CST


The harddive that our OS runs on is failing and could die at any moment, so I am working with our host to figure out the best time to take the site down, do a full backup, install a new drive, reinstall the OS, and rebuild everything.

It will most likely be this weekend sometime. I'll update this post with the exact date/times for the two outages. (First, to verify the drive is indeed failing, and second to do the reinstall)

The drive test will be 23:00 CST on 01/13/2009 (tonight) and could last 4-6 hours. The site will not be available during this time.

The drive is predicting that it will fail (ain't technology great?) .. so they're replacing the drive for us this Friday evening. The site will be down for 12-48 hours starting Friday after 16:00 CST (so, plan for all weekend) -- sorry for any inconvenience.
