Thanks Danny

Today, they say, is Sysadmin Appreciation Day. The 8th annual, in fact. Which is strangely apropos, since Danny is working harder than usual today, due to the power shenanigans over at our colo.

At any rate, Danny is responsible for many things around here, one non-trivial chunk of which is managing all our varied and sundry systems. And he definitely deserves thanks and appreciation for that work. So, thanks Danny! And keep up the great work.

Planned downtime

Due to power circuit maintenance at our hosting provider, Lingr will be unavailable tomorrow, July 27, beginning at 10:00am PDT.  Our provider has scheduled up to three hours of downtime, but we hope that the actual downtime will be much shorter than that.

Further power circuit maintenance will occur on Saturday, July 28, beginning at 10:00am PDT.  Again, our provider has scheduled up to three hours of downtime, but we hope that the actual downtime will be much shorter than that.

During most the maintenance periods,  you will see a static "down for an upgrade" page, but there may be brief periods during which you will not get any response.

We regret the downtime, but unfortunately there is really nothing we can do about it, since our provider is cutting power during those periods.

UPDATE

Our provider has delayed these maintenance intervals until 10:00pm PDT for both Friday and Saturday

Back online from power outage

Today at about 1:50pm PDT, Lingr went down for a few hours due to the power outage in San Francisco, which impacted on our co-location center. To complicate matters, the power outage also affected TypePad, who hosts our blog, so we could not blog about it right away.

Danny had promptly started to recover the service and it should be fully back up now, but let us know in case you find any flaws.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
