Scheduled Downtime

Filed under: software - 02 Mar 2008 0:01

My hosting provider is doing a system upgrade. It is expected to occur on 3 March 2008 between midnight and 6am Eastern (early Monday morning, GMT-5). The outage is expected to be brief and, theoretically, you won’t notice the difference. However, I’ve been in technical support in the IT world long enough to know these things don’t always go smoothly.

    I had always had difficulty to understand why massive providers (hosting, datacenter, etc) need to make downtime for system upgrades… I mean, it is possible to run it non-stop, yet they prefer to go shutdown-change-boot-up cycle…

    btw, your blog SW has issues with OpenID on blogger.com/blogspot.com

    @silpol The plugin I’m using for Wordpress hasn’t been updated in a while, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some incompatibility. ;)

    ok, at least some sort of stability – it says “Couldn’t verify sign.” ;)
