Re: July 19th Downtime

[LiNuX]

Ok, I see.

First I thought it was just me having problems coming in(it has happened before).

At first I thought it was just a glitch on my monitor because I received just one message, usually I get bombarded with it with a new message every 5 minutes. This was our first major downtime in a year. The last actual downtime was before we moved to the server (I'm not counting any of the times I had to take the server down myself for upgrades since they were all scheduled).

The worst day for me for it to happen. My gaming computer, I f'd it up clearing our me registry and I deleted the registry that saves the location of desktop icons when you turn off or restart the computer. I thought it would just come back, apparently it didn't, and I couldn't find a way to fix it so I just reformatted my PC.

So I just had my crappy laptop and no forum to go on all day, glad it's back up now at least.

Ah I had plans to finish other work yesterday and actually focus on my job for a big meeting I had to go to. I was so out of focus yesterday and I don't even remember what I said in the meeting now.

I was up for 24 hours straight yesterday (4am to 4am) dealing with the issue. Kept in constant contact with the Datacenter. I think I bugged them a little too much because they offered me a new server out of the blue.

But thank you Ubiquity Servers for actually doing that, most other providers would just stay on trying to fix a broken server.
