Server upgrade 10/23 @ 2pm EST (tomorrow!)

Alexander Turcic · 10-22-2009, 05:26 PM

My apology for the short notice, but we weren't able to get a better time slot to perform a mandatory hardware upgrade we've being planning for the past few days. We still need to get the final OK from our commanding officer in the datacenter, but a short downtime is anticipated for tomorrow, October 23rd, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

I'll keep you posted should there be a change of plans.

Eastern Daylight Time when we are in now is GMT -4 ... so

14:00:00 Friday October 23, 2009 in America/New_York converts to
18:00:00 Friday October 23, 2009 in GMT

And just to be clear, in the UK we aren't on GMT at the moment, we are an hour ahead, so that will be 19:00:00 for us (BST). Which we all know, obviously. Further, that's 20:00:00 CEST.

This whole time thing is weirding me out.

I just plan to sleep all day tomorrow, and avoid the trauma of an MR outage all together,

Donnageddon · 10-23-2009, 04:09 AM

Wake me up when civilization has returned!

Ea · 10-23-2009, 04:15 AM

I'll have to see if there's anything on television tonight.

Eastern US coast is 6 hours from here, so that would be 8:00 pm (20:00) in most of Europe, 7:00 pm (19:00) in the UK and Portugal.

I'm not sure my brain can take the strain of MR being absent!

If everything goes according to plan there will be no more downtime. The IP/routing magic will be done and your next request will hit the new servers.

Of course, we are talking about computers here...
