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

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, |

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... BOb |
