So how about that outage hey? I don't care if this forum is designed to withstand 2450 hits per second or 1.5 million visitors per day, if government can get it right why can't the private sector keep up a simple forum??

lol, should get hosting with amazon then they'd get 100% up time

OMG it's Nats!

the private sector can (and do) do it easily

what outage, did I miss something?

this site was offline from 4:45 to 7:32 this morning

The real question is, what are people doing awake at that hour.

I was completely horrified and considered joining up to the OCAU forums!

...oh wait, no, I was sound asleep.

I didn't realise it was nearly three full hours. I demand a refund on all my adviews!!

Hey Gen!

i felt all 3 hours of pain :(

Same. I had to come into the office early this morning. I had nothing else to do.

I was asleep so it didn't effect me, you're lucky Mammoth peeps :p

yeah i noticed it too, so i had to.... read the news! ugh

Normally I have a peek around 6.30-7.00 but not so this morning, phew..... disappointment avoided :)

we'll be doing some work in the near future to solidify this platform a little more. historically it's not been a priority but several months ago we (or was it just me? I dunno) decided to ramp it up a bit. unfortunately client work and playing left4dead2 tends to get in the way and not a lot has been done yet. well, hardware-wise it has, but migrating services across still needs to be done. it'll all be virtualised and made fault tolerant, other than the incoming network feed itself

hardware-wise it has

wheeeeeeeeeeeee

client work and playing left4dead2 tends to get in the way

I can't say there's anything wrong with those priorities at all Jim. :D

4:45 to 7:32 this morning

since I'm old and boring now, the hours that it happened did not affect me.

Anti Asian smilie = Racist Jim.
O M G

I was all disappointed without QGL this morning because I was up at 4.30am thanks to the awesome that is jetlag :(

I bet the error code in the logs even translates to "Adminstrator played too much Left 4 Dead 2"

I love the attitude of I.T workers.

"We'll get round to it".

Reminds me of so many people at work.

site was down for my peak hour

I love the attitude of I.T workers.
"We'll get round to it".

I saw a t-shirt once that summarised the typical day to day in IT.

It said: "No worries, just give me a minute to drop everything else and work on your problem."
