Site Outage
Just a quick headsup for all
Our bandwidth backbone (as we sit on it) provider is upgrading some core routers. The occasional dropouts are while things are switched over. Even with killer redundancy if you take out the source.. you take out the lot!
They do however, know what they are doing Should be all done before most of our members even wake up

Because a dissapearing website still raises alarm bells with members
Plus.. it was Brians cue to say "Rob.. you are nuts.. what the hell were u doing up?"
Do you have a batphone by your bed?? Which rings when there is something up with the datacenter?
Last time I saw a server down, it continued to be down for several days and then I saw an announcement that it was up for auction.
Wouldn't want that to happen here.
If the network even shows some packet loss, its recorded and monitored. This isn't a hobby, hundreds of thousands of dollars are riding on 99.9% uptime.
We had 3 techs respond last night, and 2 more call me later to check, just from our end of the network. Reprocussions knocked out a remote handoff, there gear was cheap and was unable to route after the lines were back up. Another support call to have them reboot there gear, our end was fine.
I ended up going out to breakfast after we came online, and finilized the purchase of a competitor. 4:30 am is a wonderful time
