From listmaster at databaseadvisors.com Thu Dec 30 08:59:57 2010 From: listmaster at databaseadvisors.com (Bryan Carbonnell) Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2010 09:59:57 -0500 Subject: [dba-Tech] Administrivia - Server Upgrade - UPDATE - Dec 30 @ 0955 Message-ID: Good Morning folks, I hope you didn't suffer too many withdrawals from not having your favourite lists yesterday and this morning. The Server upgrade was a challenge to say the least. A Royal PITA to say it closer to what it really was. There are still lots of things to work out, like putting the archives back online. Have no fear, your words of wisdom are being archived (for those lists that have archiving turned on), but the archives aren't available yet. The main goal was to get the lists back up and running, which it appears they are. If you encounter any abnormalities, please let me know ASAP so I can look into it. Things will slowly become normal again over the remainder of the week. Thanks for your patience. during the upgrade. -- Bryan Carbonnell - listmaster at databaseadvisors.com Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "What a great ride!"

I hope your Christmas preparations are going well. During the last few months the mail server has been having some problems. So over the Christmas holiday the mail server that all your favourite lists run on will be undergoing a complete upgrade right from the OS to the mail server to the mailing list software. This will mean that there will be some outages of the lists. This outage will most likely happen on Wednesday Dec 29, 2010 starting around 8am ET (1pm GMT). I will send out a notice approx. 30 minutes prior to the server going down. As well, once everything is back up and running, I will send out another notice. If you have any concerns, please let me know. I can be reached at listmaster at databaseadvisors.com or carbonnb at gmail.com.
