Title: Planned Maintenance at DreamHost
Post by: ivor on January 29, 2008, 08:54:21 AM
Looks like there's some upcoming planned maintenance at DreamHost.

QuoteDue to continued space and power constraints in our primary data center,
we will be moving the "randy" cluster to one of our newer data centers.
This move will begin Friday, February 8, at 10PM PST, and is expected to
last up to 8 hours, until Saturday, February 9, 6AM PST. All web servers,
mail servers, file servers, and MySQL servers in the randy cluster will be
unreachable during this time.

Looks like a Retreat Party at The Hermitage might be in order.

Given the rules of silence on retreats, it would doubtless be pretty chaotic with lots of bun hurling and broth slopping.

There's always someone worse off than you.  So far in my so-called software career I've never had to relocate a cluster of randy computers.

For the USians amongst us, "randy" in English = "horny" in American...  :)

Apparently takes 8 hours to make the earth move for a randy cluster. ;)

They need to talk to Dr. Ruth...

(Dr. Ruth Westheimer, a TV/radio 'expert' on sexuality. Think tiny old Grandmotherly looking lady with German accent and a "bag of tricks" that could make you blush for a month.)

I was thinking more in the lines of a cluster of he-dogs outside the door of a she-dog in heat... ::)

Heh, I'll stick with Sue (Johanson).  So Dreamhost isn't content with simply charging everyone 2 years in advance? 

(yeah they reversed the charges.  but yeah I want my $21 back that I lost in exchange :P)
