Short Site Downtime - Friday Aug 3 2012 18:00-22:00 EDT

[Azi al'Thone]

We need to pull some data from the database for migration testing, so the site could be down for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour (or more). I fully expect this to only take 15-20 minutes, but it could go longer, just so everyone is aware. There's a full 2 hour period where this could occur, so expect to lose access anytime between 6PM and 10PM (EDT). But don't worry -- it should not take anywhere near that long.

Please contact azi@tarvalon.net or technology@tarvalon.net if you have any questions/concerns, or post here.

Anyone know what this time will be GMT?

 

[Emerald ní Róhan]

Should be +5 I think, for you. Does that make sense? I think you guys are 5 hours ahead of us...

 

[Azi al'Thone]

EDT is GMT-4, so that'd be 22:00-02:00 GMT

 

[Reniel Killan]

It's a 5 hour difference currently between East Coast US/CA and the UK. Just to be clear

It's a 4 hour difference between EDT and GMT because GMT doesn't observe Daylight Savings.

 

[Dane al'Nyer]

Thanks for the info

R&U, wishing you good luck with the system reboot!

(I should be sleeping then, I guess... :yawn )

 

[Onis O'Leia]

For the Norwegian and Swedes: This will be tonight at 12 AM to 4 AM. (We are six hours ahead of EDT).

 

[Emerald ní Róhan]

Ah. Good to have the info straight. Thanks all!

If it wasn't for your help and patience, I would be stuck someplace, and everyone would move but me. It wouldn't be the first time I thought my computer was haunted, only to find out you have the answer to all things computer. I would be sending my husband to get some new part, when all I needed to do was wait for you to work your magic. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[Azi al'Thone]

You make me out like some sort of hero, Twibli. I am only one man, a man of duty.

 

[Azi al'Thone]

Done, and you guys didn't even notice!

 

[Adolla Ceryia]

I did too, I was in the middle of reading a thread. :tug
