I realise the site has been a bit 'sticky' of late and I see that our server has a higher load permanently now.  I do keep the site light to keep it running efficiently but this morning I was having real problems loading pages and there was only a couple of people on.  If anyone else experiences any timeouts or broken pages when browsing, please let me know here so I can take it up to my host.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

My ration is fuxxored.

- but other than that, no issues.

They have slimmed down some of their own routines and are upgrading the kernel to see if that gets the load down, but it's good that the site isn't spitting errors just yet.

The server has had a Kernel upgrade and I have never seen the site so fast - although I can feel a 'famous last words' moment coming on ..

I've been informed that the servers are to undergo some network maintenance which requires a core server reboot.  Sometime over the weekend we'll go down for 15 - 30 minutes but I'm hoping they'll be up and running without issue afterwards.  I think it will happen around 1am Sunday eastern yankee time so we should be quiet anyhow, and the only Brit awake at that time in the U.K is Goldie.

I had a shot connection problem a minute ago.. a 'server could be busy' kind of one. But it sorted itself quickly.

We have also had a kernel upgrade over the last day or so which should of in fact, improved our service.  However, as with these things there may be some 'teething'.

From our main host;

Maintenance Notice

Dear *,

We are contacting you to inform you about some upcoming emergency maintenance.

We have to replace one of the electrical breaker in our data center that would affect all the servers on one rack.

You are receiving this maintenance notice because your server is among the servers which will be affected by this emergency maintenance.

This is scheduled to be performed on Thursday (December 2nd, 2010) at 2 PM EST, and the estimated downtime is around 30 min, however we are forecasting 60 minutes to be safe.

We are sorry for the short notice but delaying this could risk the stability of the servers on this rack.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation with this.

I guess so.  That's dinner time for me but I'm back shortly after 8pm so if it's still down, I'll get right on it.
