Uptime is hugely improved

June 4, 2007 6:22 AM

Uptime and performance have been awesome for me lately. In particular the days of long downtimes when the admins are asleep seem to be over. On behalf of UK mefites, thanks.

Out of curiosity, how much of this is to do with the addition of Windows Server Monitor?

The sad thing is that this means that there are certainly now mefites who would squint in confusion at a JRun joke. Sigh.

Huh. So everyone else isn't getting frequent 'The Connection to the server has been reset' errors?

So this JRun walks into a bar... What? Am I too old for this crowd?

we are not here to mourn Jrun, but to celebrate his life...

yeah, we still have trouble from about 11am to 1pm pacific time, when the server gets slammed. It restarts the java runtime on its own now, but there are times you will get connection reset errors. usually you just refresh the page 30 seconds later and it works, but it's not perfect.

Uptime is great, but is anyone else finding that some pages (the front page is a favourite) never finish loading...?

Aww, our little website is growing up so fast.

I get 'em all the time -- but they last only one or two "try again" clicks, where before they could go on much longer.

Getting those connection reset errors a lot right now.

Everything is slower today than in recent memory. Thanks for jinxing it, teleskiving.

I stopped sleeping, that seemd to help things.

The fucking timing of this post is comical. I'm also glitching today.

Curse you teleskiving, your actions have doomed us all!

I love how hardware gets personified and anthropomorphised in threads like this. I have a mental picture of that Neal Patrick Harris phychic Nazi character from the Starship Troopers movie putting his hand of a giant rackmount server and pronouncing that it's scared.

Yeah, I get them every day at least a couple of times. Unlike the old days, though, they go away with only a few panicked poundings on F5.
