Server outages

MetaFilter, MetaTalk, and Ask Metafilter might be sporadic over the next day or so, as the server hosting the DNS has died for now. Hopefully that server will be back tomorrow morning, but if not, you could hack your hosts file to point the three domains at 209.10.108.201.

If you see the sites unreachable by morning, that's why.

Upgrade in progress

Just a heads up, I'm in the middle of a slightly messed up software upgrade in process - expect things to be broken for the next few hours

Why is Plastic down?

I realize this topic has nothing to do with Metafilter but, does anyone have any idea what has happened over at plastic.com? The site went dead on Tuesday night and I have been unable to get any information? Apologize about this, but would appreciate any information. Thanks in advance.

Server Downtime

Sorry about the downtime -- it turns out that storms and thunder and lightning make the power in Brookline, MA go away for a short bit. Thank goodness for the wonder of uninterruptible power supplies and graceful shutdowns...

Upgrades in the Works

Uptime will probably be sporadic over the next few days while I do some software and hardware upgrades. On the upside, I get to bask in the glow of the server while I do the upgrades.

Servers and delfuego moving, expect downtime.

Tomorrow, I’ll shut down all the computers that still live in my old apartment in New York (including the one running this site and the MetaFilter server), drive them up to Boston, and set them all up on the new T1.

Expect downtime. MetaFilter addicts take note. You have been warned. We now return to your regularly scheduled flamewar.

Sorry about the downtime

Sorry about the downtime, I was moving from one place to another, far away. Things should be back to normal now.

MetaFilter Offline

Was anyone else offline last night between 6 & 11 p.m. PDT besides me?

MeTa seems very slow today and MeFi isn't half as zippy as usual

MeTa seems very slow today and MeFi isn't half as zippy as usual. Instead of starting bothersome "Is it only me?" threads like this one, is there a way users can determine for themselves whether it's the server's fault or something else?
