CathInfo server scheduled maintenance

  • The CathInfo web server will be going down for scheduled maintenance sometime this morning (Sunday, 6/3/18)
    In other words, within about 2 hours of this message. I don't know exactly when. 

    The server has been running continuously without a reboot for 338 days. It has no issues except for environmental ones: we have a lot of dust here. Carpeted house, lots of residents, windows often open, etc.

    So I'll be dusting out the server with an air compressor and then installing it on a new shelf when I'm done. I'm going to prepare as much as possible before taking the server down, to minimize downtime.

    I'm hoping total downtime will be less than 10 minutes.
    Want to say "thank you"?

  • Ok, the site is back up! And the server is dust-free for hopefully another year of trouble-free uptime (God willing).

    It's on a shelf up by the ceiling now, so maybe there will be a little less dust when I clean the server again in 338 days...?

    Anyhow, the total downtime was about 30 minutes this time. Thank you everyone for your patience.
