The server on which this site is hosted was out of service this evening for about three hours. I am awaiting an analysis, but the data so far indicates that it was something like a power supply failure on the computer. Those of you who get withdrawl symptoms when "The Coffeeshop" is offline ... remember that there's a status page at http://www.wellho.net/share/status.html and that I flag major problems with any of our machines on a "stop press" box on http://www.wellho.net 's front page. Sorry about the problems ... |

Ouch. Hope it wasn't / isn't a denial of service attack?

I'm still at the "please await the results of the investigation" stage. |

Had a database error earlier! Sounded quite serious.

Yeah ... with the server located in a network centre and any emergency actions performed by engineers who are very good at fixing hardware issues, but less good at communicating back as to the details, I don't know fully what the trigger was - though I've got a reasonable idea. The database error message that you saw has a bark worse than its bite  |

Please note that our server is being relocated between 10 p.m. on 10th December and 7 a.m. on 11th and will be unavailable during this period, according to a notice I have received from the company who provide the system and its connections. I have been advised to take a full backup ahead of time, which doesn't indicate to me that they are 100% confident in what they are doing ... I'll provide any status updates needed at http://www.wellho.net/share/status.html - and can I suggest that you bookmark that page NOW as once the system's down, this page won't be acccessible. The status page is also where I post about other outages |

5 4 3 2 ... a countdown to remind you that the server will be unavailable from late tomorrow evening until (all being well) Friday morning. Not totally in my hands ... so make a note of the URL for the status page ...

In preparation for the downtime, I have been running some tidy and backup scripts - sorry for any brief interruptions And there may be one or two more yet. We *should* just be down from around 10 p.m and back by 7 a.m. ...
