2,089,351 Reasons to Put Down the Keyboard After a 26 Hour Shift [FR status report]

Posted on 09/24/2008 9:38:37 AM PDT by John Robinson

Well, the good news first. After installing three very sweet machines and new networking equipment, FR is geared up for the onslaught of traffic we anticipate during this election cycle. All that is left is some tuning and bringing online another database server.

The bad news: I goofed horribly this morning and wiped the articles table, a file that stores crucial information for displaying articles.

Fortunately, the data is backed up. I'm working on restoring it, but it may possibly take the rest of the day to bring it back fully.

So don't touch that dial!

UPDATE: Restored a couple million old articles. Still working on the most recent, which need to be restored from incremental backups (very slow!)

LOL Thanks Kathy. That should hold John over; for awhile at least. ;-)

If (G_d forbid!) some kind of disease wiped out the world’s coffee supply (shudder!) I think this country would be doomed.

I hope I didn’t give any ideas to any nascent Dr. Evils out there.

Hi, Pro....swamped at work, but still feeling deprived because I can’t get into our threads.

John is working hard to remedy this.

Historians will use your site to write the books a hundred years from now. This is more than a forum, it is an archive of living history.
