| | | Sorry about the downtime! < on 11/11/2009 5:55 PM >
| | | Hi everyone, As I'm sure you are aware, UER went down at about 8:30 PM EST on Monday, November 9th. It came back online around 12:30 PM Nov 11th (today). The downtime was caused by a failed power supply in our server. I didn't have a spare part available, so I had to order one from a company in Mississauga for $230, which took a day. I'm glad the downtime was so short, compared to how long it could have been. (Sun's lead time is 16 days on parts). I don't have a service contract on the server. They are very expensive, and I don't have that kind of money. The donations we collect on this site merely go to pay the monthly hosting fees, and not server parts. Those come out of my pocket Cheers and enjoy UER! Your loving admin, Av

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit. |

| | | Hey, 36 hours down for such a massive failure isn't bad at all...my site's up to 6 months 28 days and counting with a rather fundamental flaw (new users can't activate accounts) that has defied all my attempts to solve it. +100 internets to Avatar-X for being able to find and solve the problem in 212 fewer days than me!

| | | Very nice on the lack of down-time considering the extent of the failure. If that same thing happens at my company the affected server is down for a minimum of 72 hours.

| | | Thanks for all the behind-the-scenes work on the site, Av. Too often we forget that it's not all hairless bear fun and name-callings but that a real dude is actively keeping the site functioning.

| | | Thanks for getting it up relatively quickly! EDIT: Also for those of you on windows machines who have to visit this site through an ip address instead of UER.ca, simply run -> cmd -> ipconfig /flushdns This should make uer.ca work instead of having to use the server's ip address.

Ahhh, I see. It's still a good server! Maybe some of the more tech savvy folks here could get a look at the dead PSU? I could probably fix it, but by the time you sent it here and I sent it back the cost would prolly be about that of a new one. Local electrical engineers? PM Av aboot that. Chris...

Turbo, IU PSU units are a real pain to repair. Trust me, I've tried.
