Scheduled maintenance: 6/19/2014 - 11:00 - 13:00

[LiroyvH]

Hello everyone,

On the 19th of June, our datacenter has scheduled a maintenance window between 11AM and 1PM. (GMT - 04:00)
The maintenance is a stress test for the electricity circuit, to check if the batteries and generators can properly switch back and forth.

We do not expect any downtime, and actually hope that as well, as the hardware should function properly.
However, last year the datacenter did have massive power problems in the datacenter we've been moved to earlier this year.
We expect they have everything sorted now, but just in case; should you see our website popping off the web: no worries, don't panic, don't draw your weapons just yet: we should be back again shortly after.


Thank you.

Life, don't talk to me about life. Loathe or ignore it, you can't like it.

[Irisado]

Thanks for the heads up.  That shouldn't interfere with when I'm normally here, but I'll have a backup plan in place just in case .

I have a special cat detection kit, you can't hide from me .

And from this I see that Core is from Holland lol, I was about saying the same thing xD

As a side request can't you sticky this for these 2 days then unsticky it when it will be done?

[Arantor]

Because this board is fairly low traffic, not to mention the fact that most users don't read stickies around here anyway.

[kat]

Hehe, we'll see

I have every confidence in ya, matey.

[Arantor]

It's the data centre we have less confidence in, I think...

[kat]

[Arantor]

It's never Gizmo's fault.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

It's his his fault to me

[Arantor]

Interesting, you found my Facebook profile picture.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

For sure as your name and surname is present in one of your most famous mods, a quick search revealed a similar profile image you had here as Arantor and of course kinda obviously it's the same person

[Arantor]

It's really not hard to find www.facebook.com/arantor after all But no, nothing to do with me.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

Yeah indeed as well. Wonder how to find me then? www.facebook.com/Flavio93Zena even though I have a famous italian youtuber as a profile image
Flavio: my name, 93: birth year, Zena: Genova, my hometown but said in dialect
And yes I can see you are pretty much right, not too many people are using this board so sticky would be useless >.<

[LiroyvH]

And from this I see that Core is from Holland lol, I was about saying the same thing xD

the Netherlands != Holland.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

Also, this.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

Yeah I knew that it was Netherlands but being tired and with my girlfriend talking to me while posting I used Holland also because in Italian we say "Olandesi" to address people from the Netherlands, also Netherlands are "Olanda" or "Paesi Bassi". That confused me and posted wrongly. Sorry.

[Kindred]

wow... Italian is screwed up...  it uses the same name for Holland and the Netherlands...

[Arantor]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland

The name Holland is also frequently used as a pars pro toto to refer to the whole of the country of the Netherlands. This usage is generally accepted, but some individuals, particularly from the other parts of the Netherlands, dislike the use of "Holland" as a substitute for "the Netherlands".

[mashby]

Yay, Wikipedia! Useful for some things, rubbish in others. Generally accepted by whom?

[Arantor]

Most of the people I know couldn't tell the difference.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

Anything related to this? The whole site has been down for like 2 hours to me. See attached.

[LiroyvH]

No.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

But was it another scheduled thing? I have seen any announcement about it

[kat]

Probably an automatic screen, when the server has a wobble.

Calling the Netherlands "Holland" is much like calling England "Yorkshire", I've always thought.

I've only been there five times, myself. But, I have to confess, I loved the place and it's people.

Except Eindhoven. They were well-weird, that lot...

[Kindred]

it was not a scheduled thing... but the message that you got on the screen clearly explained what was happening.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

Ok thank you for your informations

*runs in the corner afraid by the up-to-come maintenance time*
