Bloglines Downtime This Morning
11:30 am - January 2, 2006 in Bloglines | News
Bloglines was off-line this morning from about 3:42am until 7:45am Pacific
Time. Both main database machines crashed at the same time. Despite our
best efforts, they would not come back on-line. We back up our databases
constantly, and are now running on those backups. Unfortunately, what this
means is that if you made any changes to your account in the 7 minute
span between 3:35am and 3:42am Pacific Time, those changes may have been
lost. We apologize for this and are working hard to ensure this does not
happen again.
UPDATE: We need to take the system down for about 10 minutes, starting at 7:15pm Pacific Standard Time (3:15am UTC).
UPDATE 2: We apologize for the extra, unplanned plumber this evening. That was the result of a mistake with the web server configuration files. The plumber apologizes for his error, and we've placed him in a locked box with the hope that this does not happen again.
