Site Maintenance Downtime - Sunday 4:00 PM (PST), 14 November 2004

[sangiro 26]

Heya all,

Dropzone.com has outgrown the current 2 servers and I need to take the site down for a short while on Sunday to upgrade the servers. This will sort out the performance issues we've been seeing (proxy errors etc).

The expected downtime on Sunday, 14 November 2004 is 30 minutes but will hopefully be shorter. Start of downtime:

4:00 PM PST (US West Coast)
6:00 PM CST (US Central)
7:00 PM EST (US East Coast)
Midnight GMT (UK)

I'll give more detail about the upgrade when we're done, but I'm certain this will make a dramatic difference to the performance and hopefully overall user experience on Dropzone.com.

I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Safe swoops
Sangiro

I don't suppose you'd satisfy our nerd lust by telling us the technical details of the upgrade?

This is gonna be sooo cool . . . when it's back up and running.

Let's all hope it goes as sweetly as planned.

Good luck.
