Update to site, did you notice?

Post by StefanIsMe (imported) »

There was a warning on the front page last week.

Update coming: Website was to be down perhaps two days! Eeeks!

I prepared myself for horror...

And then....

Instead of a potential Kaboom, there was but a "Poof!", and voila; a seamless and un-noticed upgrade to the site by Tal... ask any website maintainer how often THAT happens!

Just wanted to go public with my thanks to Talula and The Nun for what turned out to be the most inivisible site upgrade I've ever seen.

Thanks guys!

Thank you sir. Yes, most of the time we can be prepared for everything then the unexpected turns a project into hell.

The nice thing was this website was running and just needed to move so for the most part we had the old server talk to the new server and drop everything into place.

I'll knock on wood though. This weekend I was involved in a very simple project where we took backups of all the configs and data on a corporate email server and needed to do nothing more than install some hardware and reload with the lastest operating system. 12 hours later we finally got what should have been an 3 hour project.
