Dear all,
Beex will be down for approximately one hour at 9pm tomorrow (Wednesday, 14th December) while the database is transferred.

Please start all complaints "Dear Craster,".

Thanks!

Note that the actual switch will not take place for a few days after that, but that will be fairly quick.

Unacceptable, what do you think we are paying our £2's for if not for %100 uptime?

I think we should aim for at least 110% uptime.

Some cunting thing fucked up and wouldn't let the database replicate remotely. Hopefully it's an issue with the host, because Space Cows (which connects to a different database server) doesn't work now either. Or I changed something without even realising. Cunty cunting cunt.

It's mysteriously started working this morning, which suggests it was just bad luck after all. The slave still can't connect, however.
