The state of things…

June 17th, 2009 — 12:38pm

A few band-aid solutions were applied to the server situation over the last couple of weeks. For the most part that has worked pretty well, though there are plenty of times during the say where we are seeing considerable slow down.

Well, that is about to improve big time. Over night and into the early morning on the 19th, everything is getting moved to new servers, in a new data center. So by sometime early on the 20th, all should be well. Just wanted to update everyone on what’s going on. Thanks!
