Zooomr Downtime 26-10-2006 PSA (With Video!)

A quick update — some of our hardware died and since stores are finally open here in the states, I bought and replaced much of the problem earlier in the day. As of right now, I’m restoring from where we left off!

We’ve still got quite a bit of files to transfer and the like, so please bear with us. :)

With love,

-Kristopher

    These things happen with technology, but it’s great that yourself and Thomas are so upfront about it and don’t try to hide what the issues are.

    Good luck and see you on the flipside.

    Kris, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. Get some sleep, man, you look beat! I’ll wait a few more hours, no sweat. Seriously, hit the sack for a few hours!

    I just went through a major hardware failure on a server at work myself. It was a hellish 48-hour marathon getting everything back online.

    I hope everything gets better soon. Good luck!

  6. Kristopher Tate Says:

    Everyone, thanks for your kind words — things are coming along over here — I’m hoping to bring the service back online by later tonight (PDT, GMT-7)

    Ping, that does sound hellish, and in fact much like what I’m going through! Good-times. ;)

    Yeah, it was a 2-disk failure on a RAID5 configuration. Always fun. ;)

    Oh, man, you look really tired. What DID die? I mean, did any photos or other data of users get lost or something like that?
