Hi motherinferior,

We are replacing the disks with newer, bigger, faster ones. And adding more memory. It should be straightforward.

I might call it six million dollar mumsnet afterwards. We have the technology. We can rebuild it. Better, stronger, faster.

Hi Blu,

I could do actually. I could certainly send an email, which would be quicker as there only unix machines in the data center and none of them have msn clients. Is there a "core" mumsnetter who i can email who can then message their msn mates? Send the email address to use to [email protected] if so.

Thanks,
Tech

Oooh I'm all a quiver, I can't cope.

Tech....just do it....

motherinferior · 25/08/2004 17:02

What parts, precisely, are you planning to replace? And has this been trialled before, or is Mumsnet a lone pioneer, lurching into the techno-sunset?

Cue Tech saying 'I'm 90 per cent sure it'll work' or 'it's a million to one chance anything will go wrong'....

What gets me is that he's enjoying it.

What's worse is that there will be no counter to restoration of service....

Blu · 25/08/2004 16:56

What about people who don't log on until evening? How will they know what's happened? Can it be broadcast on local radio networks, or something?

Tech - can you log on to MSN too, to let people know when the outage is over?

We just don't want anyone to be unaware of what's going on.

I hope it comes back on alright after we replace the parts. I'll get lynched otherwise by the look of it.

While writing the little messages I did think of adding that one from Aliens - you now have three minutes to reach minimum safe distance or something like that anyway.

JJ - what unnerves me is the way it says 'scheduled shutdown' at the end - isn't that what they always say in films when they turn something off and it doesn't come back on and so someone dies, or a spaceship crashes, or the world starts ending??

My god, talk about dramatics - I wasn't even that bothered about the shut down as I probably won't be able to be on tonight but that red countdown makes me feel like I'm waiting for armageddon!!!
