*Server Is Under High Stress*

[George Wallace]

Good thing you have built-in redundancy and power backup. If this keeps up for forty days and forty nights, and the sewers back up, we'll be in trouble.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

No we're OK there too... I have the server on one of the old "black Betty" air mattresses.

 

[Nfld Sapper]

So in other words it will just float away then  ;D

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Yep. Might need some longer extension cords I guess.

 

[Nfld Sapper]

Or it might just be a "floater"  ;D 

 

[George Wallace]

Will you have to measure that cord in Cubits?

Would that also make this a "Pirate Site" ?

Just lost power.......&^%*(%

Had to find some back up power.......and plug the modem in.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Had 3-4 power bumps at home, but the UPS has kept things smooth for us online so far.

 

[PMedMoe]

I've only had one power outage here (near Bank & Hunt Club) so far.

It was pretty dark at about 1610 with all the street lights on.  Site speed is okay, though.  ;D

 

[armyvern]

I'm sitting here waiting for the site speed to slow down or the site to go down, as the sky's black and we get hail the size of golfballs.  It's 1615 hrs and I have to turn the lights on.

I must have brought the hail to your location from Sturgis with me!!  > Baseball sized, and still in the ditch the next morning despite the 100 degree temperatures ...

Here is an example of our Hail Protection System on one of the bikes - lovingly provided by Clothe the Motorcyles:

Not only is CTM practical, but very fashionable too! Speed fine here, how's the weather now?

Sloooow this morning (0600 Hrs Eastern).

I can get on, at a very low speed, from the Linux box using Opera; cannot get on using Linux/Firefox. Nothing possible on the Windows box with any of the three browsers (IE7, Firefox or Opera).

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

One connection was down... it's up now.

 

[Edward Campbell]

That was it!

It's all good again (0620 Hrs) on all boxes/browsers - even IE7, which I normally use only to check when Army.ca is slow or down.

Thanks, Mike.

 

[Edward Campbell]

Dropped connection, again?

Symptoms are familiar: works on one box (Linux/Opera) but not on Linux/Firefox or other box (Windows/Firefox).

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Yep... and we're back.

 

[Old Sweat]

Okay, for the last while the site speed was like 417 at rush hour. It is better now.

 

[Mike Baker]

Yesterday, I thought that the site was down. I usually use I/E, so I tried Safari, which, to my surprise, loaded up Army.ca very fast.

Today, it works on I/E, but is a tiny bit faster on Safari.

Edit because I can't spell :

 

[George Wallace]

Is it only me, or does the whole Internet seem to be slow lately (not just army.ca)?

 

[Rodahn]

Server wouldn't even load this AM about 0500 local, kept getting the "server timed out" message.

 

[George Wallace]

SaaLooooooow!  This Morning.
