Downtime
« on: June 21, 2008, 11:19:32 am »
Around 20:30 CST yesterday, my Internet stopped working. At 12:30am, brutally tired, I called Shaw's support. She walked me through a bunch of nonsense involving power-cycling and unscrewing all the connectors from the wall to no avail. So she said they'd have to schedule a service call, and the earliest they could do it was Sunday. Gah!

So I went to bed, woke up, and found it working, sort of. It would work fine with my laptop, but wouldn't give an ip address to my server. Eventually, I power-cycled, and it worked fine thereafter.

Some day, I promise I'll get a proper business line with actual support. Some day. :)

<edit> Also, over the next couple weeks, I intend to update all my servers/software, so there may be periodic downtime. I'll try and keep it as short as possible.

Business cable/DSL has typically not been more reliable than consumer cable/DSL, just with static IP addresses, more upstream, as well as being much more expensve in my experience.

Likely going to be a much better use of resources to either get a VM hosted somewhere or colo some hardware of your own at a real facility.

My friends have had a good experience with local business DSL with the local ISP here. They said that, if nothing more, they get good support.

I don't really want to get a co-located box, and I really don't want to buy an actual server (I'm using a desktop). I get pretty good uptime with what I'm using now, so I'm pretty happy. Last night was the first major downtime since Christmas.

I didn't *get* your text, I only got Blaze's.

Do you have my new number? The area code should be 204, my old number was 403.

Your brain is a 404.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Psh, don't judge us.  The only reason you go outside is to scope out the hot babes at the elementary school.

I'm just planning ahead.  I want to make sure I'll get good returns in the future before I invest in something.

Hmm, has anybody else noticed that?

And is it just something recent?

I don't have any torrents or anything like that running, so it shouldn't be slow.

warz, I think the porn torrents are on clientside, not serverside.
