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.

That's because it's international!  Replying to mine wasn't.  :)
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

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.

Just thought I'd say it before anyone else does. :) *shrug*

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