There were several short wikitech outages last week caused by heavy
machine load on the server that (among other things) hosts the site. In
an attempt to distribute load a bit more reasonably I'm migrating that
web host to new hardware.
The transition should be fairly graceful as the new host is already up
and running. There will be a few interruptions in service, though:
- During the move the new wiki will be read-only. This should only last
about 10 minutes or so during the DNS switch-over.
- After the move there will almost certainly be a series of mishaps
involving the labs-controlling aspects of wikitech. I'll be scrambling
to fix them and don't expect to spend more than hour or so; I'll follow
up with another email if the interruption is an longer than that.
- As usual, login sessions will probably be broken necessitating a fresh
login to wikitech.
This is scheduled for Midnight GMT Tuesday, February 10th. That's 4PM
PST on Monday.
