Oh man, I'm wholly unprepared for a few days downtime in so many ways. The best plan, I think, would be to load the shit up in my van and truck it to a new data center. But my BGP is still 'experimental' and only at one location, so that'd mean renumbering, which would be rather bad, I think, for my customer retention rate. But eh, yeah, maybe I should broaden my mind and include battery backed ram as well as cache on flash in my evaluation. -- Luke S.
