Hearing Orbital, I Don't Know You (Live)
Hey all -- so following up on some "AIM Pages is under construction" error messages from the last two weeks -- the first outage was a storage problem that started 5/17, and then reoccured on 5/18. Both of these were taken care of.
The following week, on 5/23, the Operations folks started a multi-part migration, moving all of the AIM Pages data to new hardware. That work is ongoing -- the install window usually starts at 3AM Eastern time, and usually ends at about 8AM (there might be some residual effects for a bit after that.)
I will try to give advance warning for the next few installs.
In a marginally-related item, satirical newspaper The Onion takes a look at how outages affect online social networks; in this case, they set their sights on MySpace: "MySpace Outage Leaves Millions Friendless."
Thanks -- Joe

Hi -- actually, I've been pretty slack about posting to the blog. Things like outages and maintenance work that may affect users are things that we need to communicate, so that people know what to expect and aren't surprised.
Thanks -- Joe -
Hey Joe, You have alot to say! It is great advice, but sometimes people need to learn the hard way! Do you have anything better to do than to send out newsletters every 2 seconds?
