System Software Upgrades - Tues, Jun 30, 2009

[Pedersen]

I'm sorry for the short notice folks. Meant to post this on Friday, just ran out of time to do so until now.

This outage is going to be more noticeable. We're doing some system software upgrades, installing a whole new web service (more on that later), and a system reboot (hey, every computer needs a break sometime, right?). Expected duration is up to 15 minutes of sporadic issues, and then all will be back to normal.

Scheduled time is 6:30am GMT, Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Times around the world:

11:30pm, June 29, Edmonton, Canada
1:30am New York City, USA
6:30am London, England
7:30am Cape Town, South Africa
3:30pm Sydney, Australia

Most system upgrades are now complete. Still dealing with one issue that could result in your periodically seeing "Internal Server Error"s. It is being worked on, and should be gone entirely within 15 minutes.

Okay folks: All is good now. I've gotten the updates done, and things seem to be back to normal. If you see any issues, please report them.
