Hi SG, sorry about the downtime today and lack of maintenance cats. I woke up this morning to a corrupt database. It was quickly repaired, and brought back online. However, it was short lived, and our InnoDB tables ended up corrupt as well, which proved to be more challenging to repair. Fast forward the better part of a day, and we're back online.

In related news, we have some scheduled downtime on the way, December 17th (12AM - 4AM EST). Our servers are going on a road trip and moving to another data center. Assuming this doesn't happen, I expect it'll go smoothly.

I brought you some hardworking kitties, they will help out next time, or maybe not.

Glad SG is back :)

So it wasn't Jade's nemesis making good on his threat to destroy S.Gifts through a critical flaw in the system? That's a relief!

It's a miracle when MySQL doesn't corrupt the data.

I've gotten around to thinking "you know, I should stop mocking MySQL, it's almost like a real RDBMS now, with foreign keys and everything". This makes me feel less bad about my prejudices, though. An RDBMS that leaves you with a corrupt database is like a bicycle without a saddle -- you can use it if you really want, but you'll have to have a high pain threshold.

How do downtimes affect running giveaways?. I wish good luck with moving it to the new center.

From past experiences the only effect is that entry is limited. It still runs, ends and selects a winner as usual.
