SITE UPGRADE INBOUND

500% raise

At least it won’t raise hell with my taxes….

500% raise

I was afraid of that.

[Camo tung]

Let's get to the important part shall we ?!?!! How much of a pay raise are the mods getting ?

No raise but your allotted days each for use of the corporate jet is doubled.

And the sheep, don’t forget the sheep.

They dropped that years ago after Rory got kicked. Word has it (ok, BSD) that the mods get new flesh-lights each year. Actually they mail them back in, the site owner shakes up the box live on Facebook then mails them back out. Wouldn't want to be the mod getting the flesh-light mailed back from the Lab of Deadly Prototypes.

I'm not sure how Telos will mirror the 2 servers, I don't think this outfit has a big budget for technological greatness. You may feel some loss and disorientation.

Uh, that's how I normally go about my day, can I expect any real changes???

If it goes sideways and some maniac named Jose Cruz is posting crazy stuff in the facebook ground, I don't know who that is.

I've seen that crazy Mexican dude before, pretty sketchy!
Although, it looks like he has a lot of fun.

That's why I picked one that is easy to pronounce.

It helps to know Gaidhlig, though

We had a border collie/blue heeler that was just nucking futz, so we decided we'd get her a puppy to maybe settle her down. The day before my birthday, I came home with a 10 week old doberman. As she was my B-day present to myself, she was my little party girl, so named her Ceilidh. We ended up moving about 6 times in the next few years, so always going to a new vet, watching them struggle to figure out how to pronounce it was a great form of entertainment

I might be putting Harbl The Cat down this week... maybe it's time to start a new account...

Oh shit Nick, I'm really sorry to hear that. Granted, he(?) has had a great run, it doesn't make it any easier.

What are the chances Telos is going to answer any of the questions on this thread?

First and more importantly, what are the chances he is even going to read them?

Says you. Rumour has it that thing is running a turbo’d 6V71 Detroit now.

I dunno...he's losing his edge as he gets older. Against his wishes this is the pic of his recent first tattoo...

I'm not sure that's what was meant by "Two-Stroke Joke."

Will we need to re-sign in with our passwords on the new site?

That's my understanding from his description above. The system clone (system B or the back-up) gets the upgrade and tests to eliminate any operating issues and at some point the switch-over occurs where system B goes live, all new and shiny. At that point I would expect we'd see something similar to a freeze and a prompt to log in again.

Once we know how the upgrade has to happen, we will let everyone know what it looks like.

Rough Plan:

Clone production
Test and break until we get a repeatable upgrade procedure
Lock out production
Clone production
Upgrade clone
Test
Point DNS at upgraded clone
Unlock new production
Run amok

[SIR VEYOR]

Run amok is snafu here.

Which is a good thing!
