Yesterday's problems
On Thursday night the ISP on which Gamestats relies was hit by a lightning storm. Some machines were trashed, but all data is safe. Our apologies to everyone for the loss of service, and our thanks to the GS people for coming up again so quickly(given the size of the problem)

Thanks for keeping us informed!

Isn't it time to get rid of that bothersome association with that crap gaming site, GameStats? Buy your own hardware, and you can keep all of the advertising revenues for yourself!Comment

Boy, talking about storms, on Friday it was pissing down here, and there was this HUGE wave of thunder. Louder than the sound waves earthquakes make, and every window in the house shook...Das Wasser soll dein Spiegel sein
Erst wenn es glatt ist, wirst du sehen
Wieviel Märchen dir noch bleibt
und um Erlösung wirst du flehen.
The water shall be your mirror
Only when it's smooth you will see
How much fairy-tale is left for you
And you will beg for deliverance.

Don't let em fool you people. The forums were hacked by freedom fighters (not me of course). But they can't let the truth be know.

Don't look at me like that Ming, i'm just the messenger.

I don't care, I've run 356/24/7 operations for over 15 years, and I would never leave any machine hot that long. It's just asking for trouble. (and one of our machines was a HP unix 9000 mini) Unix is better but not perfect.

I'm not a systems administration expert, but I've never heard a unix sysadmin saying that rebooting a unix system every now and then is a good thing...Comment

Anyone that lets a server stay up for six months without rebooting it every now and then is an idiot. (not saying that was the cause, just an editorial comment )

That's the difference between a system admin and an operations director, the level of paranoia. We usually took the opportunity to run at least a minimal set of diagnostics. When downtime costs your company 25k to 100k per hour, you take no chances. We did this even though we had redundant processors and hot swap disk arrays. There is no such thing as overkill when dealing with issues like this.

What do you do with the 9/24/7 that are left over?
