Blog Outage Coming (Really)

Last night I got word from our ISP that blogs.setonhill.edu will be down sometime this weekend.

The reason is that the physical machine on which our blogs reside is being transferred from one owner to the other.

The new owner plans to continue service as usual, so if all goes well, your blogging pleasures will be briefly interrupted, but should continue as usual.

I’m backing up the site in another window as I type this, and the ISP is burning a copy of the whole thing onto a CD which will go along with the machine, but it wouldn’t hurt if you backed up your own site, too. —Blog Outage Coming (Really) (New Media Journalism @ Seton Hill University)

FYI… since the announcement won’t actually be visible on the site when it goes down.

  • Update from the new sysadmin, posted after 1 this morning:

    The plover.net machine is here and plugged in. Unfortunately, it dislikes my console switch in an exciting way, and it is in the midst of unning filesystem checks. Should these checks be uccessful, it will be up nce they're done, I hope. I've been awake for most of the last 20 hours, after about two hours of sleep, so I'm not going to be able to do anything very productive until I've had some sleep - presumably later "today", after I've slept for a few hours.

  • Finally - No kidding. I think this was supposed to happen like, 3 months ago. (hehe Yeah, 'cause the software I write is always done on time...uh-hu...)
