Site Outage

[ted]

Hi. I'm Ted, the tech guy who runs everything in the background.

I just opened a few messages just 20 minutes ago that the site was down.

It turns out that a change I was working on late last night impacted the access to the database. It was supposed to be setup on a non-production network port, so as to not cause this very scenario. But I made an error in the number of the port I typed in.

And then I had one of those days at the day-job where it was meeting after meeting plus a few emergencies. So I didn't read the notifications in my email until several hours after I cooled off from the work day.

So. It's completely my fault. Just a typo in my work. It took me a mere few moments to correct it once I was aware.

I apologize. And hope the outage didn't cause too much havoc.

Thanks for understanding.

Thanks for taking care of it Ted! I am just happy I don’t have to reload the documents I have uploaded over the years. Tim

Worry, but no havoc. You guys do a great job, especially when you consider what you are being paid! I think we can survive a day without the Tribe fix (not fun, but I kind of think we will survive).

You ARE appreciated!

On that note, I should say, I have THREE different locations online that your data is being backed up to.

Believe it or not, about ten years ago, I was using TWO backup locations and both had data and process failures at the same time that we had a server hardware failure. I had to restore to an image about 3 months old, a lot of data lost.

Very recently, I have restored deleted files using the backups. So I know they're in working order.

So a restore wouldn't be fun, pretty, or quick. But it would be very unlikely to ever lose the data. (I feel like I jinx myself to make claims like that.)
