Hello,

We experienced a small outage just after close due to a partial hardware failure.

As the failure was only partial we weren't able to switch that unit over to its backup which meant the site had to go down in order for us to fix it - a situation that isn't ideal.

I'll be working on ways to recover more quickly in the event of another partial outage during the rest of this week.

If you have any questions regarding this, please post below and I'll do my best to answer them.

The solution would obviously have been to take a hammer to the rest of the hardware so that you had a total hardware failure and could recover immediately.

:-)

There seems to be too much of this going on of late.
Like Kayak said above, pop down B&Q and get yourself a decent lump hammer, if not im sure ADVFN have one you could borrow.

:-(

wilbs,

What do you mean too much of late? This is the first unplanned outage in a while...

J.

oooohhhhhh touchy :-)

i think techies should have money taken off their wages for unplanned downtime...every minute it is down...100 gone.....bet that would get them off their lazy fat arses and actually doing something instead of thinking up viruses :-)

might suggest this to our Technical Director!

You've obviously very experienced at this Treble ;-)

money taken off their wages for unplanned downtime that is.

yip there is a well know equation in the IT world...it goes like this

techies = unreliable, lazy twats..... :-)))))))

obviously just MHO

Well I totally missed the outage.

So I'd like to register my complaint herewith.

Treblewide,

No, not touchy, just curious as to the source of such statements ;)

Actually there was one a week ago where although the site was up none of the prices were, and then level 2 was screwed up for the rest of the day. Those count as outages too you know :-)

Rule 1: Never moon a werewolf.

Rule 2: Never miss a chance to either have sex or complain.

Rule 3 Ignore rule 2 if tempted to complain to the wife about sex

Kayak,

I don't count feed outages as that's not something I have control over ;)

J.

That's what you all say ;)

Rule 4.
Never piss in the wind.

Kayak,
LOL!!!

hey choccie , I missed the outage as well... I am outraged:-)
Rule5: have a laugh, it's only money and Trebs a scotman:-)Hi ya trebxx

rule number 6...if a threesome ever presents itself....grab the opportunity...no matter the consequences.

a bit of sloppy shouldered developer side stepping there......one would think maintaining a data feed or having a failover system would be a techie responsibility.

worse than salespeople these techies.

hi me julie...hope you are well..chocco tells me you were both naked during her stay...that must have frightened the neighbours :-)

You've got to get these things right Julesie ;)
Trebs is a ginge

correction...it is only me nuts that are ginge
