Rich Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Had a bit of a catastrophic event this morning. An upgrade gone horribly bad. Broke the server so daily database backups couldn't be used. Had to revert to a whole server backup which only occurs weekly ... on Tuesdays ... so yeah, almost a week wiped out. Not a good morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaosmonkey Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Was it a plan to do an upgrade during a bye week, incase something broke? Because kudos to you for that foresight. If it wasn't planned, just take the credit anyway =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrg Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 So what you're saying is we have to re-do all of last week's arguing? I'm up for that!

Rich Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Actually, here is an interesting question for everyone. There are some things I could have tried, but only from home, and I won't be home until after 10:30 tonight (Jets better win tonight). So my choices were revert back to last Tuesday or keep the site down for the day and probably get it back with a couple hours work (I'd say my odds were 80 / 20). Which would you have preferred? 1) Have the site down all day and wait until tonight to find out if I can get it back. 2) Lose 5 days of posts My reasoning is it sucks to lose all those posts. but it is usually the current and ongoing dialogue that is more important. Any other thoughts? And lesson learnt, no more remote upgrades..... I seriously didn't think that a failed upgrade could do what it did....

17to85 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 honestly losing posts is OK by me. It's easy to catch up on the usual posting here.

I dont always post well, but when i do, those likes become my sustenance lol jk Atomic, johnzo, SPuDS and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrenaline_x Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I could live without the site for a day as i'm ramping up for snowmobiling season. Depends how much work you want to spend on pulling tables from the old DBs and importing to the current DB. If no one cares then no need to waste more time.

I'll even give you 5:1 odds, since I'm such a nice guy. :-) I feel really confident in this bet, since I read the 2016 version of this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J5V Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 You gotta be ******* kidding me! I did my best work just yesterday! LOL! No worries, Rich. If **** didn't happen from time to time we'd forget that you are human and that machines aren't infallible. I'd like to echo everyone else and say that you do one hell of a good job and that Bomber fans are lucky to have someone like you around. Thanks again for the great job you do.

bearpants Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I usually take a 3 or 4 day hiatus after games (win or lose) so I look forward to coming beck to see what I missed... so while this is disappointing I have to agree with most around here... **** happens, we'll survive... I appreciate all the work Rich and the guys do here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett_c_b Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I could have done without the site yesterday, but only because I was driving back to Edmonton from Vancouver and wouldn't have noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
