Impending Server Nap


Detail of Sleep - Dali

Got a notice from Dreamhost that the web server that hosts my blog (that’s this blog, this one right here) is going to be undergoing a physical move from one data center to another on Friday night, from 10pm PST until 6am PST the next day. In all likelihood, this isn’t going to be a big deal and everything will be right back to normal by Saturday afternoon.

Of course, if the Prius (or Mini Cooper or Yugo or some other mode of vehicular transport) carrying my web server gets a flat tire or something more detrimental … well, we’ll just try not to think much about it and hope for the best.

(Particularly since it appears that this very same web server hosts not only my site, but also Alenda Lux, Miss Misc and the North Fulton Drama Club blog. So many eggs for one basket, eh?)

  1. Then we’ll all cross our fingers.

    Admittedly, Dreamhost has been pretty dependable up to this point, so I imagine that all will be well.

  2. Except for that part where they double-billed customers (including me), and that part where tons of sites were hacked (including mine) because users’ passwords were stored in plain text.
