We're pulling the plug! And putting it back in a different location! Ok, that was bad.
Seriously though, our data center move -- from San Francisco to Montana -- is scheduled for THIS TUESDAY, November 18, 2008 at 16:00 UTC (this equates to 8AM Pacific timezone) and will last for 4 hours. Unfortunately it'll be total downtime for all our sites and services -- no posting, no reading, no email.
Another
news announcement will be posted on Monday November 17, including links to updated FAQs that you'll want to check out before the move.
As always,
status.livejournal.org will have any updates during the move so bookmark it and check it out for the latest news.
All of us at LiveJournal have been eagerly looking forward to this move and I want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we put the finishing touches on something that will allow us to bring you an even better product in the future.
Though for us in the Ops and Engineering teams, we'll be REALLY happy if, on Tuesday, everything just works the same way it did on Monday. Heh.
