You people are SO demanding!!!




Post 35 from PaoloM

His statement is: "Eheh...

If I were to show up tomorrow, and I'm not saying I will or not, I would choose a leisurely hour, like, say, 10am PST. Or shortly thereafter."

Thanks, Scribble. I'd XP you, but the Dark Powers are informing me that I need to spread the XP love around some more before I can give it to you again.

Can anyone help a fellow out?

Weird, I just launched it and it said up to date (not that the server was down like normal)

Ditto.

I get server could not be accessed....
Hmmm... very interesting...

Thanks Scribble for the note.... I am hopeful!

=)


Eeek the Dark Powers are telling me the same thing.... Curse you Dark Powers!!!

My complete and utter WAG is the following:

Paolo indicated that the COmpendium would be down today between 7am and 8am PST while they update from sql server 2007 to sql server 2010. If they have multiple update servers, and they are doing rolling updates, it is possible that some people owuld see it down, while others would see it up.

Again, complete speculation on my part.

I'm absolutely sure that's not what they're doing, because neither SQL Server 2007 nor SQL Server 2010 exist (the most recent versions are 2005, 2008, and 2008 R2).

PaoloM indicated they were going from 2005 to 2008.

But that was concerning the Compendium outage. Not the more mysterious "show up at 10am PST" bit...

Um! none of those versions of SQL Server exist 2008 R2 is the latest release of SQL Server as far as i know unless SQL Azure is being refered to in some quarters as SQL 2010.
Not saying that they are not updating the databases, I really would like to see an update.

Yeah. I typed that pretty bad. I will blame it on this work thing getting in the way of posting.

It is SQL server 2005 to 2008.

Yeah. That is something completely different.

 

[Stumblewyk]

Yeah. That is something completely different.

Gasp! mudbunny tacitly confirms that there is something coming at 10:00 am PST!
