Since I haven't noticed this anywhere on my f'list, and since it's happening tomorrow:

LJ News on the server move


"The long-awaited server move takes place this Tuesday, November 18, at 8:00 a.m. PST. We're moving the site from servers based in San Francisco to the servers in our new data center in Montana. A massive data move like this takes a lot of heavy lifting, and to haul all that data from San Francisco to Montana, we have to take the site down, starting at 8:00 a.m. PST on Tuesday morning. We don't think the move will take more than four hours, but there's always the possibility that it could take longer (the best laid plans and all).

What Does This Mean for You?

During the downtime, nothing on LJ will be available—no posting, no Friends page, no LJ mail, nada. When we bring the site back up, we're going to ease into it rather than open up a floodgate of traffic. Posting might not be immediately available or the site could be slow to load for a while.

Gah, I don't even know what I'll do on the internet without LJ! Oh well. At least I'm fairly busy on Thursday.

Good thing I'm going to be out and about doing things in the actual fresh air tomorrow! I won't miss LJ at all...but it better be up and running by dinner time, oh, yeah!
