Network maintenance tonight (non-impacting)
The datacenter network maintenance that caused the outage yesterday was rolled back and will be performed again tonite (Nov 3 0800 GMT). It was supposed to be non-impacting, as is tonite’s maintenance. The Cisco bug that caused the problem has a work around and it will be employed this evening.
We’ll be monitoring things on our end – should there be problems remember to check the chatrooms, Twitter or status.slicehost.com. This maintenance is in preparation for the core cutover scheduled for next week.

AHHHH! It’s tonight! Night! I really hope my webhost isn’t run by teenage girls who blog via text message.

Apologies, that was a bit harsh. Thanks for the update, I apparently need to take my “spelling nazi” pills.

Does this mean you’re getting any closer to offering new accounts?

Oh Matt you should be ashamed of yourself.

gaius – separate issue, but we are getting close.
tom – bad habit of mine due to constant chat/text and needs to improve.

@matt: That’s some impressively bad customer service right there. Not even the RIAA publicly derides their potential customers.

@gaius – I was teasing James because he was right and I changed the post. I guarantee he didn’t take it that way. It’s a joke – smile.

Sorry, I misunderstood the threading. All clear. I’m glad I didn’t remove myself from the queue in my hot-headedness. I do appreciate how communicative you guys are.
