I’m rarely “off the grid” but while away camping over the weekend the pastebin database seems to have suffered a pretty catastrophic failure. For the time being I’ve reset it while I investigate…
Thanks to the (many!) folks who alerted me!
Edit: OK, I’ve restored a backup from a few weeks ago, which means most recent posts are gone. Many apologies for the inconvenience caused, still looking for the root cause (all the pastebin tables were just *gone* 🙁 ).
The new servers for Geograph arrived this morning, behold the almighty Tower of Power!
The supplier for this lot was World of Computers and they’ve been very helpful in my dealings with them. They were recommended to me and so far they’ve been great. They even deliver the stuff themselves in their own van. I like that. It might cost them a bit more, but they can be sure it’s taken care of in transit and is received by the right person. Nice 🙂
Geograph is a spare time project and I’m on an absolutely monster schedule for the next few weeks to launch a new product, so it could be several weeks before we get these babies racked up. I’ll write more about the architecture of the new setup as I do it…
My better half, the lovely Sarah, is taking part in this years Race For Life in aid of Cancer Research UK. She’s aiming to hit £150 and is on £97 already, so if you can spare a few quid, read more about it and sponsor her online.
Sarah sends big hugs to anyone who sponsors.
