Sporadic Downtime

February 12th, 2008 by phoenix

From my last post, you will know we gained some SpiderPort Atoms which we intend to roll out as soon as possible. However these spider ports run on 10BaseT network connections, which is to slow to use them as part of the network backbone. So, we’ve decided to add a second network card in each server and use that for the SpiderPort.

Unfortunately, our spare network cards are not always that reliable and as such, it may take time to get each server back up and running. Service will therefore be somewhat sporadic, to keep up with what servers are up and which are down, check out our Twitter feed at http://www.twitter.com/freeside.

    I never knew freeside even had a blog. This is an outrage.

    It’s fairly new, so not surprising.

    Comment moderation (now that I know it was turned on) is now turned off.

    fraid not. we managed to piece together information through google, the shivaport manual and the edinburgh tardis project (who afaik still use spiderports) but we found ours were faulty so gave up on them
