Notice : GFY Maintenance Coming Up This Weekend! - GoFuckYourself.com

TexasDreams · 01-05-2006, 09:58 PM

Time for some major software updates. These will be taking place very late night/very early morning to reduce the impact and downtime. Preliminary schedule as follows.

Saturday morning 2am to 3am PACIFIC TIME
Extra full database backup, probable downtime should be less than 1 hour, more like 30 minutes maximum.

Sunday morning 2am to 3am PACIFIC TIME
Secondary Extra database backup, and full codebase backup, probable downtime should be less than 1 hour, more like 30 minutes maximum.

Monday morning 1am to 3am PACIFIC TIME
System upgrade time, configuration, fine tuning. I'm already testing everything on one of my development servers, but there's a ton of steps involved in this. My printed checklist for this process is currently at 84 pages, which may grow even more before time for the live upgrade.

I'm testing the hell out of everything to eliminate any surprises, so it should all go smoothly. I'll post any further information in this thread as it comes up.

adultchica · 01-05-2006, 10:11 PM

Oh no what ever will I do? GFY is my homepage now! LOL

I have this twisted love/hate relationship with this addictive board.

I will have to force myself to perhaps read the news instead if I am awake during those hours

I had everything just about ready to go for 3.5.2, and then 3.5.3 came out yesterday afternoon. It figures, and it was back to the digital drawing board.

Actually had my degrees in Electronics Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering before you were born. Was writing code since 1978, and working in systems engineering and avionics control systems as well. Haven't been back in a classroom since I was an instructor in the mid-90's. I've found a lot of better ways to make make money since.

That's why I'm testing everything on a development server first.

My favorite quote, Alan Sheppard (NASA's first man in space) : "Dear Lord, please don't let me fuck up!"

Brother Bareback · 01-05-2006, 10:50 PM

dude, see, now you got me all wondering about the upgrade I need to do

I checked out the instructions, only 4 pages, got about 10 miinutes in, and said fuck it

i went to the software companies website and paid them $20 to do it for me

HAHA

boner 2.0 · 01-06-2006, 12:11 AM

As far as the look and feel of GFY, the changes will be very minor.

But the backend code has pretty much been rewritten 100%, and that's why I'm doing so much testing. All the code has been made more modular, to allow features and other updates to "snap-in" as modules. Before, to add any features you had to hack on the original files, sometimes 100's of them just to put in a new feature. With the old code even a minor update was usually a very painful process. Now that it's modular, adding new features will be quick and easy.

dropped9 · 01-06-2006, 09:14 AM

Good luck with the updates man... Im sure we will still get the morons making threads... but thats the nature of the game...
