GFY Upgrade still coming up Sat. night & Sun. morning. - GoFuckYourself.com

TexasDreams · 10-05-2006, 11:00 PM

Just another reminder, the board will be down for some major upgrades this weekend. This one is bigger than any of the previous ones that I have done, and will take a bit more time.

I've been testing all of this so much for the last month and a half, it's ridiculous. For the last six weeks I've put in at least 16-hours a day or MORE, every single day. The actual upgrade will be smooth as silk, but the horsepower and processing time can't be shortcut, and is pretty damn severe. With 11M posts and 1M threads, the server gerbils aren't just running the Boston Marathon, it's like they get to run the Indy 500!!!!!!

GFY will go offline right around midnight Pacific Time on late Saturday night, and will probably be back online around 4:30am Pacific Time Sunday morning.

On the development servers the ACTUAL processing time was 3 hours, 20 minutes. Then 21 templates had to be totally rewritten. Those 21 templates involved rewriting 15,000 lines of code.

I've got everything nicely documented, checklists all prepared, and unless the entire United States experiences a total national black-out, I've already tested every conceivable possibility for doing everything in 4.5 hours or less.

Even though all of this will all be completed under a new FULL moon!!!

All I have to say is I hope they are treating you well ($$$) for keeping this beast running.

Can't wait to ride the new hardware!

Many years ago, the finest engineer I've ever known had a great quote.

"There is no magic, there is only hard work."

This upgrade will go smooth, and the resulting features that will come from it, will have peoples heads spinning, and wondering how the hell it's all done for years to come. The next 30-days are going to be a mind bender.

Bet the ranch on it.

Pleasurepays · 10-05-2006, 11:41 PM

if the updates include anti-troll protection, there is going to be about 30 to 40 people here who will have a rough monday.

It's going to be more than that. Because Jeebus loves me, and he hates trolls, idiots, fake nicks, contest bots, and people that can't follow SIG rules.

p.s. - the cross is just part of my Halloween costume that UPS finally delivered today.

madawgz · 10-06-2006, 12:08 AM

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
