Caedes

Caedes.net server gets a holiday

Submitted by caedes 06/02/08 5:41 PM GMT

Over the weekend, there was an explosion at the datacenter where caedes is hosted (The Planet). It knocked out all the power to the building and a couple of walls, but none of the computers were damaged (other than having their power uncerimoniously disconnected). Total downtime was a bit over 24 hours.

I certainly hope no one was in the datacenter or injured when the explosion occurred. :(

Many thanks for the work you did in getting the site up & running again. :=)

What with the Caedes downtime Saturday night? and yesterday, I googled Caedes.net to try to find an explanation but instead found a site that allows you to see how Caedes used to appear (from its inception). It's kind of an interesting voyage!

You will find the 'selector' to the left of the screen. Glad to have Caedes up & running again!!! :o)

Glad to have it back up and running - on a funny side note, my bf has all the computers set with Caedes as the home page - so we had a very brief panic moment thinking it was OUR internet that was out.

Thought our galleries were lost forever for a while, and also realised how a part of my life caedes has become! Sad eh?
Still it gave me time to try a few new things out in photoshop and filter. Glad you are back and hope no one was injured!

I must confess it seemed a lot longer than 24 hours,
withdrawal symptoms abounded lol
It must have been a large explosion to knock out walls. I too hope that no one was injured.

I hope no one was injured and I understand the upset it caused to a whole lot of ppl...but to tell you the truth, I thought it was a portent of the changes you talked about and in the meantime I created a spectacular pic on another site...one door closes and another one opens and it is up to us to take full advantage...

I am happy Caedes it back up and running.. this is my fave site.

The datacenter is using generator power while they rebuild the electrical room. The plan right now is to have another outage on either Saturday June 7th or 14th at midnight Houston time when they switch over to the rebuilt electrical room. They are expecting a 4 to 6 hour downtime if everything goes right. The people at the Planet are doing an amazing job at recovering from this disaster. If they hadn't gone to generator power, the datacenter would still be down. 9000 servers, man that's got to take a heck of a lot of juice to run!

I found your explanation a little too brief, no disrespect implied Caedes. :o) so I've left an : information link here : for other members, & guests to see.
I couldn't believe that Caedes went off-line at first, & I do hope no damage was done to Caedes storage files !! It was a relief to see you back online again. :o)
