I apologize for the delayed notification.

Since Friday, we have been trying to determine the source of the problem. We have tried several possibilities and are now pretty certain as to the cause.

We have a workaround that should keep things settled. In the meantime, we are working on a long-term fix.

Regards,
Doug

Nice to know it wasn't just me or my netbook on a lousy wireless connection!

Long term fix - scrape moldy crust and goop from router. (Easy-Off for networking equipment?)

I had to keep checking other sites, just to make sure it wasn't my new internet service.

That bug is assigned and is being worked on by another person. However, it's turning out to be a bit of a mystery, since there are no changes around that date that would explain this behavior.

and the people search feature seems to be working, now as well. Just have to get the grey back somehow. ;)

We tried to do some maintenance tonight to clean up any remaining traces of the problem earlier this week.

This created an unanticipated resource contention problem which, after other attempts to resolve it, required us to reboot our servers.

Everything should be OK now, and I apologize for the disruption.

Regards,
Doug

that the reboot solves a few of your problems. I think that it's a good idea to reboot a server every now and then, especially if they've been running for awhile.

I was using a *gasp* Windows box the other night and got the "feature unavailable" message. I just thought it was the impact of using an inferior OS that messed things up.

I can remember a time when I was so engrossed in what I was doing on a file server, that I didn't notice the power go out. I kept hearing a beep beep every now and then, that appeard to be coming from the room next door. The room next door was a Teachers Staff room and they had a new robotic toy, that they had been playing with. I didn't even realise that it was the UPS until the server shut down on me. :(

I had a UPS in my back room, beeping away, me wondering, "What the heck is that?"

I'd lost one circuit for some reason, but since nothing but the UPS was running off that circuit at the time, I kept checking the CO detector.

the Lone Ranger. I hadn't any experience with a UPS before that experience. It's not something that I will forget either.

We had an UPS in a wiring closet go off and start beeping during our monthly generator test. This was on a monitored floor, so the nurses kept trying to figure out whose heart monitor was going off, and wondering why it wasn't beeping at the nurses station. They finally tracked the beep to the closet and realized it was our equipment.

Didn't get any alerts yesterday. I'm not entirely sure I got updates for everything I'd subscribed to with my alert today, however.

by rob miners

before I make any changes to my Newsletters. I really don't want to lose what I have subscribed to just yet. Mind you most of the OP's are probably long gone.
