Identi.ca down [UPDATE: not any more]

Identi.ca is currently down; I just got off an airplane. We had a flood of new users and posters over the last 24 hours, and the extra traffic seems to have sunk our database server.

I'm trying to revive the server (it's currently re-starting), but I might take the opportunity to move to our new data centre. If we're down, maybe it's time to do the move. Watch this space for details.

Update 14:50 PM PST: I can't seem to revive the main database server, so I'm copying data to another server in the same data centre to see if it wants to wake up.

Update: The DNS TTL on identi.ca is far too high for this to work tonight. I'm going to dial it down and hopefully move next week.

I'll be moving the main servers for Identi.ca to our new data centre in the Rackspace Cloud. This is going to require a lot of data copying, so there's going to be some downtime while it moves. I expect somewhere between 4 and 12 hours.

There'll be a new blog post up with status updates on Thursday.

Unscheduled downtime for Identi.ca

We had about 6 hours of unscheduled downtime tonight due to a bad slave server.

The site is back up now. Sorry for the disruption.
