Going down boys

[fathedX]

The vortex missed us this year so no complaints here.  Still, your point is valid and I am jealous of your journey.

Swing by for a few days next year, we can sling Indios together.

HOORAY!

So I guess yesterday's Windows Updates didn't go as planned, eh?

So I guess yesterday's Windows Updates didn't go as planned, eh?

I have a personal Windows PC hooked up through the KVM switch at my desk, and the update also indirectly prevented it from sleeping overnight - I installed the beta Xbox PC app on it, and it appears that the app prevents your computer from going to sleep. It also launches on boot, so when the forced reboot happened overnight the computer wouldn't go back to sleep.

Mine was much tamer - on reboot my PC connected to the default WiFi network of my router (which I must have used for testing one time) instead of my main WiFi network.  Therefore none of the networking worked right as it has a static IP in the main network.  Whoops

[Gantry]

So how long were we down?

[Reds]

By my count, around 3 years or so now...but declining for a solid five before that.

Gantry, when are we going to see the roll out of those recruiting campaigns that were approved at the last dee nee board meeting?

[Gantry]

It's still in committee, my hands are tied

I updated our database server from mysql 5.1 to 5.5 without you even noticing  

Pretty reckless to do during the day but that's how I roll

[nomaaa]

i did notice, i just didn't care

[Gantry]

Going to install Win10 1909 shortly, will probably fuck things up.  Too bad

[Gantry]

We're back, omg

[Big Hath]

I panicked

[Gerlost]

When are you gonna install WinAmp?

[Gantry]

I'm not

[Gerlost]

Don't be a fool

[Gantry]

We got a lot of overdue updates, so probably going to get this rolling tonight.  Going to be down for awhile as I want to make a complete backup of the VHD file first.  Then update php with the webserver disabled.  If all goes well there I'll do the SMF updates.  If not I'll save those for tomorrow.

Anyway, 8:30ish we're going down, probably for an hour.  Make backup plans.
