It's certainly been a long week. For those that noticed WE Speak and the Shadow down this week (amongst others) it was because of a rather catastrophic failure of the server. For the geeks, the server was using RAID 5 and when one drive went, everything was switched to a second drive which promptly failed taking the whole server and all of it's data with it. A new server using RAID 10 was put in place and a long and painful backup process began. The deep backup software being used has some drawbacks, one of which was a very long restore process. The whole process took approximately 30 hours. Fingers crossed that this is the last of my server problems for a while. I've got more than enough on my plate without having to deal with this kind of stuff.
Over the weekend I hope to catch up with posts here and begin moving forward with some stuff on Citizfaction. A Candidates Info night has been booked at Phog for March 31st, starting at 7pm. Once I have all the presenters finalized I will be publishing all the details. I had a quick chat with Chris Holt this evening and Citizfaction and Scaledown will be working together to present Town Hall/Candidates nights for all of the various wards in the city. Ultimately I would also like to do one for the Mayor's race, but that is a somewhat bigger project and I would like to stay focused on the Wards to begin with. Anyone interested in helping out with Citizfaction during the campaign,
