Heads-Up: Planned LJ Maintenance Tonight

[overlord-zordon.livejournal.com]

It's a good thing I actually read my RL flist, as I was alerted to this. LJ is scheduled to be down for maintenance between 10PM and midnight PST tonight. lj_maintenance has this to say:

In an effort to reduce the instance of database errors on the site, on Friday March 10th we will be taking a 2 hour maintenance window starting at 10pm PST (GMT -8). During this window we will be upgrading some components of our database architecture, and whole or parts of the site may be unavailable to you. Though the intent is to keep the total downtime as minimal as possible (under 20 minutes), we reserve the entire window to work on any unexpected kinks. We'll be posting ahead of time and following to update you on our progress.

So, just a heads-up so none of you are as traumatized as we were the last time LJ got brokenated.

But so help me, if LJlogin gets brokenated by the upgrades again, I'm gonna . . .

ETA: Seriously, I should turn off comment notifications on this post. But y'all are cracking me up.

Your plots kill LJ.

I don't mean to! My fingers just get all slippy and then I hit this big red button that says "Do not touch" and...

Ooops?

[nadiathesaint]

Is it a jolly, candy-like button?

Because then all is forgiven.

and if no one else gets that reference, I will cry.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Shiny, candy-colored button! YES!

We need to hide it somewhere safe! *flails*

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

I could orb it the neutral plane if you like, it'll be safe there

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Slarti is hopeful because it's just a database thing but... might be a good idea, yeah. *nodnods*

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Consider it done, nothing can touch it in the neutral plane, not even LJ techs! *orbs login to safety*
