Back online

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the recent downtime of about five hours. The server was under rather heavy load and got shut down. I still haven't determined the root cause.

Again, my apologies for the downtime!

So far so good

Looks like smooth sailing so far on this new server.

We're migrating...again!

Hi everyone, we're migrating... yet again! 

 Please remember to flush the DNS cache in your router, your OS, and your browser.

Half hour downtime while I upgrade the server [DONE]

 DONE

Hi everyone,

I'm going to try a temporary measure of upgrading the server to avoid these performance issues. I'm doing this to try to identify whether the problem is poor performance of the host or some sort of performance problem with my configuration. So we'll be down for about a half hour while it upgrades.

Again, my apologies, this is an frustrating for me as it for you.

Still working with the host for performance improvements [DONE]

 Done.

It will probably take about 24 hours for the new IP address to reach everyone. If you still can't access the new site, please try to flush your DNS cache. Remember there can be as many as three DNS caches: On your router, your OS, and your browser.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Working with the host to improve performance again. We'll be offline again unti about 21:30 GMT. My apologies!

Hi everyone, BLF will be offline for about 2 hours until aproximately 19:00 GMT while I migrate the server to a different datacenter. There will be no configuration change and the migration should be seamless. But it will take several hours. You may need to close and re-open your browser and/or flush your DNS cache to get the new IP address.

Sorry about this, and thanks for your patience!

Quick server reboot [DONE]

Finished.

Hi everyone, I'm going to be doing a quick server reboot to upgrade the underlying operating system. Should only take a few minutes.

Down for maintenance [FINISHED]

Done.

Should be done around 02:00 AM (GMT). Sorry for the inconvenience!
