Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

AWS outage

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

 Current mood: terrified

I read the news, lots of it, with emphasis on the NYT, WashPo, NPR, BBC, the Guardian, and the Irish Times.  I read a lot of history.  A LOT of history.  Yeah, terrified.

House prices in Donegal are pretty damn cheap compared to California.  If that seems drastic, so many people I know have said they're done and have moved overseas or are in the process of doing so.  I've wanted to live in Europe for as long as I can remember.  Unfortunately, the WBH is very happy here, and that sort of decision is an all or nothing.  

Next up: find some largeish stiff cardboard, something that's long enough it can be stapled to, take my largest Sharpie and get ready for Saturday.  When even the introverts are ready to go outside and protest, you know it's bad.
