You may have noticed some intermittant downtime on the mattfast1.com site.
This isn’t my fault.
Seems Dreamhost’s network is cracking at the seams as they try to integrate two different datacenters (in the same building), cope with LA’s power grid and the Garland Building’s backup systems which break every time they’re needed, and then their core router starts developing problems which may mean an $80,000 replacement needing installation.
Not a great month for Dreamhost, especially the last week.
It’s nice to know that we’re not the only ones having problems. It seems Myspace has its datacenter in the same building, so they’ve been having to deal with the same kinds of problems. They pulled the plug on all their servers after the last power outage, because there was no cooling system in the building and servers like cooling. A lot.
If you have any problems accessing my site, or Myspace, check with http://www.dreamhoststatus.com - that is the off-network status site for Dreamhost, which may help you figure out what’s going on. I’m on baht, if you care.
