As you're probably aware, I separated Information Center from my main blog to www.informationcenter.tv. In addition to providing a portal for adding more feeds, etc., part of the rationale was that the downloads of the August CTP pushed me over the download limit with my hoster. As this is a personal side project, I went out and found a separate 'free' hoster to handle the bandwidth challenges. Going through my email over the weekend, you can imagine my surprise when I ran across the following:
"I don’t know where to start to share with you the joy and fun on running upgrade!
We are still running testing on our mirror environment. While we think we are getting closer, a few buggy issues pop up and we are still debugging. If everything goes well by EOD tomorrow, then we will start upgrading our production environment next week.
What does it mean to you?
<hosternameomitted/> will need to be out of service for about a week. Our schedule down time is
September 18th 8:00am PST till September 24th 11:00pm PST
If there is any specific information you’d need to pull off from the production environment, please make sure you do that before next Monday."
The hoster has had very little downtime in the last year, which is why I chose it, but they're upgrading all their servers to Office 2007 B2 TR. I've heard they could be online sooner than a week, if so, we'll get it posted sooner.
Watch this space for announcements.
