As I posted to the original "control panel" issue, the whole site was not down
yesterday.
This appears to be an internal issue with Jurgita since the rest of the site
appeared to be working fine. If it were a server issue the entire site would
have been wiped out, at least temporarily.
well.. not necesarily. I'm no IT guy but...
Imagine this scenario. Say at an arbitrairy time total contents of current
server are copied in preparation for a potential switch to new server. Meanwile
site is still running on the whole server. Then copied contents are then dumped
onto new server. While this happns IT guy either goes to lunch or falls asleep.
Time passes, site is still runing on "old" server. IT guy comes back/wakes up,
checks that new server properly set up, and "PPOF" makes the switch to new
server. Fine. Except that all activity which occured after the old contents were
copied for the transfer to the actual switch is now lost in the twilight zone,
along with my missing socks...
IT guys such as Kar Mui may have more technical explanations, but that is the
extent of my IT gremlines theory.... Why do we struggle to paddle upstream while the river is taking us where we need to go? |
