Recent downtime at last few days, at evening (peak time)
November 28, 2008, 07:45 PMWe are experience major instability on one of proxy clusters, and working to eliminate problem.
Today we made changes, that will minimize downtime in case of crash (instead of hour or minutes - few seconds), and we are working to investigate reason of problem.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for being a part of VISP.
Mail server maintenance
November 8, 2008, 11:55 PMThe SMTP mail server (usermail.globalproof.net) is scheduled for maintenance
from Saturday (November 8) from 11:00pm to Sunday (November 9) at 6:00am.
This downtime will include a minor reconfiguration and other
maintenance activities to address future performance needs.
During the scheduled down time, you will not be able to send your
mail.
Depending on how your mail client is configured, you may still be able
to receive mail during this period.
The SMTP mail server is one of the most important and heavily used
servers in the VISP and finding a good time for maintenance is
very difficult, as it is always in use. This time period was chosen in
order to impact the least number of users while providing adequate
time to complete the maintenance before the start of work week.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Updates will be posted on the blog.
Further reminders will be sent as we get closer to the maintenance date.
Improvements
November 6, 2008, 10:24 AMWe have done minor changes, to improve browsing experience at peak time.
Probably tomorrow customers will notice changes.
And i wish positive :-)
Ethernet surge protector DIY
October 28, 2008, 11:04 PMFor people, who have skills to assemble that. If you dont have, find friend who can do that.
Instead of many diodes D1-D7, you can use DB107.
Dont forget, you need PROPER, GOOD grounding. Dont use "zero" wire in your sockets, water pipes and etc.
Here is also schematics of simple "UPS" for switch, or broadband router or wireless. Sure parts will vary, depends on required voltage.
If you dont have protection, better unplug your appliances from sockets, and ethernet network during the lightenings.
