Topic: Carrier Pigeon Service

So once again we were down for more than a day? Is there some way, Sol, for you to receive an email or a notice when we are down? Since your email is on the same server that went down, is there a way to have carrier pigeon service to alert you? That was a joke, of course, but the outage brought back visions of the Crash of ‘23 when we were down for a much longer time. I know Booksie keeps you busy, but TNBW is “home” for many others besides me, and I just doggone miss it when it goes down. Just wondering.

Sleepless in Georgia,

Hi MJ, the site wasn't actually down which made this one tricky. A security certificate expired which blocked access to the site. But I am going to put monitoring in place to let me the team know when there is an outage.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I know people are still a bit traumatized from the last real outage.

It feels like another nail in the coffin, Sol. Why should it have been allowed to expire? The trust factor has become an issue. I’ve been here for what seems like forever, and I’ll go down with the ship if I have to, but I’d like TNBW to get its act together, and I hope that is what you’re trying to do.
