We will be taking thyme.forest.net offline for about 30 minuets to an hour this weekend to address some if not all of the performance degradation issues that clients on thyme.forest.net have been experiencing over the past few weeks.

This downtime will occur on Sunday July 13th, just after midnight Pacific Daylight Time and will last until around 1:00 AM.

We will be taking the following servers offline for about 10-15 minuets each tonight (Tuesday July 1st, 2008) between the hours of 11:00 and 00:00 to apply an urgent security patch released yesterday for these servers.

Update: The date for these update has been changed to July 2nd, 2008 during the same timeframe.

At this time our shared hosting servers bristlecone and durian are experiencing some elevated traffic and are not responding to requests as quickly as normal. We are working to mitigate the extra load on these servers and expect to have server performance levels return to normal within the hour.

Further updates will be posted here as things develop.

The shared hosting named "durian" has experienced a hardware-related failure and is undergoing repair. We will post an update as soon as we have an ETA for it being back online.

Update: Durian is fixed and running again. Thanks for your patience.
