Temporal Reality may be offline for two hours late Thursday night - Early Friday morning, according to ProBoards. Here is a quote:
EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE NOTIFICATION
DATE: FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 2004
TIME: 01:00 AM CENTRAL TIME (GMT -06:00)
LENGTH: 2 HOURS
After an extensive review of our entire power supply and distribution system after the damage on Saturday we have found one PDU (Power distribution unit), the equipment that sits between the UPS and client servers, that needs significant repair and/or replacement. The parts required, including a cold spare, are on site and standing by.
Though this unit is still functioning, initial evaluations and scans indicate that it is not operating within acceptable parameters. We feel that there is a greater risk by NOT doing the maintenance and/or replacement as soon as possible. Being in control of the process (being proactive) would be much better than being reactive in an emergency situation.
Regrettably, your server IP listed above will be affected by this outage. Your server will loose power at 01:00 AM as listed above and will be out for no more then 2 hours. We ask that you shut down your server just before 01:00AM local time as listed above to ensure that your server is taken down gracefully. Because of the number of servers involved we will be unable to individually shut down servers. Please monitor the forum (forum.ev1servers.net) as to the progress of the maintenance. As soon as the maintenance is complete we will re-power the circuits to your server. We will have extra technical personnel at the Datacenter to ensure that all servers come back up as the power is turned back up. We will make a post as soon as the maintenance is complete.
Thanks for your continued understanding.
