APUG Down For Major Upgrades This Thursday 11am (EST)

[K-G]

I wish you the best of luck , Sean . Here are two classic pitfalls to look out for.

1. Make sure that all code hackers agree on whether to start register counting on 0 or 1 .
2. Watch out for the leap year gremlin when it comes to calendar construction.

Please don't ask me how I know.

You'll need one of those indicators that show up when you are installing software.

In parts of Germany at Thursday the hot phase of carnival starts. Thus some german members will be busy otherwise anyway up and through Tuesday...


Thank you for your efforts!

You will. I will. We all will. Sorry to break the bad news to you.

I do not want that Brian. If I move from Philadelphia to LA, will that diminish my aging process by at least three hours? - David Lyga

"Keep calm" ... oh and we're out of coffee.

Coming back from Vietnam, the trip was 22 1/2 hours. So I got back an hour and a half before the plane took off. Technically I had a day of my life to do over. You could give that a try. Just make sure to travel eastward, so that you don't cross the dateline getting there, or you will lose a day. ;-)

On another note, will Tapatalk still work with the new system? Anyone know?

I will save my software migration horror stories for after the site is back up and running.

May the force be with you! Where I work, we've been migrating and rewriting old systems over to a new, currently supported environment, and we're almost done with the conversions. I feel your pain.

 

[Stephen Prunier]

I'll be pulling for you. Hope to see everyone again SOON!

 

[skorpiius]

Can't wait for that new forum smell

 

[Trask]

It'll be interesting to see what going cold turkey on APUG feels like...Good luck with the migration!

medieval helpdesk for introducing new systems

Hi All,

The new system will quickly evolve from your feedback so please be patient the first week or two after we re-open.
---------------
If you have any questions, feel free to post on this thread.

Thanks to all for your support and making this possible! Sean

Hi Sean,
Introducing a new system is always a big strain for the helpdesk. That's a fact of live, even since the middle ages.
So here is a tip to deal with this by learning from history - the story of a medieval helpdesk in a monastery after introducing the book:

You'll have 3 days to go through his entire catalog.

So far nobody has hit the kill switch. 11:03 EST.

The sun has set. Or has it?

Who gets to make the last post ?

Me?

It was a hoax. Someone hacked Sean's account

Bye for now
