Is it a Record?

[CMJC]

Rocko 'tilted' this week, and was reset for the first time in over 200 days.

From memory, what's the longest non-stop run at FQ?

[Arthur]

200 days is far from a record, 2 - 2.5 times that is not unusual. I don't know the longest uptime, we have had some backend systems run for several years.

Not bad, but only only hosting servers count for this record.

Any idea the current leader, since Rocko toppled its giro?

[Arthur]

There are currently 11 hosting servers with an uptime of 448 days.

Blimey! Get the bloke who set those eleven up to fettle Rocko please.

Don't tell me... he launched a dozen that day, and only Rocko tripped up? :)

Thanks for that word, fettle. I was guessing it meant to put shoes on a horse until I read the dictionary.

Seems to have been (http://www.aota.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20421) those fine fettlers, Terra and Kevin.

Kitchin: Where I come from; a farrier fettles horses hooves.

So in this case ol'Terra would summon the CTO's able assistance thus:

"Oi! K-K-K-Kevin, Rocko's fallen of his perch again, give him a good fettle, and a wipe with yer'oily rag."


CTO: "Righto Tel... arf a mo, I'm 'jus feedin t'ferret."



Staff: So 448+ is the current target to beat?

I have had a site hosted on Sonic since April 2002 and can recall only one (very short) unscheduled outage. Had there been others it is extremely likely I'd have noticed. Now vigorously knocking on wood...
