Excalibur hardware upgrade
[2004-17-03]

Tomorrow the 18th at 8.15 GMT the Excalibur server will be brought down for maintenance. The server will undergo a hardware upgrade, which should ease some of the server stress, which has increased dramatically since the release of Trials of Atlantis.

The server is expected to be back up some time during the early afternoon.

Shiney new server, Horray :)

Just so long as they change it from an 8086 processor I'm chuffed.

Actually it's nothing like a ZX81 proccessor or more ram.
They changing the fuse in the plug...just in case.

Hardware Upgrade --> Changing cooler to manual administration by continuously pissing on the CPU of the server, i think due to this new personnel cost they cannot afford CSRs.

each "server" is actually a cluster - probably beefing up one of the machines in the cluster.

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.
