If you are the sort of person that likes to get up early, what time do you usually start browsing 914world?
The reason i'm asking, i'm thinking about adding a daily backup to the 914world database and the by far easiest way to do that is to bring down the server for 5 minutes and do a low level backup of the database instead of trying to cobble together a "live" backup. If there's enough of a window between midnight on the US west coast and early morning in Europe, that might be a good time to do that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Build a '914World is down for backup' page and put a button 'I want in!'. Then just track how many times it's clicked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Unfortunately, that would put Australia and New Zealand right around 9pm or so. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Vast bulk of users have to be in NA, then Europe, then APACJ Schedule for minimal impact to minimal number of users and always at the same time, everyone gets used to it being down and stops questions being asked why the site is down (sorry APACJ). Use the time to make coffee, make love, pour a glass of wine, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif), play with the dog, placate the significant other...work on the car? Having the site down might push along the projects (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
