Yes, it is seriously nearly Third Quarter already. How the time does fly.

So, nothing serious scheduled this quarter. Should just be a reboot and off we go. Just a 1 hour window, this time.

1st July falls in the middle of a week, so it won't happen then.

Next proposed day is 4th July. So, here is the proposed time and date for our Q3 reboot:

Sat Jul  4 12:00:00 UTC 2020

Please note that is in UTC. Please do appropriate math to make it land in your timezone. Please also note that UTC does NOT do DST. UTC is always UTC. What other time-zones do as far as DST and such concerns UTC not in the least.

Please let us know ASAP if this will cause you great distress. “I don't want to be up that early/late” does not qualify as “great distress”… You don't need to be up. Just us here at MUSHPark have to be. That's what you pay us for.

Unless someone has convincing reasons to change, this will be the day and time at which the Q3 reboot will happen.

As always, if you have questions or concerns, you know where to send them

ALL DONE! Yay! Enjoy

Second reboot shortly. Nearly there.

Main part of the OS patching is done. Still a bit to go, but getting closer

We're reached the first reboot. Moving along....

We are starting. Games will go down shortly. We will be back ASAP. Hopefully less than two hours.

Q2 maintenance is today!

Due to circumstances beyond their control, the RhostMUSH dev team lost their hosting server.

So, I set them up with us. RhostMUSH development is now hosted on MUSHPark! Wooo!

If you are interested (and you should be), head on over to:

rhostdev.mushpark.com 4201 (4202 for SSL)

RhostMUSH is a great MUSH engine, with lots of features. Check it out!

Q3 maintenance: My own schedule is a mystery to me!

Sat Jun 29 15:00:00 UTC 2019

This is our NEW official date and time, currently.

Sorry for the confusion.

Owners, please check your email for further details

Snapshot is complete. Rebooting the system, now. Should be back in business in 10 mins or so.

Games are down. I've started the safety-net snapshot process. When that is done, we will move on

We are going to start the process. Games will be shut down in a few moments. Be patient. Check back here. Check with Oleo on the games he posted that he would be on. BE PATIENT. Please.

We are about 45 minutes out from the start of our maintenance. Down and up as soon as possible when we do it.

A request came in to re-schedule, and I have no issues with it. We will be doing the maintenance at Sun Mar 31 15:00:01 UTC 2019 now. Still, quick and painless.

It is almost time for quartery maintenance again. Time sure does fly. So, on Mon Apr 1 00:00:01 UTC 2019, we will be doing a reboot. No OS upgrade this time. That will wait until Q3, at least. Quick and painless will be the order of the day.

WOW! That was WAY fast. Love it. All done, now. Enjoy!

Reboot is underway. Back ASAP

We are about 30 minutes out from our 1Q2019 maintenance window. Should be nice and quick.

Tue Jan 2 04:00:00 UTC 2019 will be our frst quarter maintenance. Just a quick reboot. Y'all can math-out what time that is in your time-zone. I'll try and keep the blog updated.

Game has moved. DNS is propagating. Should be most places, by now. If you still get a 'connection refused' give it a bit (go outside *GASP* or something).

Data transferred. DNS Thoroughly FUBARd then fixed. Nearly there.

Syncing data and waiting for DNS to update.

Here we go, folks. Should be a fun time for all. Right? Well... OK, maybe fun is painting with too broad a stroke. Should be painless, though.

0900 Eastern (1400 UTC, 0800 Central, blah, blah, blah) Shang will move from the old game server to the new one. Hopefully, all will be well. More information as it becomes available.

Annnnd...back. Why? Who knows. We'll be sorting out what to do...

I hate this network. Maybe not the network? Yeah, that's not likely. More info as it's available

Another network blip. As suspected (at least by me). I'll be discussing things with nails.

Not sure what's what, but we are unreachable. More as it becomes available.

Annnnnnnnnnnd we're back. No idea what happened. Much frustration.

Wow, these guys are great, right? Game server is up, but appears to be having issues reaching its default gateway. No gateway, no talking to anyone. So... We just have to ride it out. But the server is definitely up. I'll let you know when I've got more information.

Maintenance is all done. Thanks again to Vanity for reminding me, and thanks to everyone for their patience!

So, after being reminded by Vanity (THANK YOU!!!!), we're doing our maintenance. I'll post again when we're back up and running, or if there are issues.

Hey, folks... It's a MUSHPark blog. Nothing big. Nothing too complex. Kind of only an update thing so that people have a place to look if the main game server is down. Information and such. Questions? You know where: support@mushpark.com
