Database Software Upgrade

by **lackattack** on Wed Jun 30, 2010 1:41 pm

This morning at 5:00 AM EST we performed an upgrade of the database software which should help improve performance.

Fortunately the maintenance only resulted in 1.5 minutes of downtime

That was some quick turn around times. 1.5 minutes! Anyhow I was waiting for it to happen this morning as I took a few turns yet it never did. Anyhow I would also like to point out you had 5:00 AM CST listed. Not a big deal, but something minor. Well done!

I was very positively surprised when I was playing The Hive and noticed that I was way quicker than before

Sweet...can you tell us more about what you did that increased the speed?

Bought more servers? :P

I do believe lack wired a quantum black hole generator to overclock the server CPU:s.

Oh yeah, with carbon nanotubes. Everything is made of carbon nanotubes in the future.
