With only slight delays, the platform went back online from the new data centre at 04:45 this morning.
A big thank you to our technicians, Alex, Felix, Dominic and Oli - they worked flat out all night long. Thanks also to Maria, for extensively testing while simultaneously looking after the guys.
We all met in the office at midnight, armed with coffee, Red Bull buscuits and gummy bears - everything that we needed for the long night ahead.
As we knew, any number of things could go wrong with such a complicated move. What we hadn't reckoned with though, was a disruption to the internet in the Berlin region shortly after midnight. The internet, and therefore our server was not working properly for almost an hour.
So with a delay of an hour already behind us, things finally started to move. Not for long though - a problem with the nameserver meant that the DNS updates were delayed even further.
So because of all of these unavoidable problems, we are over the moon to have been able to stick to our original timetable. Things are, as far as we can see, running perfectly.
Despite tiredness, we will remain in front of our screens, making sure that all those nice green lights don't start flashing red.

Well done!!! Sleep well tonight.
So nice, well done
Thanks guys and girls. Didn't notice a thing!
Thanks all, but I was unable to get into my site on Fri & Sat, Apr 18, 19. Also, I have a troll on one of my blogs (Seduction - x - Satire) and some people believe him to be James N. Sears, also known as Dimitri the Lover and Josephthelover. He is know for being a pest on LiveJournal.ca. and is considered dangerous by many people.

What do you get for your Red-Bull-Ads? Sorry, just kidding...!
Thanks for all your efforts.
I am not a person that gives up easily, but I am sorry to say I am experiencing such difficulties with blog right now that I am giving up for a while and will try again in a few days to see if the problems have resolved.
My post "sorry" explains and you can see from some of the comments on it that others are having problems opening my blog so it is not something that is happening from my end. Also I have sometimes been unable to see more than the first page of recent posts and unable to comment on some friends posts etc. Last night it took me about 40 mins to do a 10 min post with 3 pictures.
Best wishes
