Updates & Downtimes
I am pleased to announce that I have worked out a deal with Rackspace to get moved to their new cloud solution. This, of course, will mean some downtime on Lussumo.com (and sister-sites) sometime within the next two weeks. I’ll be announcing the exact time after I get everything in place.
I’m even more pleased to announce that the Garden code has now been opened up to a handful of developers from the Lussumo community. We’ve made the transition from SVN to GIT, which is proving to have a bit of a learning curve for me, but should assist greatly with the distributed development that a project like this needs. They have also set up a trac issue tracker and are in the process of creating a roadmap and bug & incomplete-features list. We’ll be making that open to the public around the same time that the public beta goes out. I have to give a hearty thanks to Damien Lebrun (Dinoboff) who has been leading the charge in all of this progress.
Nice work Damien!! Oh and you too as well Mark
Can’t wait to finally see it!
Awesome news, Mark.
I can’t wait.
Exciting!
most awesome! Looking forward to seeing some action here! Is it hosted on Github?
Not currently, no.
Hmm… I’ve been procrastinating on learning Git. Guess I have a reason now
Shucks… just when I’d planned to launch my site and needed the community advice… I wish you’d blocked posting to the community but allowed browsing during the transition… Anyhoo, can’t wait for Garden! (grass, always greener, in another garden)
Seems like everything is going well as mentioned on you Twitter. So if I’m correct, I’d say everything should be ready today before the end of the day? That would be awesome if it’s possible.
On a side note;
Also, maybe I should have put my two cents in when you wanted to figure out why everything was so sluggish on the forum @ http://markosullivan.ca/blog/?p=491
Same thing happened us over at Delicious.com. I can’t give out too much detail, but to make a long story short, it’s happened before with some colleagues of mine, the guy’s over @ mash.yahoo.com, but that’s since closed down a while ago. But hey, none of this happens because of our web services we use nowadays over @ developer.yahoo.com
Any who, enough about all that. I’d be glad to help you out anytime Mark, that is if you need any.
Mark,
Several parts of the site aren’t working. Two features I tried to use which aren’t:
* Viewing a list of add-ons by user on the account page ['A fatal, non-recoverable error has occurred.']
* Downloading add-ons [The zip will appear to have downloaded, but it will actually be a text file containing a PHP error. The error is a 'No such file or directory' readfile error.]
If there is an alternate place to download add-ons in the meantime?
I just now saw these new comments – sorry I missed them before – my email was going through the dns move just like the websites were. All of those issues should be fixed now!
Mark,
How was the move over to mosso.com? Very interested to hear your experiences with the cloud!
Hi Salman – So far so good. I haven’t noticed any downtime or slow periods. I’m well within my allotted bandwidth and computer cycles (although I must admit that I still don’t fully understand what that means or how it is measured).
It is a little strange getting used to doing things across multiple machines rather than on a single server. I’m definitely not used to the lack of root access (on some of my sites).
