Planned Network Maintenance - 22nd and 29th Feb (between 4 - 7am) 20 Feb 08

We’ve received notification from the data-centre that during the above period they will be performing maintenance on the core network. This is to install firmware upgrades to distribution switches and to perform cabling maintenance, which will fix a variety of minor issues, and will help ensure future network stability.

During the maintenance period you will possibly see a number of brief outages to servers (less than 2 minutes). If you experience any issues after the maintenance period, please submit a support ticket and we’ll deal with it straight away.

Brightbox at FAB 2008 — Files and Backup Seminars 13 Feb 08

I’m attending the UKUUG Files and Backup Seminars next week (19th and 20th February) in London.  It’d be cool to meet up with any customers (or just random friendly geeks) if you’re around.  Beers are on us.  Drop me a line at john at the Brightbox domain (the uk one) and we’ll sort it out.  I’ll be the one with the laptop and the keen interest in data storage.

Leeds Ruby Thing 4 Feb 08

If you’re in or around Leeds this Thursday, pop over to the Victoria Hotel pub at 7pm for the inaugural Leeds Ruby Thing (for want of a better title!).

No clear plan yet, but expect unstructured discussion of Ruby and Ruby on Rails at least. Plus nice people, beer and geeky tshirts. All welcome!

More details here: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/423116

We’ll put a little sign up somewhere so you can find us (in case a bunch of people with laptops loudly discussing Ruby might be difficult to locate).
