There is the overheating problem on site and it forces me to shut down. The following services will be temporarily unavailable.

• SVN repository
• Open Meeting
• Hourglass

Aki may be reconnected but only for a short time until the issue is properly resolved.

(Note: Aki is the main developmental server of Shiroyuki Studio. Last uptime: 7 days)

Due to the thunder storm in Waterloo, ON, Canada, the server might not be able to operate normally.

This is the irregular upgrade requiring the upgraded system (aki.shiroyuki.com) to reboot. The following services are affected:

• hourglass.shiroyuki.com
• Remote Access (SSH)
• Subversion Repository

UPDATE: now, it’s back online.

Push Message service is now back online.

aki.shiroyuki.com is now back online with limited services:

• Project Hourglass
• Remote service
• SVN repository

Please note that aki.shiroyuki.com is now operating without guaranteeing quality of service. It may be temporarily out of service without notice.

shiroyuki.com/www.shiroyuki.com/nikki.shiroyuki.com received the upgraded design.

To get most out of Debian and move my development platform back to Linux, after spending 24 hours on thinking, I decided to upgrade the server from Debian 5 “Lenny” (Stable) to Debian 6 “Squeeze” (Testing).

This means during the upgrade, ONLY Project Hourglass’ official homepage and developer site will be highly possible to become temporarily offline. The main website (incl. homepage, lab and blog) and the official website of Supagarn School of Music won’t be affected by this upgrade.

The plan will be carried out on May 18, 2010 14:00 PM EDT unless I found it unnecessary to do so.

Status Updates:

• 2010.06.01 17:11 EDT (RESOLVED)
• 2010.05.18 00:18 EDT (STAND BY)

Per the recent system relocations, the server “aki” will be demoted from the main server to the developmental/experimental server. This change also affect the quality of services of the server as its downtime is will be at most 90%.

As for now, the server “aki” will go into the offline mode for network reset, as well as the server “fuyuki” (the development server).

FYI, there is a plan on decommissioning “aki” by the end of 2010 or replacing “aki” (Intel P4 2.4 GHz, DDR-RAM 1.5 GB) with iMac or something else.

As of the change on April 7, 2010, there are changes in service availability.

The following service will be temporarily unavailable:

• Push Message Service (http://push.shiroyuki.com)

The following site will be permanently replaced:

• Yotsuba 2’s Documentation (http://doc.shiroyuki.com) replaced by Lab’s documentation (http://lab.shiroyuki.com/yotsuba)

The following service will be permanently terminated:

• Trefoil Hosting Service (http://s.trefoil.shiroyuki.com and http://u.trefoil.shiroyuki.com)

The changes mentioned above are now immediately effective.

Status Updates:

• 2010.06.01 17:13 EDT - Push Message Service is back online
