The data center where we house Pocket-Monkey has notified us that they have a scheduled, but short-notice, outage coming up overnight. Unusually, Pocket-Monkey has to actually be shut down during the maintenance window, as they will physically be moving the server.
So Pocket-Monkey will be unavailable (not even a "we'll be right back" message) from 11:00 p.m. GMT tonight (the 24th) until 7:00 a.m. or thereabouts tomorrow morning.
Timeouts will be turned off before we shut down, and we'll leave them off for about a day after we're back.
Sorry for any inconvenience. Sadly we're not quite large enough yet to have multiple servers in separate data centers so we're at the mercy of this kind of (unusual) data center maintenance window. (If you're a savvy type: Yes, a "cloud" solution -- spanning providers, no less -- is very much on our radar, requires some internal tweaking of some very old PM code...)
Thanks, TJ, for letting us know in advance!, as well as for the Time Zones! :)

Ditto TJ thanks for heads up. Always thought YOU were stateside. Pacific: PST is GMT-8, so that's 3 p.m. PST 'till about 11:00 p.m. PST (my 7:00 a.m. tomorrow is your 11:00 p.m. today!).
