00:17 (Fri) - Job done, thanks Toby for doing the update… We’re going to check 20% of sites hosted, if your site has a problem do tell please open a ticket and let us know.

23:49 – Sites are still up, Apache recompiling still… Zzz.

22:35 – Job done – Sites are online, cPanel is up, life is alright (apart from the fact I’m blogging at 22:35 about a server reboot!) Tomorrow we’ll be upgrading Firestar to MySQL5 at 22:30 – will use this blog post.  (22:35:14 up 2 min)

22:33 – It’s pinging again now.

22:30 – Rebooting Firestar now – Kissing goodbye to 245 days, 15 hours 47 mins uptime. Hope to see it again in 5-10mins.

17:55 – This will be live-updated every few minutes both tonight and tomorrow from 22:30 as we’re doing some maintenance on Firestar.3v0.net – anyone affected is welcome to comment, hopefully tonight’s outage shouldn’t be more than 5 minutes.
