evening all, (bends knees and looks stright into camera)
It's been a trying week, what with the "Royal wedding" (not even a invite to the knees-up afterwards) and all this fun and games, any chance we can get it a little better next time rather than, on and off like a strippers G-string, i was getting quite dizzy going around and around this afternoon!

You know why we're getting all these server problems don't you?
It's because you still use Microsoft servers. Don't you know that's asking for problems?

Ignoring the fact that, during all of this, it's either routers or the Solaris Single-Sign-On server which have been causing the problems. The DNA servers have been working perfectly well.

"The DNA servers have been working perfectly well."
No, they've had their down-time too. NARTHUR7 has had the most dropouts recently with NARTHUR0 coming in second - though these were minimal in comparison with the really bad patches of previous years. However, all were out of action just before noon on 20050224.

"For whatI have seen the 24th it was more like a router problem followed by 'Solaris Single-Sign-On server' problems.
Hmm,the 'Single Solaris Sign Server On' , I can finally picture the Single in this story."

Ah, I see. Do you mean Sun Solaris?

Not sure what other kind of Solaris I could mean. Yes, Sun Solaris.

"No, they've had their down-time too."
But in this case, all the problems were caused by other parts of the infrastructure failing, not the DNA servers directly. That's what I was referring to in my message.
"NARTHUR7 has had the most dropouts recently with NARTHUR0 coming in second"
Not sure where you're inferring this information from, but NARTHUR7 hasn't been in the load balance as a DNA server since September last year - it's currently handling all the requests for the Hitchhiker adventure game on the radio 4 site. Requests to www.bbc.co.uk/dna aren't passed to it any more (although it is still running and up-to-date as a DNA server).

"where you're inferring this information from"
The server logs. So not so much "inferring" as referring.
NB If their information is accurate then I've seen many more dropouts of BBC service than are accounted for by that. I already suspected as much though because the dropouts have been affecting MBs and even BBC front page whereas the rest of the (non-BBC) internet pages I checked were fine. So the problem has definitely been quite close to the BBC somewhere (but apparently outside various specific sub-sites and logged servers).
"the Hitchhiker adventure game on the radio 4 site"
Doesn't that include saving game status to dna/h2g2? I hadn't run a statistical check on which servers were showing up in normal dna status requests recently though. The last time I did could well have been before the new incarnation of the game.
