Yeah, I said this a couple of nights ago, but supposedly tonight's the night the Web host actually replaces the wheezing, hamster-powered ancient disk drives that UHub runs on and implants faster, more reliable SSDs (and then we can start doing more playing with tuning the database and the software to make them more efficient).
Yes, that's basically what I wrote two days ago and it didn't happen. Web host said they weren't able to finish synchronizing all the data from the live site to the new drives before the assigned tech's shift ended.
OK, it happens. Woke up kind of optimistic this morning, connected to the server and looked at the metrics that show how the server is performing and, yeesh, awful. Also UHub was dead. Double yeesh.
Turns out the reason data sync'ing never finished was because the database is still doing something that keeps it churning along, writing and reading from the hard drives and the host doesn't want to mess up any possible live data, which is a good thing, because last thing you want is to miss the Best Comment Ever or corrupt it or something, but which meant, again, they couldn't finish moving all the data to the new drives because the data just never stopped (so, yeah, ain't no party like a UHub database party, cuz a Uhub database party don't stop).
SO:
Tonight, sometime after midnight, the tech is just going to shut off the database. Have the best riposte to a UHub post or comment ever? If it's after midnight, write it down somewhere, because the site is going down, hard, so the tech can finish transferring every last thing and then, finally, put in the new drives.
Or so I really hope!
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

Google is said to be shipping a solution for the Chromecasts very soon.
Hope this gets to the bottom of the problems

Looking forward to the new speedier (or at least normal speed) return of uHub.

As of 5:30am.. its up again and seems pretty snappy, noticeably faster response time.
EDIT: I take that back because after I clicked Save.. it took 2 minutes to post.

On the PC, a comment took a couple of minutes to show up. All functions are slow on the phone .
But what about the hamsters?

What will become of them? Will they be shifted to other jobs at UHub or just cast off to fend for themselves?
