As you probably didn&#8217;t notice, since we rarely see a lot of visitors, we had a major outage last night.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/57\/34\/84\/573484233cd43805189dd9cbe1ab7c65.png\" width=\"375\" height=\"436\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The reason for this is simple and hopefully will improve things. As you no doubt noticed, we have been experiencing outages over the last few months, some lasting minutes, others a couple of hours. We had another one over the weekend and had to get our hosting service involved.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Macaque-Selfie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19152\" src=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Macaque-Selfie-264x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Macaque-Selfie-264x300.jpg 264w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Macaque-Selfie-500x569.jpg 500w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Macaque-Selfie.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When we got the site back up, they commented that we were on an old server and would we like to move to a new one. Well of course we would! The hosting service did this and completed it after both I and the Angry Web Idiot had logged off for the night.<\/p>\n<p>Silly me, I should have been paying attention. The move was completed and they notified us. We didn&#8217;t see it until this morning, (Actually I didn&#8217;t see it. That lazy idiot Webmaster is still asleep. He insists on getting 16 hours a night), and when I tried logging in, saw that the site was badly broken.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/72\/d3\/0c\/72d30ce700ec7aac8d89fd6875d91c14.jpg\" width=\"420\" height=\"240\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was finally able to get in and locate the problem. It was another plugin we used for years for statistics on clicks. I went in to the file system, renamed it and the site came back up. Being a masochist, I tried loading another stat program and the damn thing crashed the site again.\u00a0I went back in under the radar, renamed the folder and the site came back up.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of things on the back end that are going to need some cleaning up. However, we hope that the new server will provide better stability and performance. We do apologize, (Or at least I do, That Angry Retard never apologizes for anything. He just blames everyone else for what happens. He must be a secret love child of the Bidens)<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your patience during this trying time.<\/p>\n<span id=\"wp-postratings-42756\" class=\"wp-postratings\" data-nonce=\"56cf5f5577\"><span class=\"wp-postratings-vote wp-postratings-scale wp-postratings-shape-star\" style=\"--wp-postratings-shape:url(data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%27http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%27%20viewBox=%270%200%2024%2024%27%3E%3Cpath%20d=%27M12%202.4l2.95%205.98%206.6.96-4.77%204.65%201.12%206.57L12%2017.46l-5.9%203.1%201.12-6.57L2.45%209.34l6.6-.96z%27\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\" data-post-id=\"42756\" role=\"radiogroup\" aria-label=\"Rate this post\"><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-42756-5\" name=\"wp-postratings-42756\" value=\"5\" data-rating=\"5\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-42756-5\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>5 Stars<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-42756-4\" name=\"wp-postratings-42756\" value=\"4\" data-rating=\"4\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-42756-4\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>4 Stars<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-42756-3\" name=\"wp-postratings-42756\" value=\"3\" data-rating=\"3\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-42756-3\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>3 Stars<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-42756-2\" name=\"wp-postratings-42756\" value=\"2\" data-rating=\"2\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-42756-2\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>2 Stars<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-42756-1\" name=\"wp-postratings-42756\" value=\"1\" data-rating=\"1\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-42756-1\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>1 Star<\/span><\/label><\/span> (<strong>4<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>5.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"wp-postratings-text\" id=\"wp-postratings-42756-text\"><\/span><\/span>\n<p><em><strong>~The Angry Systems Administrator~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/dr_strangelove_1ed07.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-13627\" src=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/dr_strangelove_1ed07-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/dr_strangelove_1ed07-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/dr_strangelove_1ed07-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/dr_strangelove_1ed07-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/dr_strangelove_1ed07.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings all you nice people and 1400 bots now hitting the site.
