Forthcoming site downtime
The blogs.perl.org site will be unavailable for a few hours during the night of February 16th to 17th 2017. The site will stop responding at approximately 21:00 UTC on the 16th, and is expected to be back by 05:00 UTC on the 17th.
The reason for this downtime is that the data centre where the site hardware is hosted is being closed, so our hosting company is transporting all servers in that data centre to a new location.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Waxing philosophical
Speaking of downtime, whatever happened to the beta of the site makeover?
The beta is still running, as described in the TPF post about it. I haven't been directly involved in that project, so I'm afraid I don't have any news about it.
