• Movin’ on up

  We’re in the process of changing to a more secure, more resilient, and much faster server.

  Yeah, I know, you’ve heard that before. With our growth rate (the Lounge didn’t exist until a year ago!), it’s very hard to keep up.

  Might take a day or two, but I think you’ll notice a difference.

  Be braced for a little hiccup soon, followed by (Oh man, I hope) clear sailing.

• MS-DEFCON 1: the .NET patches are causing havoc

  Posted on May 9, 2012 at 17:23 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

  Every time we have a .NET patch, it seems, there’s something that goes wrong.

  This time, not only do we have installation terminations (see next blog), I’m also seeing reports of endless loops. From a friend, HH:

  Not sure what MS did with the .NET framework patches but the installation takes ages again and again, very annoying… and after 3 hours I still don’t know if something is broken again because the machines are still installing and the Server waits a reboot.

  I’m putting us up to MS-DEFCON 1: Current Microsoft patches are causing havoc. Don’t patch. And I’m beginning to wonder if Microsoft can ever deliver a .NET patch that works. This is ridiculous.
