December 2008
- December 24, 2008 6-7:30am. The midcoast.com webmail server
and the lincoln.midcoast.com server were moved around to different
hardware during this time. This should improve performance of those
servers.
- December 20, 2008 11:30pm We had a problem with a repeater on
Georgetown which started Friday late morning. The problem has been
traced down and corrected.
- December 12, 2008 Some of our sites are without power at this
time, as power outages have been more widespread and numerous than we have
generators, and longer lasting than many of the battery backup systems in
use. These include but are not limited to Wayfarer Camden, Belfast, Northport,
Isle of Springs, Rose Hill Ave Owls Head, and Clary Hill in Union. We
will continue to monitor the situations. The vast majority of our sites have
been provided backup power via battery systems and generators.
- December 11, 2008 5:00pm. One of our hosting webservers,
conchita, had some serious hardware problems. We have it running on new
hardware now and are restoring files. Dec 12, 6:00am. We have restored the
operating system and software onto the new computer. Customers files are
currently being restored from yesterday's backup. 3pm. System and customer
files have been restored and the server is working better than ever.
The failed equipment has been replaced with faster better equipment, and
we got a serious horsepower upgrade out of the deal, even though the upgrade
was not done on the schedule we wanted.
- December 8, 2008 There is another round of viral emails
purporting to be from MIS floating through the ether. As a reminder, MIS
won't be sending you attachments, and won't ask you to "register" your
password. If you get such an email, please just delete it.
- December 3, 2008 11:00am. A power outage and surge damaged
our backhaul to the courthouse in Rockland today. A replacement
antenna and radio was installed by about 12:45 and things were back in
service.
- December 1, 2008 Some users at the airport in Owls Head are
experiencing a problem. We believe it is a bad antenna and we are
replacing it this afternoon.
- December 1, 2008 We experienced a problem with the modems for
the 563 exchange at about noon. At about 12:40pm, the power supply for
the router there was replaced and seems to have fixed the problem.
- December 1, 2008 We are experiencing some trouble at Lenfest
Mountain this morning and it is affecting Somerville users. We have
people investigating. This was caused by icing; we will be replacing the
antenna with one less susceptible to icing for this location.
