Tomorrow Pair will be upgrading FreeBSD on both of our webservers. The upgrade process will probably take about 10 minutes on each box. They'll upgrade the first box at 12pm EST and the second at 1pm EST.

If people want to continue chatting and stay informed if any updates are needed please join #perlmonks-status on irc.slashnet.org.

Thanks again to Pair for providing hosting for the site. This morning they swapped out and replaced a drive that was throwing errors, before it became a real issue.

Downtime tomorrow will more than likely be minimal, and the site will more than likely be partially available at all times. However, I just wanted to warn everyone of the upgrade in case we run into issues, or they experience intermittent availability tomorrow during the upgrade.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
