If you are the sort of person that likes to get up early, what time do you usually start browsing 914world?
The reason i'm asking, i'm thinking about adding a daily backup to the 914world database and the by far easiest way to do that is to bring down the server for 5 minutes and do a low level backup of the database instead of trying to cobble together a "live" backup.
If there's enough of a window between midnight on the US west coast and early morning in Europe, that might be a good time to do that.
Hi. I check 914world forum often after waking up. Still in bed ...phonebrowser....not waking up the rest here. That would be 0600-0700 cet NL time. (Amsterdam). Today still browsing at 08.15 in the morning is not very common...I should be on my way to work
Offline backups are easier to restore
Thanks for asking us Europeans !
So For Frank that should be -8 hours pacific time.
Midnight pacific = 4:00 pm Amsterdam right?
Where I live close to Toronto Canada (same TZ as the whole US eastern seaboard) Pacific time is -3 hours .
I check in a couple of times a day usually in the morning around 08:00 GMT and agin later in the afternoon between 13:00 and 16:00 GMT.
I start when I eat breakfast, around 6am on weekdays. Then a check in a few times during the day.
I recon I'm a typical world member in the mornings much to my wife's annoyance. Make coffee & look at 914 porn in bed at 7-7:30 GMT timeframe
No time is good as early AM europe clashes with evening West Coast
If you went for something like 5am Amsterdam that's 8PM San Fran, that's prime 914 World viewing
Probably counter intuitive but 10am Amsterdam / Germany (9am GMT) etc is 1am west coast?
Europe is up, had the early 914 fix, dealing with the daily flood of crap emails at work, east cost is snoozing in bed, west coast 914 world goes off line 1am = reminder you have work in the morning
If we are talking 5-10min back up I doubt few in Europe would notice at 9am GMT / 10am Europe / most on the west coast would be also off line by then
My 2 cents (Euro cent)
Just my $.02 is that even if it was smack in my prime viewing time, it's only 5 mins or so.
IMO, since there's never a "perfect" time for this sort of thing, once we all know the downtime schedule, we can adjust accordingly.
I fully trust that Andy will do what's best and with as little negative impact as possible.
Go Andy!
Hi there, I check 914world every day between about 5:30 - 6:30 CET and when I'm back from work somewhen between 18:00 - 23:00 CET
Build a '914World is down for backup' page and put a button 'I want in!'. Then just track how many times it's clicked.
