If you’re a Linux admin, you’ll understand that line above. It basically means we’re overloaded. Everything runs smoothly for most people but its certainly not as quick as it should be and there’s really no spare capacity for traffic peaks.

To fix that, we’ve committed to a new server for UMPCPortal and the product sites that we host. Upgrade will happen at some point in the next 12 hours and there’s likely to be a short 2-20 minute outage while that happens. Don’t panic if the news, forums, gallery and product portal are unavailable for a short period.

Hopefully we’ll see each other on the other side with a faster, more responsive site.

Thanks.
Chippy.

• UMPCPortal limping today.
• Carrypad server is poorly.
