Hard Drive Failures On Three Servers – Sites Affected

Posted by Ariane with No Comments

Three servers are in early hard drive failure. Gertie has ordered Data Retention and all sites on affected servers will be moved to new hard drives ASAP, but because it’s three servers she isn’t sure how long it’ll take.

These sites of mine are on the affected servers:

According to Gertie, there will be no data loss but might be some downtime while the sites transfer.

Hiatus

Posted by Ariane with 2 Comments

I’m going on a hiatus for 1-2 weeks, due to personal, health-related reasons. During that time, I’ll deal with any server issues and problems and script updates as normal should there be any, but all other things will be on hold.

The main hard drive on the server http://www.bloodvelvet.net and http://www.jewel-staite.org are located on is failing and needs to be replaced. Gertie is working on it – if the sites go offline, don’t worry – there are backups and they’ll be back ASAP!

’The L.A. Complex’ Not Renewed for Third Season by Canada’s MuchMusic Channel

Posted by Ariane with No Comments

The low-rated Canadian soap about wannabe stars chasing dreams in Hollywood to possibly end after sophomore run.

The CW drama The L.A. Complex isn’t getting a callback from Canadian broadcaster Bell Media for a third season.

That signals a possible end to the low-rated soap from Epitome Pictures about Canadians chasing the Hollywood dream.

The CW has made no decision on the future of the series on its channel as it holds crunch talks with the Canadian producer, according to sources.

Stephen Sohn, executive producer of Epitome Pictures, said the producer is “still exploring its options for the series,” which include The L.A. Complex possibly landing on another Canadian network.

Bell Media ordered an initial six one-hours of The L.A. Complex and aired the soap on its MuchMusic channel, before The CW acquired the Canadian transplant for its schedule.

The Canadian broadcaster said that the ratings for the second season were well down from the first, leading MuchMusic to decide against a third season order.

The L.A. Complex was created and executive produced by Martin Gero, who wrote for HBO’s Bored to Death before returning to Canada to write the homegrown drama tailored for the U.S. market.

The series was sold to 170 territories outside Canada.

The ensemble cast included Jonathan Patrick Moore (Neighbours) as Connor, an Australian with a dark past, and Cassie Steele (Degrassi) as Abby, a Toronto girl looking to make it far from home.

The L.A. Complex was also executive produced by Linda Schuyler of Epitome Pictures.

Cleaning Up & Refined Alert System

Posted by Ariane with No Comments

I went through all my sites today, checking that all scripts, plugins etc. were up-to-date and also did some general cleaning. I’m also taking into a use a further refined alert system that makes it possible for me to post hiatus, server problem etc. notices both on my main domain Crystal Fires that must have everything and only to the site in question (when it comes back online) unlike to all my sites like before – it’s also possible post it on the main domain as well as to either all sites if all are affected or to say to 3, if only 3 sites are affected. So less off topic news to each site with this upgrade.

This post works as a test of the refined system: if everything works as it should, this post should show up on all of my sites.
