Just a heads up: Linode, the vendor providing our VPS, has informed me that they will be doing mandatory work on the host servers. This will occur on approximately 2015-03-07 2:00:00 PM UTC -- So roughly 9am US Eastern Standard / 6am Pacific Standard On March 7 (Saturday). They have relayed that they expect the down time to be under 2 hours.
Once again Linode has informed me of mandatory server maintenance. The window this time will be 2 hours after 2015-10-20 2:00:00 AM UTC, roughly 7pm Oct 19 Pacific Time. They anticipate using less than the 2 hour window. Edit: 10/20/2015 -work has been complete. no further anticipated downtime at this time
