Notes:
• Monday morning emails, light tech support, and checking things out that happened over the weekend.
• On the phone with Steve going over the game plan for tonight. He is working on a master server and corporation list. We talked about future growth and managing that. We talked about the interns, helpers, reps, consultants, and how best to spread the load. We briefly talked about the adilas user guide as well.
• Ran into a small error on the main server. It was pointing to itself and not letting any traffic go to outside players on sites. A quick call to tech support fixed the problem.

• Tech support, phone calls, and posting new custom PDF documents online for a client.
• On the phone with Newtek confirming the server copy for tonight.
• Setting up the new servers. Settings and tweaks to configurations and such. Went through the main site and made a list of special pages to upload.
• Prepping files for the server shutdown tonight.

• More prep for the server shutdown. An intern came over and started working on galleries. We worked until about 12:30 am and then the other intern joined us for the remainder of the night. When 1:00am came around, we shut down the servers and called Newtek. They were pretty slammed. While we waited for them to copy files, we built a master database list of corporations. We also flipped files around and set different corporations to active and inactive statuses. One intern and I started working on a new login to help with the new server changes.

By this time we had, had the servers shut down for quite a bit of time. We called Newtek and had to stay on hold for over an hour. They must have been slammed. We were almost ready to roll back to the old server. About 5:30am we got notice that the critical files had been copied. We decided to push forward. We remoted in to the new servers and moved files around. This took quite a bit of work. Once that was done it came down to the login process that wasn’t quite done. By this time it was getting late and the servers had been shut down for hours and hours. Pretty soon we started to get emails and phone calls about not being able to login. The interns went home about 6:30am. I finished up the login page and launched the new code. No sooner did we launch it, we got blasted with emails and phone calls about people who had forgotten their corporation key. Tons of emails and phone calls. Everything else seemed to be fine, we just had to help people with their access keys. Super crazy all-nighter! I’m glad that it is over.
