As regular readers have no doubt noticed, the server interruptions here have become a significant issue, particularly during the mid-morning hours.
Good news, though – this evening SDA is being migrated to a new, more robust server. Let’s hope this solves the problem.
Thanks so much for your patience with this.
Good luck, Kate. Let’s hope it all goes according to plan.
The wait will be well worth it. Good luck.
Good luck with your new server Kate.
Comparing my own ISP needs to yours Kate is comparing apples to oranges or potatoes for that matter.
However I am saving close to $50.00 per month by going from Bell Sympatico to Teksavvy the family owned ISP in Chatahm Ontario and if I have a tech problem, I talk to someone in Chatham not India,Phillipines or Costa Rica and in understandable Canadian english to boot, 24/7.
Robust is good.
And i thought it only applied to CAGW stats
As I always SCREAM into the phone when I am put on hold and the say “thanks for your patience” how do you know I am patient.LOL
That’s awesome, wondered why a couple of my messages were bounced and never made your blog!
Thought it was something I had for breakfast or something.

I’ve often wondered how a site that appears to be generating static html in more-or-less real time manages to keep up with the load. Kate, have you ever considered upgunning to a real dynamic blog/CMS of some kind?
I get panic attacks even thinking about a platform change-over on this monster.
IPCC/UN Choo-Choo has a “robust” server. For sale, Cheap. Peer reviewed. See AlGW for detales.
It was a dark and stormy night, and Choo-Choo’s MannJones “neutral” server was robusting the air conditioner, when Suzy busted open with …… sorry….. “don’t trust me” …..

“UN climate change chief Rajendra Pachauri says sorry — and switches to neutral
The outspoken chairman of the UN’s climate change body is to adopt a neutral advisory role and has agreed to stop making statements demanding new taxes and other radical policies on cutting emissions.
In an interview with The Times, Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, apologised for his organisation’s handling of complaints about errors in its report.
He also apologised for describing as “voodoo science” an Indian Government report which challenged the IPCC’s claims about the rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers.
But Dr Pachauri, 70, rejected calls for his resignation and insisted he would remain as chairman until after publication of the IPCC’s next report in 2014.
He claimed he had the support of all the world’s governments and denied that, by remaining in post, he was undermining the IPCC’s chances of regaining credibility with the public.
“It is not correct to say there are people who don’t trust me,” he said.
He admitted it had been a mistake to give the impression, in many interviews, that he was advocating specific actions to cut emissions. Last year, he called for higher taxes on aviation and motoring, said people should eat less meat, and proposed that hotel rooms should have electricity meters to charge people extra for using air conditioning.”
