After putting off the Intellichat migration last week due to issues with the load balancer (we had to order up a new more powerful one), we are finally in the last stages of testing.  I had a little chat with Dan Ushman at Singlehop today and asked him to pop over to the data center to get some pics of all our servers.  Singlehop used to have a great photographer, but he has moved over to London now, so I appologise for Dan’s photography skills but its pretty cool to see the servers for the first time.

We are set to go live within the next 14 hours, so testing is coming to an end and we will be up early in the morning to migrate everything over.  With any luck we are planning for 0% downtime, apart from the 15 minute drop in chats.

I hope you enjoy the pics :)





After adding the status.justuptime.com feature last week, we in the JDI office have taken full advantage of the system and have it on our main development screen and I even have it on my docked iPhone (sorta like a third screen :) ).

Everyone in the office is able to keep an eye on all of our servers and someone can quickly jump onto fix any problems that come up.  One of our servers was seen to be down earlier so I took a photo, the server was back up and running within 2 minutes of going down thanks to the quick response system we have setup at Just Host so all is good :) .

Why not get your website or servers into JustUptime.com and make life easy for yourself.  Automate the way you monitor your uptime and get the reports you need to keep your eye on the ball.

Being the first friday in the month, I thought I should introduct a new item to the development room.  We now have the ‘Friday Feature’ where we work on a ‘nice to have’ feature for one of our products.  These features will generally be quick bits which add some ‘cool’ to our products.

Just Uptime was the first product to have the JDIFF, and I thought an iPhone site to check the status of all your checks within the system would be pretty cool.  Any Just Uptime user is able to login to the new service which can be found at http://status.justuptime.com, this page can be viewed from any mobile device as well as your web browser, however, it was designed for the iPhone.

The service puts all checks found to be down at the top of the list making it easier for you to spot any problems as and when they come up and the page auto refreshes every 60 seconds.

I took some screenshots of the system so you can see it in action just below.
