I just read on Blacknight’s status blog, that there will be scheduled downtime Friday night, starting around 10pm. So expect me to be down for a couple of hours. That means don’t go @replying me or DM’ing me on Twitter asking WTF is up!

That’s really all I have to say. If you’re on Blacknight’s new shared hosting platform (i.e. the Minimus, Medius or Maximus packages), you will be affected as well. I don’t mind downtime in this way. It’s scheduled, it’s mentioned several days in advance, it’s spread around quite a bit (e.g. here), and it won’t last for too long. Unlike GoDaddy who sometimes went down for about 6 hours at a time without any mention whatsoever…
