BibSonomy's Downtime - Update

Hi everybody,

we are still working to get BibSonomy up and running again.
We have experienced a long power blackout in the neighborhood yesterday and systems are only slowly coming back on - we're heavily working on that.
More updates as soon as the situation is resolved.

We'll be back!

Downtime today due to power failure

Dear BibSonomy users,

as you probably noticed, BibSonomy had unfortunately a downtime today (Monday, Oct. 25th 2010) around 11:00 - 12:00 o'clock. It was due to a power failure in the computing center of the University of Kassel, which also affected the network infrastructure. This means that the BibSonomy server itself was still running smoothly, but not a single request from outside could reach it.

Right now everything is up and running again, and the server is again reachable for the world - we apologize deeply for any unpleasant experience during this time of unconnectedness.

Best regards,
Dominik

Main Server Crashed

Today we had a crash of our main machine. It took us 1 hour to restart everything as it was late and no one was in the office. This was the reason BibSonomy was not available. Unfortunately this is the third time within 4 weeks that the machine crashed. We are now searching for the reason but currently we have no clue as we did not observe any special situation. It seem to be some strange hardware defect. Lets cross the finger that we can figure out the problem soon.

Search functionality is available again after some difficulties

During a server update on the afternoon of November 27th, 2007, we were confronted with a technical difficulty which affected temporarily the search feature of BibSonomy. The consequence was that it was not possible to search BibTex or Bookmark entries, because the search tables in the database were corrupted. We are sorry for this and apologize for any inconvenience this incident has caused.

In the meantime, we have located and eliminated the problem, and we are now happy to offer you the complete BibSonomy functionality which you are used to.

Best,
Dominik
