META: 503 Service Unavailable

For all you computer-savvy folks out there, I just got the following response as I tried to refresh the page several times a few minutes ago.  What does this mean?  Did it happen because Brian was in the process of posting new front page content?  Or is it something with my computer?  Or is it some kind of statement with respect to my mental capacity having been overloaded this Tuesday afternoon?

 

Error 503 Service Unavailable

I'm no expert, but that could be due to one of many things.  Were you able to load other websites while this was happening (was it only mgoblog doing this?) 

I haven't encountered any problems recently with mgoblog.

Don't worry, you'll upgrade soon. A law firm can't really risk using software (XP) that is no longer patched against security threats and whatnot.

Also, it's pretty sad that people freaking out about uniformz tanks the site.

It's amazing how fast the cost of 20 or so new computers adds up compared to the zero added value addition of those computers for lawyers. Unless you're running ANSUS, Auto Cad, or something that uses similair computing power you don't really need anything above Windows 98.

Ahhh, but therein lies the problem - I'm an in-house lawyer (I work for a big corporation).  And legal departments of corporations are pure cost centers, meaning we are not considered revenue generators, meaning they do not want to spend money on us, meaning we have to us sh-tty computing systems and sh-tty pens.  No Pilot ergonomic pens for us!

I usually see this when the site is overloaded with traffic, usually due to a commitment.

 

So, to see that Derrick Green has not committed is very disappointing.

The server couldn't handle traffic for whatever reason, so you can't make it to the site. It's the hosting company, not Brian or your computer.

It happens to me every now

It happens to me every now and then, and usually when it happens I cannot access the site for a good hour or so.  I had assumed there was some kind of maintenance being done on the site, or that there was a very brief, acute landslide of hits to the site for no particular reason (although I know that warning is a different one so it seems unlikely).

It Makes Sense Now...

So many people were getting the 503 error that I managed to get the 504 error a little while ago, which is "Gateway Timeout". All it means that I was apparently late to the party of hits (or other items) slowing down the server and the proxy was saying, "No more, no more...". That being said, sometimes I will get the 503 error when significant front page content is loading as well - I reloaded and Brian's take on the uniforms was suddenly there.

I got that too and upon visiting the site, saw an RR *and* a Uniformz thread, either of which on their own always means lots of rabble rabble and thus more traffic than usual.  But both at the same time I'm guessing was more than the site could handle.
