The last couple of wednesday evenings (GMT) we've had server trouble. Are we likely to see it again tonight?

We have a weekly race starting at 6pm. We don't really believe in postponements, but if server restarts happen quick enough it's okay to carry on the race.

Any thoughts on likely load this evening?

We made a few changes to the server on Tuesday which seem to have improved things. We can't know for sure if that was the only reason it ran fine yesterday. But if we still haven't experienced the issues in a weeks time, that would be cause for optimism. it's a bit of a game of cat and mouse in the meantime.

Myself and the server management team are making a point of being here every night when the situation is likely to get critical. Last time the simulator did crash I caught it and restored service within a couple of minutes, and no races needed to be rescheduled. It won't necessarily always be so rapid, as I can't literally fixate on the screen for hours on end waiting for it. But hopefully the changes we've applied mean it won't be crashing in the first place.

This is only a short-term approach until we can get a more permanent solution when Andrew is back.
