Account Still Being Transferred!

Eeek! Just got off the phone with the hosting techs, they said the account is STILL being transferred. Now I really don't see what should be taking so long to transfer the account, especially since I explained our situation previously and they agreed that they will try to do it as fast as possible.

In any case, the tech said that they were currently still working on moving the data over and promised that the account will definitely be transfered at most in the next 12 hours (which is really kind of a lot I think!). Well I am hoping their message about the transfer will come earlier than that. Guess it's a good thing I didn't stay up to wait for it to be transfered :)

i work for a hosting company...

Huh, maybe we should have used your hosting, anonymous! At least then we would have someone to personally take care of our server :)

Melisa said...

Well, the loyal Overstream users will remain.. you can be sure of that... let's hope that those who sub our favorite dramas will remain loyal too and not be discouraged by the technical glitches. Thanks again for keeping us up to date, it's important for us, end users, to know that there's a real person behind this trying to fix the problems. Cheers!

How long will it take YOU to verify whether things are working or not??

btw thanks for the blog !!

Overstream said...

Well I can't really know, can I? Maybe things will just work right away (1hr), or maybe there will be some new problems that I will have to fix ASAP to get things to work. I am hoping for the best, of course, but I have to allow for the unknown here, so I don't want to promise you guys that it will just work (even though normally it should!).

Overstream said...

Just so there is no misunderstanding - the hosting still hasn't finished transferring the account, so I haven't started to look over it. I am standing by though, as ready as ever! ;)

You guys (and girls!) should be proud too - your enthusiasm was enough to crash a server :)

If you have any sadistic bone in you, now's your change to enjoy since we are pretty much crawling on floor in pain. XD


P.S. greetings to Japan. :3 How's the weather? *coming there to study in 3 months*

Overstream said...

I think my body is made exclusively of empathic bones, so I can really feel your pain :(

Weather: it's the middle of winter now - in Tokyo at least the winter goes basically from January->March. It's just maybe starting to get a little bit warmer... sometimes ;) Should be beautiful in 3 months, not hot yet.

Is there anyway to transfer data to s3.amazon?

VodPod is somehow storing their data on Amazon Web Service - I don't even have any idea how it works. It doesn't depend on their hosting.

Wish they had a cache of the videos they collected...

Is there any way to retrieve the .srt files, so I could get them up on Google video?

Overstream said...

anonymous: salut et merci tres bien pour les mots gentils! je trouve ca super, que tu trouve overstream bien util :)

Damn, no word from the hosting yet! I am assuming that again they don't really do this account transfering work at night) and it shall be done by their morning crew which should be arriving in about 2 hours. At which point I will call the again to make sure...

Overstream said...

Is there any way to retrieve the .srt files, so I could get them up on Google video?

Unfortunately, no. The data is not stored as .srt, and the converter is currently only built into the Overstream Editor itself.

I understand you are being anxious, but at this point I really do fully expect the site to be back up within 6-8 hours. Barring any unexpected incidents of course.

VickyK. said...

thanks alot!! been waiting to see the subbing for TKA!!! thanks for your hard work!! ^^

it's cool how u know french Max. :P
gave up on french in grade 9 ... not bother to take french after grade 9 ... xD

Overstream said...

I just can't get through to the hosting, been on hold for about an hour. I guess mornings are very busy for them... Makes me wonder if I picked the right hosting - I assumed that if I get the dedicated server at the same hosting as the shared server was on, the transfer would go faster. But this is taking a looong time, damn it!

snowee: yeah, i lived in france for bit, but forgot a lot of it already :)

Unknown said...

It's stupendous to hear so many people thate care about overstream.
Me and my pupils are also anxious to see overstream working again. And probably with a better service.
Thanks...
