唉，不好意思，偶太邪恶鸟！

PBase is temporarily unavailable

28-Sep-2009 1:01 UTC / 27-Sep-2009 21:01 EST

We have been working nonstop to continue importing the data into the new database, and we are making good progress. While we wait for the data to import, we are going through PBase pages and making sure everything will be ready to go online when the data importing is complete. When PBase comes back online, some of you may find that some of your images do not display. This is simply because the data for those images will still be copying over to the new database. As the rest of the data comes in, those images will be fixed. We will let you know as soon as we have more news.

The database recovery is still progressing nicely. While we are working through the data recovery as quickly as we can, preserving data integrity is of utmost importance. Because of this, we are copying all of the data over to a new database machine, which should improve database performance compared to the previous server. Copying such large amounts of data around takes a very long time, but we already have much of the data up and running on the new machine. As we continue to import more and more of the data into the new database, we are checking data integrity and preparing for PBase to come back online. We will keep you posted as we know more.

PBase is temporarily unavailable. There was a power failure at our datacenter on the morning of 24-Sep-2009. When power came back, the main database server did not come back online properly. We have been working with Oracle support to get things back up and running as quickly as possible. The steps we have been taking with Oracle’s support technicians are progressing nicely. It takes a lot of time because we have to preserve data integrity by running new backups and copying them to another server before taking some of the recovery steps. The last big step we took did not work as well as we had hoped, but parts of the database are now functioning. The Oracle guys are working with us to get the rest of it working again. We will keep you posted as we know more.

We know this is an inconvenience. It is excruciating for us that the site has been down at all, especially for so long. Please know that we are doing everything we can to get things worked out in a timely fashion. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
Slug and The PBase Team

这个梦的寓意是：

1. 蛋卷真好吃

2. 5D Mark II是个好同志

3. Exchange Server就是烂。要不是它设计太弱智，我至于和它天天死磕导致睡眠不足么。别说Google Apps了，就是Zimbra都比它强。风，大风！

和谐社会，人人单反，跟改革开放初期提着收录机逛商场一样，很黄很暴力，但是我马上就把它收藏了。

用17-40/4L和85/1.8拍了半年开始审美疲劳，加上急需补足焦段，忍不住又入了小痰盂50/1.8。佳能擅长用烂塑料把几片破玻璃夹起来冒充镜头卖，当然考虑到50/1.4的性价比还有极度易坏的USM，只能安慰自己小痰盂至少是白菜价。这样算上近期购入的580EX II、Velbon Neo Carmagne 530A、Giotto’s MH1201-652，好吧，终于烧起来了。

被国家地理惨拒无数次，仍然乐此不疲，这是什么精神？

终于在一首老歌里找到了答案。那首老歌是这么唱的（节选）：

这就是贱说也说不清楚
这就是贱糊里又糊涂
这就是贱它忘记了人间的烦恼
这就是贱能保持着糊涂的温度

1993年就预言了10多年后的单反和谐暴力黄社会，所以我瞬间就把CCTV收藏了。
