Very pleased with LJ tonight. Maintenance had a post about what was going to be done (which I actually saw before the maintenance found its way into the proverbial handbasket). http://status.livejournal.org/ had a blurb that this would be happening, might cause some minor issues, but shouldn't cause outages.
Sure, I found the latter during an outage (which turned out to continue for a while; I seem to be able to access the site now but my client still times out 100% even though everything else is reliable 100%), but so what? My complaint was not warning us of the things they expected not to cause problems. They warned us, so I had a decent idea of what was going on, and that was rather nice. (And they did update it to show that there was an outage, midway through, presumably when someone with the authority to do so also had a minute or two free from trying to make the outage go away.)
And I have my LJ back now. (Mostly, anyway.) This is good. Although ironic, as I go to bed now. :)
