@bigpresh: Correct, the bad disk was one problem, but we're also having issues with our routers, where the primary one decides to lock up, and the HA setup which should result in automatic failover to the backup isn't kicking in. We are trying a variety of kernel options and other tunings to try and figure out what is going on. We hope to have it fixed soon.

Brief Downtime This Afternoon
You may have noticed that some perl.org services (including www.perl.org) were unavailable for a short time this afternoon. For the past few days we've had issues in the middle of the night where one of our primary servers would grind to a halt. We believe we've isolated that to a bad disk, an...
Phillip: That's $12/user/year. It adds up quick when you're providing a free service with lots of users.

Want to filter our email?
Perl.org is looking for outside assistance to help remove spam from perl.org and/or cpan.org email. (i.e. we are interested in outsourcing our spam filtering.) Today, our filtering consists of SpamAssassin, qpsmtpd, blacklists (like IVM), and a ton of custom rules. But still spam gets through....
csjewell: Correct. On the same box.

Rainy Day Outage (Update Three)
Not a lot of new news. We got a new motherboard for the system, and have installed it.... but it's not working. Which leads us to believe that its actually the powersupply thats shot. We're on the hunt for a compatible powersupply locally, but its probably not worth pouring more money into thi...
Thanks Nips, I've updated the DNS so cpan.perl.org should redirect somewhere useful now.

Rainy Day Outage (Update One)
Ask and I have confirmed that we've had a hardware failure and are planning to go to the datacenter tomorrow night California time to attempt to repair it. We've been able to restore most services, but there are a few which were dependent on the failed machine. It'll be much easier for us to ge...
Ken: They're from sIFR (http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/sifr/) which we're using for some pretty fonts that we couldn't otherwise do in a cross-platform manner without using an image. We're looking into ways we can do that without the Flash.

A new look for perl.org
To match the massive advances in Perl over the last few years, www.perl.org has been brought into the modern era. www.perl.org has been completely redesigned, making it clearer and easier to use. All the content has been reviewed and brought up-to-date to provide links and other helpful resource...
dstar3k: try now. (also, who doesn't use white as a background color?)

Thanks Lee. I was looking for that, as I knew it existed, but 'scroll' doesn't show up in the CSS2 index. We've switched to that much superior solution (which also does work in IE)

Lee: We did that to always force a scrollbar on the right hand side (unless you have a really really really huge screen) to prevent jitter when switching from a page with a scrollbar to one without. Because the content is horizontally centered, if the width of the window changes by a scrollbar, the center point shifts half a scrollbar width.
