Beta going down for memory upgrade
Beta was provisioned with four gigs of memory, which is not enough. We’re having the box fixed up and moved to eight gigs but that means they will be powering off the box in a moment. We’re sorry, but we have to get the memory in there. EDIT: Maintenance Completed! Share on Facebook
