The Colony is very slow at the moment because the Let’s Encrypt servers, which we use to ensure that your connection with us is secure, are having service disruptions. Apologies for this, will keep you posted via our Twitter feed if the Colony become unavailable again.

Many apologies

Our server was offline for 3.5 hours just now, the data center in which it’s hosted had a power outage, even tho’ UPS power and two standby generators were apparently available. Not their finest hour.

Many apologies for the unscheduled downtime earlier today of about 2 hours. The server is now online again.

I'm SO sorry, everyone! This morning's global Web outage was my fault! A very nice man from Microsoft just phoned me to say my computer has broken the internet. He's working on it right now. What great customer care!

This Sunday’s Pop-Ups starts later for North American Litopians because of daylight savings... The chat room opens at 12:45pm Eastern, 9:45am Pacific

Been going crazy these past 2 days trying to find cause of crashing on computer used to stream live shows, worried Pop-Ups might crash out last night. Turns out it was an update put out by Microsoft themselves. Linux never looked better!

Something rather exciting is coming soon...

AgentPete · Mar 11, 2021

Colony software update happening in a few mins.

Software updates happening in a few minutes...

AgentPete · Jan 20, 2021

Moods are back

AgentPete · Jan 14, 2021

I know it seems as if we’ve been doing a lot of upgrades recently (we have) but there will be one more today, again with some possible downtime. If the Colony is inaccessible for more than a few mins, check our Twitter feed for updates.

AgentPete · Jan 13, 2021

The Litopia server has had some outages over the past hour while we upgraded it. If anything, it should be somewhat faster for you now.

AgentPete · Jan 4, 2021

Software upgrade happening this pm, hopefully little impact but if the site ever does go down, simply follow out tweets for info.

Season's Greetings to all at Litopia. x

I’m thinking more and more that this Saturday's Huddle is shaping up to be a riot…

AgentPete · Dec 15, 2020

Huh, I seem to have gone into involuntary end-of-year hibernation mode! However, I will re-emerge from my stasis for this Saturday’s Huddle, never fear...

AgentPete · Oct 14, 2020

Another software upgrade happening soon...

AgentPete · Oct 5, 2020

Litopia's software has just been upgraded. You may need to perform a hard refresh of your browser to ensure you're seeing the upgraded site, not a locally-cached copy of the old one. Performing a hard refresh is very simple – instructions for most browsers here.

AgentPete · Oct 2, 2020

About to start a major software update here in the Colony. If all goes well, you shouldn’t notice any interruption. But if not… well, follow our status on Twitter if you suddenly find the Colony is down!

AgentPete · Sep 30, 2020

Several exciting updates coming to the Colony in the next few days. Just to warn you… hopefully there will be no down-time, but ya never know!

AgentPete · Sep 28, 2020

Producing another live show in a few mins, if any Litopians want to pop over

AgentPete · Aug 12, 2020

Temperature is 40C (104F) at my desk now. I’ve printed a manuscript out, am retiring to the (cooler) bedroom to read it.

AgentPete · Jul 15, 2020

Priority Pop-Up Submissions are open again.

AgentPete · Jul 1, 2020

Currently working flat-out on the external Litopia site, pls bear with me if I’m not as available as I’d wish for a day or so...

AgentPete · Jun 27, 2020

Our server went down this morning for about 30 mins, for reasons as yet unknown. If you ever find that Litopia is unavailable, it’s a good idea to check our Twitter feed, that’s where I’ll keep folk updated.
