TL;DR; A developer faces a CodePlex TFS server outage while releasing TFS Sticky Buddy v2.0, highlighting the impact of downtime on software deployment and version control.

Here I am slogging my guts out, trying to get TFS Sticky Buddy v2.0 out the door and bang goes the TFS server :(
This is tfs05 on the Codeplex environment. All the others seem to be running OK, but juts my luck the one I am using is the one that is affected, and nothing on the Outage page ! its been 3 hours and nothing. I have emailed them and reported it on the Discussions page.
Now, although I am, I am not really complaining as they have provided a fantastic service over the last, what… two years!
Hats off to the CodePlex team, but get the bloody server fixed so I can check in my code!
