So haven't seen anybody else mention it yet...Clearblue in SFO went off-net for 3ish hours today, again as the result of internal power issues as far as I can tell. Gennys didn't kick in. After gettin my stuff back up, went for a self-guided tour of the facility to find 3 guys gathered around one of their UPSes scratching their heads. I suspect something went *poof*. At least it was a Saturday...

Personally, I'm looking forward to renegotiating my contract later this year. :)

Sounds like XO in Fremont ... last weekend their one UPS had a leaking capacitor, took out both UPS systems, power was down for at least 1.5 hours. Was really nice to move out of Clear Blue in Santa Clara to arrive in Fremont and being told power was out. -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-865-0204 You can find my resume at: http://seven.Alameda.net/~ulf/resume.html

I gotta remember that one.

back when i was a contracter at GE R&D, once a new electrician came into our work area and told us that the lisp machines in our machine room were running on emergency power and he was going to fix it for us. we weren't quite quick enough to stop him from hitting the button labeled "emergency power off". in retrospect, it's funny, but at the time we were leaning towards killing him right then and there. cheers, richard -- Richard Welty rwelty@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Java, PHP, PostgreSQL, Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
