Planned Outage
No BlueNC for you on Sunday from 3am until 6am:
We were just informed one hour ago from our building management that an emergency maintenance window is scheduled for this
Saturday morning, February 24th, at 1AM PST. UPDATE! The building has just changed the window to be 23 hours later.. it is now scheduled for Sunday morning, February 25th, at 12:01AM PST. This maintenance window involves taking our entire building’s power offline for approximately 3 hours. The word from the building:It was discovered by ABM Engineering during the power monitoring equipment installation, that a Phase C Conductor Cable on UPS #4 has been compromised to the point that immediate action to repair it is necessary or a ground fault will occur to the building systems.
Since only one of our three data centers is losing power, not all servers will be shut down. Unfortunately, our core routers and our upstream providers are in that data center, so there will be no network to any servers during the window. Gaah.

Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.
Planned Outrage
The first time I saw the title - I could have sworn it said, 'Planned Outrage'.
And my initial thought was, 'Good. We need some planned outrage. The Rethugs are so good at their phony outrage we should have some, too.'
I think we should instigate some real outrage.
Now where's my tinfoil?
Me, too
Even after I knew what it was, I thought Lance was outraged about it! We all know I need the tinfoil . . . I think someone stole it.
“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.” So enjoy the drama.
