We actually had a transformer pop outside our building when a rather nasty storm blew in.

There hasnt been enough complaining and venting on the board today so Skuzzy ran out of "steam". ofcourse the steam generator didnt get enough and everything went dead.

I just figured several of the squeaky-voiced diaper jocks talked simultaneously on vox and crashed the server.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Power Outage
« Reply #13 on: May 24, 2007, 07:01:33 PM »
HTC,

Was wondering if you have your servers mirrored as backup to another location in case of windstorm or fire or whatever.

I guess you don't have generator backup.

Our public library is a member of 50 other libraries all linked to a central server system as to a central hub combined library catalog.  Because of the power outages, they had to get setup with a pretty good size natural gas generator as backup.

I knew a supervisor to our local ma bell and I got a tour of our phone company downtown.  I realized a long time ago that when our power was out, we still had our phone service.  My buddy took me to their basement where stood two, big, Allison airplane engines to run the generator backup system.  

I noticed your various servers were coming backup one by one.  

Yeah, I'm addicted to AHII.

I have a web page to a guy, now in PA.  When he transitioned from Texas and the unexpected time it took for him to move his servers and get setup again, he had a lot of customers a wee bit peeved and us PC addicts did not know what to do with ourselves during the interim.  (run-on sentence)

Skuzzy connected his 200-ton press to the office power supply.

Testing the new persona-non-grata process, so I'm told.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
