Here's a story that may give you all a good chuckle:
Last weekend Robin Gareus, our LAO guru has contacted me inquiring why there
was a ~1hr linuxaudio.org server downtime that took place that Sat. morning.
Luckily we now have an UPS that gives us almost 2 hours of offline power.
Hence, the server went through this unscathed. Yet, the network
infrastructure was also down so even though the server remained up, there
was no way of reaching it.
So, I went investigating what happened, and this is the reply I got from our
on-campus support:
Squirrel fried in transformer. Campus and part of downtown was out of power
on Saturday morning before the game. [this was a football game we had in
town that day with 10K+ visitors]

Hmm, a classic case where debugging solved the problem.

technically, you should add a phrase like "some animals were harmed
during the creation of this website" to the lao imprint. might cause a
public relations backlash, but then again, bad press is good press.

My bad, I enabled the "fry-squirrel" option in postfix's main.cf...
My deepest apologies to the families that wanted to watch the football
game.
