Re: [LAD] this past weekend's linuxaudio.org downtime

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] :-)
