Good Day to Everyone and a big welcome home to all those getting back From Vegas.Looks and sounds like everyone had a great time. Well woke up to my one server being down a Colo. Might be time to look for a new place for that box since a small fire in the area left them with no power. I am sure they told me they had backup power when i set this up grrrrrr. Ahh well time to shop for cpanel or some variation and just use my own servers here at least I have backup power.Blahhh what a crappy way to start the week.

They may indeed have backup power - but if you get a fire in the switch gear (the power switch) you're pretty much screwed - wherever you are.

And hosting your own server's is NEVER worth the hassle in my humble opinion.

Well they aparently do have a generator but since they havent been testing it to make sure it works right it seems to be over heating. And by the sounds of things down town vancouver will maybe be with out power till tomorrow.

is an article regarding the issue.

BCHydro has a really cool map displaying outages. You can zoom in and see the areas affected -- most of downtown Vancouver it seems.
