Hi everyone -

Many of you might've noticed the ActiveRain outage tonight (Nov. 12th). We fervently called everyone to get our systems in check only to find out the entire data center, where our servers are located, blew a transformer and suffered a complete outage. Apparently there was an accident outside of the datacenter killing the power and cooling systems for the data center...

We want to apologize for this and want to let the community know that we did our best even with hands tied. That said, we will be following up with our data center folks in a "post-mortem" session and will have say in how to come back quicker, if not go down at all, in this type of scenario in the future. The blown transformer and coolant systems threw the fall-backs in for a loop...

Thanks folks -

Jerry

You may want to consider a system migration from Hamsters to Squirrels...  They are more robust, similar wage requirements, plus they are categorized as a local hire...  Not to mention the ease of integration, since we are all a little squirrelly...

Did you like the picture of you at the bar that I put up in my post?

You are a wild one!

 Time for a new host location - they should have 100% redundant power, etc. on-site.

I had thought the problem was with my own computer or with my internet connection.  Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

I thought my computer was broken or that is was my Internet connection. I know that was a headache, and I hope you got things straightened out.

There was a system outage last night - at least for me - and I'm wondering what caused that and if it has been rectified (well clearly we are back on line, but I mean the underlying problem).
