LiveJournal Servers Go Down

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the only-mostly-dead dept.

Wind writes "According to any journal hosted off of LiveJournal.com, the LiveJournal data center Internap has suffered a critical power failure, leaving all of LiveJournal and its content temporarily offline and requiring the revival of 100+ servers. Perhaps Six Apart wasn't quite prepared for the responsibilities of a website of this size? Updated information is posted here."

    Somebody mod the parent up, please.

    Congrats to LiveJournal for assembly a coal generator in a record time.

    "And yes, before anyone feels intelligent enough to post it:

    -assembly
    +assemble"

    "Shit, did I just post that?

    -assemble
    +the assembly"

    So what you've got now is "Congrats to LiveJournal for the assembly a coal generator in a record time."

    Still doesn't look quite right... how about
    +of

    so we have "Congrats to LiveJournal for the assembly of a coal generator in a record time." ;) /shigelojoe, shameless provider of unrequested and pedantic grammatical advice since 1984!
