Multiple Sites Down In SF Power Outage

Posted by kdawson on from the or-was-it-a-drunk dept.

corewtfux writes with word of a major outage apparently centered on 365 Main, a datacenter on the edge of San Francisco's Financial District. Valleywag initially claimed that a drunken person had gotten in and damaged 40 racks, but an update from Technorati's Dave Sifry says the problem is a widespread power outage. Sites affected include Technorati, Netflix (these display nice "We're Dead" pages), Typepad, LiveJournal, Sun.com, and Craigslist (these just time out).

    since they're down, try http://allurstuff.com/. it's pretty much the same idea (free web-based classified ads), but all ajax-ish and you can search using google maps. (to know if it's worth driving all the way across town for that new bean bag chair ;)

    yeah, pimping my own warez, i know...but you gotta start somewhere, right?

    That is god-damned fscking funny.

    My lame stab at extending rope-skip singsong (apologies to Tackhead):

    Lizzie Borden did teh h4x,
    Got drunk and unplugged 40 racks.
    When she saw what she had done,
    She unplugged number 41. Get Axe ... Break In .... *Ques*tion Mark ... *Pro*fit!
