Smartpunters.com Recent Outage - 10:06 PM, October 6, 2006 |
Due to a power outage in the area of our northern server several of our users in certain parts of the country may have been unable to reach Smartpunters.com for up to 6 hours.
At approx. 4PM today power went out and the the backup UPS systems kicked in. Meanwhile, service crews worked madly to get the power restored but were unable to do so before the UPS systems failed after putting up a valiant fight. At approx. 7PM they gave up the ghost and the server passed out.
Workers stayed the course and toiled well into the evening. As many of you can attest there's no machine that can outlast a human being when the chips are down, UPS or not. Shortly after 10PM CST the power was restored and I thanked the workers, ordered our gopher to fetch them a case, and sat down to write this bulletin.
All seems well now and we hope not to have any related trouble in the future.
Particularly as our workers are all tying one on to celebrate and their talents may be a bit less than sharp thanks to the finest mix of Rocky Mountain springwater and high country barley our gopher could find.
