Unplanned Outage

[kato13]

Router power supply was acting up we were down for about 25 min.

May be another planned 2-4 hour outage in the next few days if I rewire and run some physical server maintenance (cleaning fans etc).

edit checked the logs it was 25 min not 15

One hell of an admin we have here folks. Most definitely...

I take it one just happened from 4pm to 6pm Mountain time?

Or is it bad coffee shop wifi?

This one was planned. I put up an announcement I think at 9am CDT today.

I wanted to simplify my network and KVM (keyboard/video/monitor) wiring, add a couple of new external drives, and test all of the router power supplies I have. We currently have one OEM backup to the current generic one.

Generic router power supplies go bad about once every 18-24 months so I wanted to make sure we have a new one waiting to go.

And thanks a bunch!

Nice!

I get a little paranoid when my favorite game websites go down unannounced...... So many have gone offline taking pages of really good material down the rabbit hole.
