Q: What do you get when you cross a Faulty UPS, 12 Production Instances, and a Metro wide power outage?

A: 8 recoveries and counting...

A power grid at the mercy of Windoz!

You had better get used to candles and performing those recoveries Jeff. :D

All i can say is best of luck...

And don't forget to do the rituals after you get it done.


Raise ur hands in the air and looking at the ceiling shout "Yesssss! I'm INVINCIBLE"

:D that does get the attention ;)

3 cheers for ISO who cut northern new england off from the grid on time. I've been in their control room and i know those guys watch the grid 24x7x365 and some girl-ie pages too ;)

Now I get it:
The map of New England (top left image at http://www.iso-ne.com/ )shows only 1/2 of CT - the northern half

Yeah, what a drag. All the Boxter S showrooms were closed for a day.

(Boxster is a type of Porsche for all those who don't circulate in the upper echelons of car ownership/yuppiedom)

Fortunately though, many households in the area were able to hook up their Chevy Suburban's as impromptu generators, so their sophisticated lifestyles were not interrupted.

Ah, the blushing bride. I wonder what the tattoo says?

I bet she was just visiting from Joisey, anyway.

One can only begin to imagine the nurturing mother she will be by age 19.
