Power outages today in San Jose and Cupertino starting at 0100pm PDT I was back at work and didn't notice when it ended. "J.D. Falk" wrote:
I've seen a few messages forwarded from friends at various SF companies, especially South of Market, saying that PG&E has been calling them and asking that they reduce power utilization. Word is they're not capable of handling the current demand (it is the second day of what feels like a serious heat wave, with temperatures over 90 degrees all over the Bay Area), and power may be shut off on a rotating basis, a block or a few blocks at a time, if the load cannot be reduced. There're a lot of "big name" companies in that area, including Looksmart, Critical Path, Organic Online, Topica, and many, many more. Not sure how many of them have production servers in/near their offices, but it's not uncommon for startups (or recently-past-startup-phase companies) to stupidly have their production machines rely on being able to exchange data with their offices, so who knows what might happen. Mmm, fun! Any word on how San Jose is holding up? Got a lot of data- centers there.... -- J.D. Falk "Practice random funk and senseless disco moves." <jdfalk () cybernothing org> -- Koz
