Power outages at the Murkworks

[annathepiper]

We've just had a few power hits here at the Murkworks, folks. Two really brief ones and then one that had us out for about five-ten minutes. If murkworks.net drops off the face of the Net again today and we're out for no apparent reason, that'll be why.

It's really windy here right now, and we're getting reports over the radio that the 520 floating bridge has been shut down due to high winds. The Seattle Times says that 100,000 homes and businesses have lost power due to the winds as well. Things are comparatively calm here on our little hill, but we've already seen that our power promises to be less than stable. Fingers crossed that we don't go down again!

We've lost the monitor switch for the monitor we use for our three servers, too. Foo. And right now, although solarbird has brought door back up, newmoon seems to be not quite as happy. So any mail getting routed through us may be somewhat erratic today.

stickmaker, rosepurr, starsongsky, gazerwolf, this means that the LexFA list may be chancy today. Spread the word to folks as you can!

It's been flickering here, too.... but not going down all the way yet *crosses fingers*

Batten down the hatches...

We've been pretty stable for the last hour or so, so hopefully we'll hold out till this blows over! Still looking pretty breezy here in Kenmore, though.

If you go out tomorrow, feel free to give me a ring, if I'm up, you can watch the game down here! Soula and Ray are coming over already. And there's a good chance we're on very disparate power systems. :-)

Cool, we'll keep that in mind. So far since this morning's brief outage we've managed to stay up, and Dara thinks the worst of it may be over for us... but we'll see what happens. :) Thanks!
