For us as well. It was so nice to have things work one day and the next and the next, although I guess they wouldn't have worked today.

Favorite firefighting moment was when wdc lost half the fiber in ~ 2014, and we had to move all of our traffic out, so that there was capacity. Our guy asked why we had to move? and your guy said something like 'Because if you guys move, we only need one customer to move.' :D

Yeah the move from FreeBSD to Linux wouldn't have been fun for you guys either. And yeah, the WDC POPs were some of the most overbuilt from a bandwidth perspective and that was almost entirely because of you guys. Pretty sure there's a Cisco sales rep enjoying a nice holiday home in Connecticut as a result of the growth you guys did.

Dunno if I should realize who toast0 is, but what service were/are you running?

Probably WhatsApp, they moved from FreeBSD to Linux and were on SL before the Facebook acquisition.

I don't think you are expected to know who I am :) I omitted the service on purpose, but you my email is on my profile if you want to know.

Apparently it was enough information for dsmcr to properly id the service though; not enough for nixgeek though, I think.

I won't ask that directly. It just seemed like I was missing something that everyone else knew.

Don't worry about it. Not a problem at all. Happy to interact with people on the other side of the tickets ;)
