Rackspace had a big power outtage today which knocked us offline today for 2 hours. Looks like they were effected by the same problem.

 In a completely unrelated incident to this weekend's power problems in DFW, a traffic accident caused damage to a power transformer which provides utility power to our DFW data center. Here is the current sequence of events:

    * At approximately 6:00 p.m. CST utility power was lost to the DFW data center
    * Power automatically switched over to backup generators without disrupting service for any customers
    * When generator power was established two chillers within the data center failed to start back up
    * Utility power was re-established through a secondary utility source
    * As a result of temporary data center temperature increases, we proactively shutdown a number of customer servers to protect them from overheating

Congratulations, you're riding the rails!

seem to be.
