Power Outages Galore

A bizarre series of power outages. 1:30pm – Cascade campus looses all power. 1:50pm – transformer on the corner of our street explodes, taking power and hurting Michelle’s ears. 3:19pm – ID10T in the server room “tests” the UPS by shutting off the power, all 40+ servers go down. The message appears to be – stop working.

Well, I didn’t catch on until 7pm. But then Scott and I drove down to historic Aurora, OR to have a few pints with another BeerAdvocate Rich before he moves to Belgium next week. Conversation was mostly beer, and all enjoyable. He’s got a blog up as well, detailing the move.
