It’s Alive! (Thank you, John Rob)

The lights are on!
Thank you, John Rob. Much appreciated.
So – $352,000 + / year and you geniusesstillcan’t keep the lights on?
To: WindflierI’m a Unix admin. What happened? Long outage. Root cause?
.
To: WindflierYou’d think for $88K/Qtr this wouldn’t be a problem.
.
To: DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannisWoohoo! FR is back! It was hard going a whole five hours with no FR.I get pretty off-kilter when FR is down. It feels like being cut off from the world.
To: WindflierOK, better now. I can slow down my breathing and remove the paper bag from my mouth. . . .
To:TexasRepublicIt was a boring lunchtime today.Half my coffee time was spoiled when FR suddenly went off the air. I really hate relying on Drudge and reading the comments sections of the articles he links to.
What he means is: “I hate that Drudge sometimes links to actual news sites, where the commenters don’t adhere to my twisted word-view.”
Still, this wasn’t a bad one, as far as FR outages go.
.
To: WindflierI work in a supposedly high availability environment where outages are supposed to be impossible yet they happen nonetheless. Our client pays through the nose.
Ya can’t have a 100% availability in an environment that continuously changes.
FR is generally available. I don’t know if they engineer for it I’m just curious.
.
To: WindflierIt was more painful than enduring 100 degree weather ..I hear you.There have been times I tried to get on and nothing. That is hard to deal with for hours on end.

Hey! I’m stuck with fulsome praisin’ and time keeps rollin’ on…
Ooooo! Yer ina heap’o’trouble now, giving that freeper bad advice:
“No, no, no! It’s a plastic bag, not a paper one. And it goes over the head, not the mouth.
And don’t forget the rubber bands.”
Rubber bands are RIGHT OUT!
CABLE TIES, that’s the ticket.
I harbor a little more pity for Freepers after today’s installment. I can’t help but think how deperate and pathetic one must be to completely put your identity and self-esteem into a two bit website. It goes down for 5 hours and they are having panic attacks?
Thanks, Tommy. You made me feel sorry for a Freeper. Thanks a lot.
Though on second thought, given their proclivities, I am surprised they don’t have some sort of Freeper Emergency Response Network that springs into action when this happens. You know, some sort of combination of carrier pigeon, ham radio, wind talkers, and psychic connection networks.
Apologies to ham operators out there – it just kind of fits (73, KD8GEG).

HEY! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF FIRST DRAFT WENT DOWN FOR FIVE HOURS? You mean you wouldn’t be holding candlelight vigils and performing ritual sacrifices? What the fuck do I have minions for anyway?
A.
A.- For that to happen you would have to totally sell out on ferret clothes and hats (especially the hats) and start recruiting daily cat bloggers. Then you stand a chance with the vigil…
Johnny gets the groaner award.
Snarki gets the helpful suggestion award.
MarcD gets the empathy award.
Ms. A gets the marginal minions award.

Chris Christie refused to run. Whoops.
Also, how does fighting in a Muslim country (with NATO) promote Islam? Since the Freepers have a better grip on Islam than I do, apparently, can they tell me if Obama is Sunni, Shi’ite, or Sufi? I mean, they must know, right?
No soup for Christie!!!
