Server Downtime - November 17th, 2010 - Power Failure

Hi everyone!

Unfortunately, we experienced some downtime again due to me working on my basement. Preparing for some track lighting and rewiring the doorbell, I had to cut power to the line that my server is on (again). I cut it around 3:20PM (EST), and the UPS initiated shutdown of the server around 3:35PM. I restored power around 3:50PM, and the server automatically started. However, due to filesystem checks (forced after every 30 days or so), it wasn't until around 4:15 that the server was actually back online.

So, long story short, we had about an hour of downtime thanks to my basement again. I thought I would've finished before the power cut off, but again I was wrong :-/

Sorry, guys (and gals)!

95% of teens would cry if the Jonas brothers were about to jump off of a 10 story building. I'm one of the 5% who would bring popcorn and invite friends.

Har, har. Actually, there was a very brief outage today too that lasted only about 2-3 seconds when I was testing all of the circuits. I doubt anyone noticed, as the server and my router were unaffected, and only the ONT (optical network terminal) from my ISP was tripped for a few seconds. Since the ONT doesn't serve out the Internet when it's on backup battery, the connection kicked off very briefly.

At least you can be consoled that I'm installing an extremely nice track-lighting system downstairs for all this trouble. :-)
