Okay! Okay! I Get It! I Get It!

In order to get traffic you publish a ridiculous, inane commentary on a rumor.

Then you convince almost two thousand knuckleheads at Digg to digg your inane commentary on a rumor. Oy Vey…

The rumor? “A drunk employee kills all of the websites you care about”

“Someone came in sh**faced drunk, got angry, went berserk, and f***ed up a lot of stuff. There’s an outage on 40 or so racks at minimum.

Whoever it is, while we like how you roll in theory, in practice, we’d appreciate it if you laid off the servers running websites we actually use.

We’re sure 365 Main will deny that such a thing could ever happen. And, conveniently, the neighborhood is having power troubles, too. But here’s a question: When you have several levels of redundant power, what could bring your customers’ servers down other than something like an employee physically ripping the plugs out of the wall? Or, with less effort, hitting the emergency-power-off switch that San Francisco’s building codes require 365 Main install?”

There’s been a major power outage in San Francisco. Not all that uncomplicated.
