Down here in Auckland, New Zealand we've copped alot of flak for a city-wide power outage that lasted a 4+ hours. Talk of third world country etc. I comforted myself with the memory of New York outage caused by a nuclear generator going down and affected 5 others (even if it was 8 years ago). Now I find that LA has had an outage and webhosting companies weren't ready. Down here the small server companies went down but some had backup generators. I'm really surprised that MySpace is hosted by less than robust hosting company...
In New York 25000 ppl lost power for 6 day already...can't believe it is happening.... I suffered the New York outage three years ago..i walk 8 hour to get home
Holy moly, this is the first time that I see that MySpace is down... I heard that cali got 110 F, that is 46 Celcious. Cali had power outages and it prolly died because of that...
Yes, I get hosting for one of my websites through StartLogic, somewhere near LA I think, and they have been down for 2 days now... Sucks!!
Myspace was down for a while last night (saturday) because of a power outage in the L.A. area. Tonight there are more power failures and Myspace is down again. I'm not sure where the little Myspace server is located, but i'm sure it's the same thing.. In the Los Angeles area where i *think* the Myspace datacenter is, it only got up to about 101F or so.. where I live, it was a good 112 PLUS awful humidity.. today it barely broke 106.. and now, at just before 11pm, it's a 'cool' 80F, with enough humidity to make the sweat drip off your balzz almost instantly..
You would think being the #1 visited site in America they would have redundent servers around the country. Sheesh. What moron is in charge of IT there? Shocking!
One whose headquarters is also located in california :-P Yes it's been insanely hot this week...I'm suprised all of the power grids are holding up. Myspace definatly needs some more co-location servers however .
