Apologies that email is backed up....I had a fumble finger event and managed to get a stray back tick into my dns authority file which apparently is enough to prevent me from being an authority for my own domain....dang....
So Vince found my error and it's now corrected.....so kudos to Vince and maybe I need to learn how to type someday.... ;) Oh yeah...the downtime was because a stray kitty decided it would be cool to jump/walk across the insulators in the UH power substation and I guess the tail created a circuit between two phases of the 208,000 volt feed for the substation. So if you were on campus and looking towards east west center...you may have seen a ball of fire shooting into the air. That may have either been the cat (kitty fritters) or the transformer blowing up. Either way, but all my battery packs went flat, even with extended run batteries....and the main pain in my backside is that I finally got the auto shutdown daemons for linux last week....dang...so UPS upgrades are in the wind (New APC Symmetra RM 7kva unit) and I'll be working with warren to get the daemon running on videl. (FYI: if you have a non-apc UPS and want autoshutdown...take a look at "nut"....that was what I was working on last week before all heck broke loose....we had a flood, theft, and a power outage) /brian chee University of Hawaii ICS Dept Advanced Network Computing Lab 1680 East West Road, POST rm 311 Honolulu, HI 96822 808-956-5797 voice, 808-956-5175 fax
