Nobody Saw That, Right?

Right?

All of you were either busy at work or home asleep and so failed to notice that a nasty BGP hiccup took both of Liquidweb's* Class B's off the net entirely** for about three hours... Yesno?

Good.

And since they offer a 99.9% uptime SLA with a 100:1 penalty clause, I expect that my bill will be rather smaller than usual this month. In fact, that should just about pay for the t-shirts.

* MuNu's hosting provider.
** Unless, it seems, you were plugged directly into the Verio backbone - which I, for one, am not.

I heard about it second hand. Helen is the one who was truly traumatized to find Munu had gone missing. It was back up by the time I got on today.

Border Gateway Protocol ... aka the hot potato effect.

or maybe it's "Bloody Great Pigeon" ... aka the way information gets around the net

or it could be "Bill Gate's Pajama Party" aka I'm gonna go away now

I was wondering why I couldn't access my own blog. I've gotta stop staying up so late.
