Sorry about the site outage...

John D. · 07-24-2012, 04:24 PM

Earlier today, a fast moving thunderstorm knocked out power to about 4000 businesses and residences in Portsmouth NH - along with my servers and circuits

I thought the battery back-ups could last a few hours, but, with 12 servers/circuits - they didn't make it

Power is back on - and thanks for your patience!!

HOWEVER - on the PLUS SIDE - it did allow me to do some really necessary cleaning of the systems and a few hardware upgrades!!

On a final note - I'm AMAZED AT HOW QUIET my office can be without all this stuff running!!!!

Best to all - and thanks again!

As soon as I realized the site was down I went on the interactive radar website and saw the band of severe weather that ran Southeasterly across the entire region. Funny thing though... the skies parted right over Andover and we only had a bit of a sprinkle interspersed with sunshine while other areas like Portsmouth and the town next door to me got absolutely pounded.

John, you should shut it all down every once in a while so you can get some rest

I would - but all the phone calls from the PGCA Members telling me the site was offline would keep me awake!!!

Well, as you can tell, I'm still working on this server... Some piece of hardware was zapped, and so I'm replacing more stuff, as it has a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) every once in a while.. I've finished replacing the obvious stuff (memory, power supplies, network cards, etc.) - so, I'm turning it on for a while to monitor it...

Best to you -and thanks for your patience and support!
