Wow, multi-day outage for temp badges.

I came in. Said I needed a badge. Wrote my username on a post-it and was given an E badge. I now have to tailgate (!) or ask people to badge me in.

 


In the wake of OnHub's being factory reset I'm resurrecting this post.

I can get an immediate 0 out of Comcast for a service outage just for asking. We're better than Comcast, right? right?

Anyone have scripts they use to manage non-filer-based homedirs?

I already put my git clients in /usr/local/google, but having homedir outage on my ubiquity box made things painful.

Also seems like citc clients were offline, probably because of my missing homedir...

Like many others (and Vox/LJ itself) Hi5 was affected by the power outage in Colo 4 in 365 Main.  We blogged about it over at the Hi5 Blog.
